Dr. Sidney Berry. speaking to a London Brotherhood, said:- "I do not want to think ill of the miner when he happens to make things inconvenient for me. I like to think of him when sitting by the fire on a winter's evening for the great human service he is performing in getting coal out of the earth.
I don't want to think ill of the railwayman when he strikes and interferes with my plans. I like to think of him when he has brought me home safely through a thick fog.
Wages, after all, are not everything, that is only a little bit of the story. It is the service -what you do and how you do it - that counts."
