Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Peace, Vol. 7 A few months ago a committee representative of the Labour movement was appointed to investigate the causes of the rise in the cost of living, and it is expected that at least an interim report will be submitted to the Trade Union Congress, which will have met before these lines appear in print. We welcome the investigation for two reasons. In the first place the charge is frequently made against the Labour party that it has offered no practicable alternative to the present economic policy of the Government. For it is argued that to express the ultimate intention of substituting State ownership for private competitive enterprise is not to provide any constructive policy for immediate application; and that if the Labour party achieved a majority and took up the reins of government in the near future, it would be forced, by the necessities of the case, to continue the policy pursued by the present administration. The first condition of successful constructive effort is accurate knowledge of the present situation and the factors responsible for its creation. In the second place the enquiry provides a test of sincerity and capacity. An ex parte statement, based upon 'selected' evidence, or resulting from sheer inability to interpret evidence honestly sought, would produce more harm than good; but a document which was scientific in the true sense of the term, distinguishing the inevitable from the avoidable, would enhance the reputation of the Labour movement. Nor is it unlikely that the Committee will rise to the level of its opportunity and responsibility. It is fairly strong, and includes economists accustomed to gather and to weigh evidence. We hope that in its report the Committee will first of all examine the existing methods of measuring changes in the level of prices. A considerable section of industrial workers - particularly of local leaders - profoundly mistrust the present official index number, which is accepted by arbitration tribunals and Government departments in dealing with applications for advances in wages. There should be, above all things, confidence in the departmental enquiries upon which the results are based, and it is therefore of the first importance that the Committee should bring these enquiries under review and either criticise or approve them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Peace, Vol. 3 During the earlier months of war an industrial truce was maintained. This was due, firstly, to an instinctive realisation of the folly, not to say the treason, Of imperilling the nationalcause by indulging in domestic strife at such a crisis; and, secondly, to the fact that, contrary to expectation, the first fruits of war were higher wages and regular employment for the working classes. During this period the hardships fell mainly on soldiers and sailors, the professional Classes and the small traders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Terms of Industrial Peace The labour question is one of those which in some form or other is constantly, and not always pleasantly, being brought to our notice. The relations between Capital and Labour, and the effect which they will presently have upon our productive power as an industrial people, have recently been considerably discussed. In the following pages I have attempted to state the case fairly, as one who has seen both sides of the problem, and to outline a scheme whereby the two contending elements may be brought together. The discussion is brief, and much more could be said, but an engineer who controls labour employed upon munitions is much too busy at the moment to do more than sketch his ideas, even though the subject be of such supreme importance and the problems involved those with which he is daily coming into contact. In writing this book I have made a very sincere attempt to approach the subject from a strictly neutral standpoint; with the result, doubtless, that I shall be told by some of my labour friends that the proposals do not go far enough, and by some employers that they go much further than is desirable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Peace, Vol. 2 WE have no intention of entering the lists in those greatly to be regretted discussions which exhibit the Government and the Higher Command of the Army as two opposing factions intriguing against each other and continually manoeuvring for position to the detriment of the State. There is no legitimate ground for partisanship at a time when national unity is all important and no Sense of fairplay in attributing ulterior motives to men in responsible positions at a time when circum stances forbid them to state their case without reservation. Those people who imagine that they are helping the Army by attacking the' Government, equally with those who think that the Government cannot be supported without criticising the Higher Command, are injuring, however unwittingly, the very causes they profess to have at heart. It is impossible for any outsider to be sufficiently well-informed to arrive at a complete and judicial decision in the matter and anything less than the whole truth is worse than useless. The question of degree hardly arises and an estimate that is only inaccurate in part may well be fraught with graver peril than an appreciation which is comprehensively ill-founded. There is only one safe course to pursue and that is to suspend judgment, to be generous and to trust the men in power to oppose the German menace with the whole resources of the State with increasing vigour and resolution. The truth will emerge in the long run. Meanwhile let us leave to the defeatists the monopoly of ignorant and ungenerous carping. If we must criticise, let us concentrate on insisting that neither time, money, nor energy is wasted on any object which does not contribute directly towards ultimate victory. The advantage which Germany possesses by virtue of centralised command operating on interior lines is enhanced by every discussion that distracts our attention andean only be neutralised by a fixed determination on our part to postpone all avoidable controversy until the enemy is defeated. To act otherwise is to play into the hands of Germany, who seeks skilfully and consistently, by