Reference no: J-044-002

The Labour movement was divided by different philosophies and tactics during the Liberals' final years in power. Favouring an independent Labour Party, the weaker craft unions worked through the Liberals to reform the arbitration system; unions belonging to the more militant Federation of Labour, formed in 1909, were committed to forcing better wages and working conditions through direct industrial action.

Will Hope was Truth's cartoonist before joining the New York Globe in 1915 and later worked for the Daily Herald in London.
