MANAGERIAL CONTROL 69 when the working class has already established its hegemony over one-third of the world's population. These pro-management and anti-working class theories are still being propounded under the various schools of management theory and while fighting these anti-working class doctrines, we can certainly learn a lot from this debate between a managerialist Ure and Karl Marx.

They seemed to be always cheerful and alert; taking pleasure in the light play for their muscles, enjoying the mobility natural to their age. The scene of industiy, so far from exciting sad emotions, in my mind, was always exhilarating. It was delightful to observe the nimbleness with which they pieced both the ends, as the mule carriage began to recede from the fixed roller beam, and to see them at leisure, after a few seconds exercise of their tiny fingers, to amuse themselves in any attitude they chose, till the stretch and winding were once more completed. The work of these lively elves seemed to resemble a sport in which habit gave them a pleasing delight to show it off to any stranger. As to exhaustion of the day's work, they evinced no trace of it on emerging from the mill in the evening, for they immediately began to step about the neighbouring playground, and to commence their little games with the same alacrity as boys issuing from a school", c f, Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, Collected Works, Vol 4, p 458. 13 Daniel A Wren, op cit, pp 63-75. 14 Karl Marx, Capital, Vol, 1, p 293 15 Ibid, pp 394-395. 16 Ibid, pp 340-341, 458. 17 Ibid, pp 313-315. 18 Andrew Ure, op cit, pp 19-25. 19 Karl Marx, "Poverty of Philosophy", in Marx and Engels, Collected Works, Vol 6, p 188. 20 Andrew Ure. op cit, p 24.