evasive or ambiguous duplicity and by every knavish trick that Teuton industry can contrive, to discover the weak spots in our national armour in order that she may achieve by fraud the victory which the gallantry of the Navy and the Army prevents her from winning by force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Peace, Vol. 6 IN former articles we have discussed the various forces which tend to come into operation when industry is carried on under competitive conditions. The attitude of the law of this country hitherto has been that the interests of the community. As regards industry. Will be well served if buyers and sellers are left to compete freely among themselves. Competition among buyers will ensure a fair price to the seller. And the competition of the sellers among themselves will prevent undue exactions from the consumer. But in fact, competition - free competition - is no longer the characteristic of Western industry. In some industries the march of inven tion has given us services which depend for their efficiency on single control, whilst in others, the obvious waste of competitive production for uncertain markets has led the manufacturer to combine with his competitors in so-called Trusts. Combines. And Kartells. Free competition has already ceased to exist in many fields of industry, and the tendency is undoubtedly towards closer and more widespread combination. There is a growing feeling that the laissez-jaire policy which was considered so excellent in a free country is inadequate in face of this subtle change from competition to combination, and that the principle of award in proportion to useful activity is no longer operative. The disorganisation of the war has aggravated the appearance of evil. And Communist and Syndicalist agitators too readily exploit real grievances for ends that cannot cure them. What is monopoly? How. And why does it arise? Is it good or is it bad? What are the alternatives? We shall endeavour here to give as simply as possible the elementary facts and theory of the case. The future aspect of the problem and constructive measures for its solution will be dealt with in another series of articles beginning in our April issue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Peace, 1921, Vol. 9 Tits reluctance of private employers and the employing departments of municipalities to submit their demands for wages reductions to arbitration has excited considerable comment. And not a little adverse criticism. It is held that during the war and the transitional period which followed the armistice. Organised labour, at that time strong and aware of its strength. Consented to the settlement of its claims by the Committee on Production and the Industrial Court of Arbitration which followed it. It is therefore but right (we are told) that now, when the tide has turned and the economic power of labour has been enormously reduced, the employers should agree to the determination of wage changes by a similar impartial tribunal. But an examination of the facts of the case will show that the analogy is false. And that in refusing to employ the method of arbitration employers are by no means inconsistent. It is not, indeed. Too much to say that they are but pursuing the policy which organised labour itself approves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Peace, Vol. 4 Like everything else in this imperfect world, Trade Unionism has its shortcomings as well as its merits. Upon the latter there is no need to expatiate, for everybody acknowledges the debt which Labour owes to the principle and practice of com bination. When, however, we come to analyse this question of industrial conscription, we shall find it difficult to avoid the conclusion that the essence of effective Trade Unionism resides in its power to coerce the individual in the interest, real or supposed, of the majority of his associated comrades. There are three stages in the development of human society. In the first stage, the crude advantage of supplanting a rival is obvious and elementary. In the second stage, the lesson is learnt that unity is strength, the group prevails against the individual, the stronger group against the weaker, and the combination of groups against the group which stands alone. But as yet the lesson has been learnt only in part, for whilst much is gained by combination, more is lost by dissension. This truth has been revealed in startling fashion, and on an immense scale, by the great war. The unification of the German Empire was a sectional achievement of the first magni tude, but it brought disaster in its train because it sought to dominate the whole world by force. Now at last we know that there is a third stage, and that, in international politics at any rate, the interest of the whole transcends the interest of the part, and that is why, sooner or later, there is going to be a League of Nations to compel even the strongest group to remember the obligations which it owes to its neighbours. In the fields of British industry, however, we are only 1n the second stage. The third lesson is still unlearnt. Sectional amalgamation is all the vogue, and strong combinations, such as the Triple Alliance of Miners, Railwaymen and Transport Workers, are tempted to flatter themselves that they can coerce the individual until the machine is invincible, and, when this is accomplished, that they can proceed to dominate the country and impose their will upon a prostrate nation. May the example of Germany serve as a warning against any such false deductions. Initial advantages they may secure, but, in the long run, history will repeat itself, and a majority, called into being, like the Grand Alliance, by the stress of a common and imminent danger, will arise and overthrowthose who would usurp sovereign power in the interest of a minority - formidable though it may be.

Some of their studies of the way in which competition works itself out, seemed to him like the exercises of a chess player, delighting in brilliant combinations, and without a sigh for the knights or the pawns who may be sacrificed on the Way. Economic problems were to him pregnant with the fates of the suffering toilers whom he knew so well, and he could not bear to have them treated as mere exercises of analytical reasoning.
