Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Articles on Trade Unions Out of the wealth of literature on trade unions, a limited selection for reprinting is planned to serve: 1. as a general historical, descriptive and critical exposition of the subject, 2. as the foundation for arguments on the benefits of trade unions to their members and to society. Advanced students of the subject may see no need of the general literature of so time-worn a subject, and no room for argument on what appears to be a one-sided topic. It should be remembered, however, that in many parts of our country, particularly where agriculture is the chief industry, trade unionism is absolutely unknown to the people, except through newspaper publicity given when some outrage of public welfare is charged against unionism. With a view to making this handbook useful to people whose sole knowledge has come from such sources, no blindly partisan literature has been reprinted. The publications of the American Federation of Labor and the National Association of Manufacturers are listed in the bibliography, and may be had by corresponding with the officers of those organizations. The bibliography is designed to be comprehensive enough to be of use to advanced students of the subject as well as to the general public and the debater. An earlier number of the Debaters' Handbook Series on the Open versus the Closed Shop contains an extensive bibliography. Duplication of reprints contained in the earlier number has been avoided.

This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Closed Shop in American Trade Unions The primary aim of the present study is to set forth the facts concerning the closed shop. It is proposed, first, to trace the manner in which the closed-shop rule developed among the early trade societies in America, and to disclose the motives which led to its incorporation into trade-union policy. Secondly, the history of the closed-shop movement will be set forth. The relative importance attached to the enforcement of the closed shop at various stages in our industrial development and the efforts which employers have made to check its operation will be shown. Next, the forms of the closed shop as they exist in various unions will be described. This analysis will make clear what the closed shop is and how far exclusion from employment is involved in its working. The manner in which the closed shop is established and the methods by which it is enforced will then engage our attention. When the closed shop has thus been described in detail, it will be possible in succeeding chapters to study its value as a trade-union device and its economic import.

This book was released on 2019-01-07 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Articles on the Closed Shop The abnormal industrial prosperity of the war period, with its high wages, high prices, ready employment, prodigal spend ing, and its rapid growth and domineering attitude Of trade unionism, brought in its wane a spontaneous and nation-wide demand among employers for the Open shop. In many parts of the country employers associations and Chambers of commerce, who bided their time during the period Of greater prosperity, took advantage Of the increasing unemployment in the fall Of 1920 and the Winter and spring that followed to conduct active campaigns 'of publicity, issuing hundreds Of bulletins, filling various trade and commercial papers with articles, and other wise disseminating propaganda advocating the Open shop which they called the American plan for they claim to be actuated by motives Of highest patriotism. Labor, lacking the whip hand which it held during the war period, but realizing the real pur pose and the full significance of these campaigns, fought to the limit Of its power all attempts to crush out the closed shop. In several Cities the central labor body collected funds, issued pamphlets, and furnished speakers for clubs and public meet ings, in an effort to counteract the aggressive campaign Of the employers. Thus was written another Chapter in the strug gle Of organized labor to establish the union or closed shop against the determined resistance of the employers, and again the Closed shop controversy became one Of the leading public questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Trade Unionism Though we undertook the study of the Trade Union movement, not to prove any proposition of our own, but to discover what problems it had to present to us, our minds were not SO blank on the subject that we had no preconception of the character of these problems. We thought they would almost certainly be economic, pointing a common economic moral; and that expectation still seems to us so natural, that if it had been fulfilled we should have accepted its fulfilment without comment. But it was not so. Our researches were no sooner fairly in hand than we began to discover that the effects of Trade Unionism upon the conditions of labour, and upon indus trial organization and progress, are so governed by the infinite technical variety of our productive processes, that they vary from industry to industry and even from trade to trade; and the economic moral varies with them. Where we expected to find an economic thread for atreatise, we found a spider's web; and from that moment we recognized that what we had first to write was not a treatise, but a history. And we saw that even a history would be impossible to follow unless we separated the general history of the whole movement from the particular histories of thousands of trade societies, some of which have maintained a continuous existence from the last century, whilst others have cropped up, run their brief course, and disappeared. Thus, when we had finished our labour of investigating the records of practically every important trade society from one end of the kingdom to the other, and accumulated piles of extracts, classified under endless trades and subdivisions of trades, we found that we must exclude from the first volume all but a small selection from those documents which appeared to us most significant with regard to the development of the general movement. Many famous strikes and lock-outs, many interesting trade disputes, many sensational prosecutions, and some furious outbursts of riot and crime, together with many drier matters relating to particular trades, have had either to be altogether omitted from our narrative, or else accorded a strictly subordinate reference in their rela tion to the history of Trade Unionism as a whole. All analysis of the economic effects of Trade Union action we reserve for a subsequent volume on the Problems of Trade Unionism, for which we shall draw more fully from the annals of the separate unions. And in that volume the most exacting seeker for economic morals will be more than satisfied; for there will be almost as many economic morals drawn as societies described.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Restoration of Trade Union Conditions In the increasing stress of international competition, much will depend for this country on the rapidity and the smoothness with which our industries can resume their normal work. If this resumption is hampered by ill-feeling and suspicion between employers and workmen - still more, if it is delayed by industrial war - the loss to the community will be incalculable. A grave peril hangs over the nation on the coming of peace. Second only in urgency to the problem of demobilization is the problem of the restoration of what are called Trade Union conditions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trade Union Law The legal problems which the subject of Trade Unionism produces are considerable. In the first place, the Trade Union shares with other voluntary societies that ambiguous intermediate region between the individual and the corporation which the law has so tentatively defined; secondly, the common law doctrine of restraint of trade and conspiracy have given a fundamental taint of illegality to Trade Union activity which the statute law has not entirely succeeded in removing; thirdly, both the judicial decisions and the legislation (the latter often reversing the former) are so conflicting and difficult to reconcile, that in many cases they have but made confusion worse confounded. Moreover, recent decisions on the legal position of commercial combinations as Trade Unions show that Trade Union Law is destined to have great developments in a region hardly contemplated by the framers of the Act of 1871 - developments which it may be predicted are likely in the future to have very far-reaching effects.

This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Control of Strikes in American Trade Unions Strikes have been a marked feature of American industrial life during the last fifty years, and this period has been characterized by the rise and growth of trade unions in this country. The two facts are closely connected. The purpose of a strike is to enforce the demands of the men who engage in it by a withdrawal from work. To make this device more effective, the trade union endeavors to organize the workmen. By means of organization three results are accomplished. In the first place, the strike is made more comprehensive and therefore is more likely to succeed. Secondly, the strike is more efficiently financed and the strikers, therefore, can stand out longer. Finally, the advantages won by the strike are better retained when a permanent organization of the men is accomplished.
