The Labour Standard
The Labour Standard was a newspaper set up as the organ of trade unionism in London in 1881. George Shipton, Secretary of the London Trades Council, was its initial editor.[1]
Engels article "A fair day's wage for a fair day's work"
The paper was published every Saturday and sold for one penny. Each edition consisted of eight pages.[2]
Frederick Engels was initially a contributor to the paper, but after Shipton complained that an article by Karl Kautsky was "too strong" Engels remarked that as some of articles would be even stronger it would be best if he withdrew from submitting further articles.[3]
