Henry Demarest Lloyd (1847 1903), writer and social reformer, rose
to prominence as one of America's first muckraker journalists. Born
in New York City, Lloyd started his journalism career at the
Chicago Tribune and went on to expose the abuse of power in
American oil companies. He also pursued a career in politics. In
1899 he travelled to New Zealand and Australia, the 'political
laboratories' of Great Britain, to investigate how they resolved
the conflict between organised capital and organised labour, and
how they promoted social welfare. This book, published in 1900,
praises New Zealand's system of compulsory arbitration and
describes many instances of successful dispute resolution, from
clothing manufacture to newspaper typesetting. The book includes an
introduction by William Pember Reeves (1857 1932), liberal
newspaper editor and writer, who as New Zealand's minister of
labour had brought in the Arbitration Act of 1894 and other
important labour legislation."
