Excerpt from Man or Machine Which?: Or an Interpretation of Ideals at Work in IndustryDowned by our idealism. But What quality or fibre has our optimism When faced towards our mills and our industrial machines? We have more machines than guns, more laboring men than soldiers. We know that every calendar day our mill sites are turned over to strifes as bitter as war into battle-grounds Whereon deadly hates between man and man are as deep-nourished in gall as is any hatred between Invader and Invaded. What do we see ahead, then, for Man and The Machine? We have a night-mare at our bed's head! It is a horrible polished skeleton.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
