Abstract
Historians have already called attention to parallels between the American Progressive Era and the age of Lloyd George, but the differences are more striking still. American trade unionists and socialists formed no alliance like the British Labour Party. While British reformers believed that the organization of labor and capital would help to quiet industrial unrest, Progressives distrusted both sides and insisted that the public participate as an independent third party in industrial conciliation. American federalism, moreover, prevented Progressives from introducing as much state intervention into industrial relations as their British contemporaries and from enacting social reforms on a national scale.
