68 AN INTRODUCTION TO ENGLISH RURAL HISTORY 



The Outlook. 



At a National Conference of the Agricultural Labourers" 

 and Rural Workers' Union held in April 1919 it was resolved 

 that " no adequate solution of the rural problem is possible 

 so long as the land is privately owned." The new idea is 

 rapidly permeating the ranks of the Trade Unions that 

 the worker is entitled to take at least some part in the 

 control and direction of the industry in which he gains 

 his livelihood. To the rural worker this means reform in 

 the Land Laws. To this end it behoves him to labour 

 and hope, for therein lies his real emancipation.
