Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Factory System and the Factory Acts Half-a-century ago the Factory System meant to the minds of most people a new and portentous phenomenon in industry against which unusual precautions'had to be taken lest it should issue in a degenerated race of operative labourers Factory Acts meant the partial and peculiar body of laws specially devised to avert this catastrophe. At the present day both these significations are completely obsolete. So far from the Factory System being regarded now as likely to degenerate labourers, it is that persistently recom mended by some of the best friends of labour as a happy means of escape from other modes of industry; and the Factory Acts are so little partial in their operation, that it is difiicult for anyone, not an expert, to say what is, and what is not (within the compass of productive in dustry) excluded from their wide-spreading influence. These great changes seem to require some explanation. The fundamental explanation resides, of course, in.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Factories and the Factory System: From Parliamentary Documents and Personal Examination Tan object of this work may be explained in a few words: it is neither intended to attack nor to defend the Factory System, but simply to state what that system is to explain what is its nature and what are its results, so far as they have been yet developed in human expe ricuce. It is told of Charles II. That he once asked the Royal Society to tell him the reason why a dead salmon weighed heavier than a live one? Many learned disputations at once arose, and the controversy was daily becoming more violent, until some disinterested spectator proposed to inquire into the fact, and he found that there was no dif ference whatever between the two weights. In the countless pamphlets and speeches which have appeared on the Factory System, it seems to have been similarly taken for granted that the leading facts of the Factory System had been ascertained; but, having reason to doubt the fact, I resolved to weigh the salmon, and to state the result of the experiment, leaving the disputants to harmonise that result with their experiments according to their own discretion. It may possibly be objected that I have used weights derived from Political Economy; but in all experiments it is necessary to have our standards determined by the accuracy of science, and Economics bear the same relation to social questions that Mathematics do to Astronomical phenomena. In all ages there have been controversialists who dislike this reference to the rigid standards of science, but men never set themselves against reason until they find that reason is set against them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Factory Realism and romance lie very near to gether, and we shall find the factory, when we come to study the history of it, some thing more than granite walls and grinding machinery; the factory, indeed, has been an important instrument in the upward pro gress of mankind. There is an ugly side to the story, especially in the beginning, for when the craftsmen of the world were trans formed into factory operatives, thousands suffered a degree of poverty never known before, and many perished in the transition to the new system of manufacturing; but in the end that system revolutionized the whole social order, gave to toil its right ful dignity, and, creating a new loyalty to the cause of labor, became an element in the development of modern democracy. It is this brighter side of the story that. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Factory Movement, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Year 1802, to the Enactment of the Ten Hours Bill in 1847 Custom has established the rule, that authors should state the reasons why they write books. Recent discussions in parliament, and the tone of a portion of the periodical literature of the time, have convinced the Author that the facts of the factories, as these existed prior to factory regulation by law, were either forgotten or misunderstood, and, that the means taken to change that condition have been frequently misapprehended; he, therefore, considers it to be a duty to present to the public and to statesmen a narrative, compiled from authentic sources, embodying these facts.

This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to a History of the Factory System I had aspired to write the History of the Factory System. In collecting materials for doing so two difficulties continually confronted me. The first was the great mass of detail that would need to be presented to the reader should the work attempt in even a moderate degree to justify its title. The second was the lack of material of prime importance on which such a history could be based. The factory system of the far past has left no records behind; that remains still a subject of inquiry and speculation. The history of the modern factory system is almost equally difficult of access. It is to be found only in the few, and generally vague, allusions of very various writers; and in official documents and departmental reports of this and other countries. There is absolutely no independent source of information in English literature, that I know of, dealing with the whole of this subject. I have preferred instead then, greatly to limit the scope of my original design, and to confine it to an Introduction only, and that in outline, to such a history, arranged in what I consider would be something like the proper form for a work of the kind to assume.

Download or read book Managers and Workers written by Daniel Nelson and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the early years of this century, the classic factory system of the industrial revolution evolved rapidly into a new, identifiable form that would characterize American and world industry for most of the twentieth century. This transformation, as important for industrial managers, workers, and consumers as the initial creation of the factory, is the subject of Daniel Nelson’s illuminating synthesis, updated and expanded to include the scholarship of recent decades. This edition of Managers and Workers describes the interrelations between technological and organizational innovation, including such familiar developments as the spread of mass production and the emergence of scientific management, and other developments that were little known when the first edition of this book appeared, such as the revolution in factory architecture, the changing role of the foreman, and the spread of personnel work. The volume also incorporates the best scholarship of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, some of it stimulated by Managers and Workers, and includes a new chapter on the role of organized labor in the early twentieth-century factory. The focus of the work, however, remains the individual managers and workers who created the twentieth-century factory system. The preeminent historian of the American business firm, Alfred D. Chandler Jr. reviewed the first edition of Managers and Workers in The Journal of Economic History, predicting that this book would “long remain the standard work on the origins of the American factory.” The second edition will make that prediction true for the 1990s and beyond.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Factory System of the United States When the people of the states saw that the treaty of Paris had not brought industrial independence, as new form of expression of patriotism took the place of military service; and associations were formed the object of which was to discourage the use of British goods, and as the Articles of Confederation did not provide for the regulation of commerce the legislatures of the states were besought to protect home manufactures. The Constitution of 1780 remedied the defects of the articles in this respect, and gave Congress the power to legislate on commercial mm The Constitution was really the outcome of the industrial necessities of the people, because it was on account of the difficulties and the irritations growing out of the various commercial regulations of the individual states that a convention of commissioners from the various states was held in Annapolis in September, 1786, which convention recom mended the one that framed the new or present Constitution of the United States. Of course those industries whose products were called for by the necessities of the war were greatly stimulated, but with peace came reaction and the flooding of our markets with foreign goods.
