Of course, you understand, Mr. Gompers, that such was not the intention of the resolution by any means. Mr. Gompers. I know Senator Ken on very well, and anyone knowing Senator Kenyon as well as I o realizes that nothin was further from his mind in the introduction of this resolution. Hile comparisons are odious, I am told, I shall submit the mere statement that I am satisfied beyond peradventure that that is not what the Senator had in mind. I will try to point them out a little later on if I may, and I think there may be agreement in regard to those points.

This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Industrial Conditions Lic sentiment. Which did not always need formal expression, was effective in upholding public order and morality. This sentiment had its sources chiefly in home life and training. In the in uence of religion, and in the traditions of ancestral character and public spirit, and of honorable service of pub lic interests, which were transmitted in families from gener ation to generation. The war developed in uences which seriously impaired the vitality of local self-government and of the moral and social guardianship of public order and honor. The most potent factor in this evil change was the new thirst and passion for wealth which appeared amid the morbid conditions of the life of the people after the great con ict. Under the in uence of this all-absorbing ambition the moral administration of the local communities was to a great extent abandoned, and it has never been resumed. Multitudes of citizens, relinquishing the warfare against dis order into which all true men are born, devoted their pow ers wholly to the acquisition of wealth, and this pursuit soon became a mad struggle for success and pre-eminence which produced unwholesome intellectual and social condi tions still everywhere prominent in the national character and life. Here was the source and birth of American socialism. It is the fashion to assert that socialism in this country is of foreign origin, and this notion is a comfort to many persons, but the socialism which is most vital and dynamic among us to-day is the growth of our own soil. It had its origin in the changes in thought, feeling and action produced by the rise of an over-mastering desire for wealth which has weakened all properly social motives and e brts, diminished civic patriotism, and in a great measure destroyed the sense of a Spiritual and moral community. With the decline of the life and e iciency of the local com. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of American Labor Labor was not alone in searching for a path to follow. The industrial revolution had brought forth great opportunities for progress - more production, more profit, more work. It also carried in its wake frequent loss of skills, monotony of mass production, long hours of toil, dismal working conditions, and the stench of industrial slums. The farm had had horrible conditions too but not in such concentrated doses. What to do perplexed many sensitive individuals early in the nineteenth century as in the years following. Must poverty go hand in hand with progress? To some, the answer was in the affirmative. To many members of the laissez faire school of economics, it was a dismal but nonetheless clear fact that there was only a fixed amount of money available for wages for workers; to give them more would only permit them to'propagate more, which in turn would inevitably create greater pressure on the already limited amount of funds available. Consequently, one would only pay them enough to subsist. Other members Of the laissez-faire school of economics painted a more optimistic picture of the lot of the worker - that the law of supply and demand working freely in the market place would, in the long run, all other things being equal, help the worker. In the latter part of the nineteenth century, this approach took on a Darwinian flavor. The Social Darwinists, as this group was called, argued that the best rise to the top and that the dregs settle on the bottom. Therefore, do not help those at the bottom. If they are good, they will rise. If not, they are getting what they deserve. DO not send to know for whom the bell tolls, preached the Social Darwinist. It tolled for whom it Should.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial State: A Social and Economic History of England The series of books of which the present volume forms one proposes to touch one part only of life the economic. Only' is added as a caution not always superfluous yet of course no one can fail to recognise how fundamental for individuals and for society are the ways in which they provide for themselves their 'revenue or subsistence.' And so the books of this series will range from works which frankly aim at providing the definite knowledge which young men and women will need in commercial occupations to others which set before them the general structure of contemporary economic life and the course of development by which industrial conditions have come to be what they are. And concerning these latter this much must be added. Just about a century ago, Political Economy entered into a phase which, in effect and for the great body of the people, was profoundly pessimistic. It taught, or was understood to teach, that industrial conditions were brought about by 'laws' as independent of individual human aspirations as the law of gravity. That phase has. Passed away. It is true that we see now that human character and therefore social organisation are both the results of age-long evolution, and that there are.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Years Among the Working-Classes: In the United States During the War I have been induced to bring this book before the public, that the working-classes of the United Kingdom may have the experience and opinion of one of their own order upon the condition of the people of the United States of America. I have endeavoured to give a true account of the industrial, social, moral, and political state of the people, the circumstances which influence their conduct, and the relation their condition bears to the same classes in Europe. It may he thought that some of my pictures of men and things in the New World are exaggerations; I beg, however, to say that, in my humble opinion, exaggeration of either the people or the country, even by a professional romanticist, would be next to an impossibility! It will he seen that I have not drawn an attractive picture of social life among the working-classes of America, but truth compels me to add a word or two as to the impression made upon me since my return to England, by the condition of the humbler classes in this country, viewed in contrast with those of the United States.

Download or read book Social Case Workers and Better Industrial Conditions written by Shelby M. Harrison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Case Workers and Better Industrial Conditions: Paper Read Before the Division on the Family of the National Conference of Social Work, May, 1918 What I have to say rests on the premise that the soundest kind of reform, whether industrial or any other, is that based upon informed public opinion; that in a democracy, at least, where the people determine public policy and action, if advances are to be at all permanent, they must be grounded in popular understanding of their value. In an earlier draft of this paper I included a few paragraphs in support of that premise, but, because of the shortness of the time, I omit them now, for I think we may safely assume agreement on this principle. If any need further argument, I invite you to read the papers of the Division on the Promotion of Social Programs presented at the last two sessions of the National Conference of Social Work, especially the convincing address by Mr. Allen T. Burns at the Indianapolis meeting. If, then, we can assume this premise, it follows that one, if not the chief or only, means to sound reform is through the education of the public; and it follows further that one, at least, of the best ways in which the case worker can make his knowledge contribute to industrial reform is through its educational use. In general, two broad avenues of opportunity for teaching are open to him. The first is teaching through the use of individual cases; and the second, teaching through the use of massed cases or massed facts. Both seem to me to have great value, and to give the case worker chances to make rare contributions to social reform.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Towards Industrial Freedom Although the following papers were mostly written before the Great War broke out, yet it will be noticed that the consciousness runs through them of a great irnpending crisis and transforma tion of our social arrangements, both in this country and in Western Europe. It may not have been clear at that time exactly how that crisis would come about but now that the War is on us we can see how inevitable in a sense it has been, and how this deadly strife of nations has flowed (in the main) from the hopeless falsity of the social and industrial conditions prevailing in the countries concerned - the falsity of undemo cratic societies divided into classes whose chief object in life was to prey upon each other the falsity of a so-called social order which ignored the rights of women; and the falsity of an in dustrial system whose real object was not public welfare but private gain, not the production of goods for use but the exploitation of labor for.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Co-Operation: A Series of Essays Looking to the Amelioration of the Workingman's Industrial and Social Condition Numerous volumes have been and are being written with the hope and object in view of ameliorating the unsatisfactory industrial and social conditions of the masses of the people. The workers, that is, the men and the women who produce by mental or physical means the major part of the wealth, as also the increase in population, are reminded by many that today they fare better than did kings in remote times; yet those who must work to live, under the present regime, are not satisfied. The question might be asked, what manner of life would meet the wishes of this working class of citizens? It must be conceded that for a people, in any day, to simply endure an unsatisfactory condition because they happen to participate therein, is wrong.
