Talk:Arthur Field (trade unionist)

Discovery of a letter of Field's published in Justice (23 May 1896)
“In last week’s Labour Leader appears the following note:– ‘Dr. Aveling has joined the S.D.F. the I.L.P. having expelled him and the Eight Hours League being defunct, he had to get a footing somewhere for the coming International’.‡ I write as a friend of the SDF and of Dr. Aveling, and as a member of the ILP, to say that members of the SDF ought to be informed that the paragraph is untrue in substance and in fact. Dr. Aveling has not been expelled by the ILP and is in no danger of lacking a credential from a branch of that organisation. The London E.C. of that party is not ‘the ILP’, nor is the Labour Leader, by the way, the organ of ‘the ILP’. I say this so that they may take at its true value this latest example of the lying venom which is, strange to say, unfortunately characteristic of Mr. Hardie’s organ towards Dr. Aveling. I am, yours fraternally… A. Field" Procureur2014 (talk) 12:25, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
