Frank Hodges, a miners' union leader in Britain, described the movement as a secession from capitalism: "He (the worker) wants to know the social purpose of his work; in short, he wants to feel the joy that comes to a man whose whole personality is impressed on the object which he is in the process of creating, instead of being mere plastic clay in the hands of a system which turns his whole being into a marketable commodity" (Hodges 1920, 110- 11).
