vii. manufacturing industries.
the only claim laid on those that wished to follow a trade or craft was
that they should be of good character, and that they themselves and
their property should not be under the control of any other person.
The second was the regulations in §§ 13 and 14, where, in contrast
with the requirements of the enactment of 1846 regarding those that
established factories or followed a craft, it was left to the workers
themselves to decide whether they should form unions or not.
The third objection was directed against the absence in the act of
regulations enabling the followers of a trade to train workmen to become
skilful artisans.
Ever since the beginning of the decade 1870—80, i. e., only a few
years after the grant of the formerly so much longed for freedom
of trade, the above-mentioned defects in the law have made themselves
felt with undiminished force, and this is the more remarkable as the
alterations made in the above-mentioned details may be considered as
the chief points in the act of 1846. As a matter of fact, they may
be regard as relics of the guild-system, whose constitution, among
other things, was distinguished by regulations concerning a) the
ability necessary for being allowed to follow a trade, b) the formation
of unions or associations, and, c) the training of apprentices and
journeymen. At the present time, there seems to exist a general desire to renew
in some modern form, among other things, the regulations determining the
skill that an artisan should possess before being allowed to carry on his
trade, just as in Germany, where such a rule has already been
established (Befähigungsnachweis). Of låte years, as a matter of fact,
propositions have been made to this end.

are reckoned among handicraftsmen.
