Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Organizability of Labor Of organization in the United States in 1910 showed that the total membership Of American labor unions at that time was Inasmuch as the total number of persons gainfully employed in this year was over it ap pears that the proportion Of trade unionists among those employed in industry was comparatively small, only per cent; and the importance of labor organizations as part Of the regulative system of modern industrial life might seem correspondingly slight. The strength Of trade unionism, however, cannot be measured in this rough manner. We should not expect trade unions to include within their ranks all persons gainfully occupied. Most of those in the em ploying and salaried classes would be definitely excluded. The same thing is true of most Of those persons for the organization Of whom little or no effort is expended because of their isolation, their lack of class consciousness, or their peculiar relation to the state; for example, farm laborers and domestic servants, clerks and stenographers, firemen and policemen.2 When allowance was made for these classes and also for those workers who are excluded from the unions because below the age limit required for member ship by the rules of most of these bodies, the conclusion was reached that the extent of organization Of those persons in industry whom trade unions make definite and sustained efforts to organize was, roughly speaking, per cent in Although the absolute number of trade unionists has increased considerably within the past six years, the per centage Of organized workers probably remains not far from the same.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Organized Labor in America The historical background has been left without revision. The other parts have been condensed in many places in order to add the newer material while many chapters, especially in Parts, II, III, and V, have been quite entirely rewritten. It is the author's belief that the study now presents an interpretation that is reliable and representative Of current developments. The effects of the war period and the post-war period have been important, but the essence of the movement has been changed far less in America than elsewhere, and because of this the task of revision has been much simpler than it otherwise might have been.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Labour Organization The subject of the organization of labour is one with which it is impossible to deal adequately in a book of this size. All that we can hope to do is to outline in the roughest manner the forms of organization which labour has adopted in the past, and the new forms which it hopes to adopt in the future. We shall therefore first of all give a very brief description of the gild system, which was the universal method of organizing labour during the Middle Ages and until the middle of the eighteenth century. We shall then discuss the modern forms of labour organization, dividing the treatment of this part of the subject into two parts, first, the organization practised where the wage system prevails, and second, that practised where labour is remunerated by some payment other than wages. Under the first heading we shall treat of trade unionism, which is the principal, if not the only organization to which labour resorts under the wage system; and under the second heading, we shall treat of profit-sharing, labour copartnership, co-operation, collectivism, syndicalism and gild socialism. We shall in conclusion endeavour to arrive at an opinion as to how far any of these forms of industrial remuneration is likely to replace the present system in practice, and shall indicate the safeguards which are necessary to ensure that the existing system shall yield its uses without its abuses so long as it continues. The author wishes to express his gratitude to Mr, and Mrs. Sidney Webb for their permission to make use of their arrangement of certain branches of the subject; to Mr. Arthur Greenwood for information regarding recent statistics, and to Professor T. A. Smiddy for assistance with the proofs. 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 History and Problems of Organized Labor The aim of this volume is to present briefly the important facts in the history of organized labor in the United States, to analyze the chief problems which directly or indirectly affect the labor organizations of the present decade, and to evaluate the functions of organized labor in the industrial and political world. The history of American labor organizations presents to the observer a rapidly changing and almost bewildering picture of which few careful studies have been made. The government, ideals, practices, solidarity, and inter-relationships of such organizations have experienced, and are at present undergoing, a variety of transformations. It is the purpose of the writer to present to the student of industrial problems and to the general reader a straightforward study of the forces which have caused labor organizations to appear and to assume a variety of forms. The aim is not to justify or to condemn the practices and ideals of organized labor or of employers' associations, but to analyze the phenomena of which the practices and ideals are the visible manifestations. Labor organizations, employers' associations, strikes, boycotts, the demand for the closed shop, the sweating system, and the ideals and point of view of organized labor or of organized capital are evolved through the play of social forces working within the economic field. The modem labor problem cannot be understood, and certainly cannot be solved, until the underlying causative forces, new and old, physical and social, are laid bare.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Organized Labor: Its Problems, Purposes and Ideals and the Present and Future of American Wage Earners Labor unions are for the workman, but against no one. They are not hostile to employers, not inimical to the interests of the general public. They are for a class, because that class exists and has class interests, but the unions did not create and do not perpetuate the class or its interests and do not seek to evoke a class conflict.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Organized Labour: Its Problems and How to Meet Them Organized labor's to-morrow is in the making to-day. Certainly, this proposition is axiomatic in relation to all men and all institutions; but there come times when the fact is obtrusively evident. An hour for definite decision between courses diametrically Opposed is an hour whose influence may determine the events Of a century or a millennium. Such a crisis is imminent in the history of organized labor. Two contradictory theories upon which to mold its future present themselves and there can be no compromise between them. Being entirely convinced Of the wisdom Of one Of these courses of action, and hence necessarily entirely opposed to the adoption of the other, I am impelled to strive with all my power to induce my fellow workmen to set their feet upon that path which secures to them in their days reason able enjoyment oi the good in life, and at the same time leads them onward to the making Of progressively better conditions for their posterity. It is a choice between light and life as against darkness and death, and I am for light and life. A word concerning a matter which touches me closely. Having been informed that the settled policy Of the publisher precludes the use of the Allied Printing Trades label upon books published by it, I have requested and Obtained the permission of the Macmillan Company to announce that this book was manufactured under union conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dignity, Power, and Responsibility of Organized Labor: Labor Day Address, Greensboro, N. C., September 4, 1905 I would not say one word today that might dampen the ardor of youth in the God-given aspiration to attain unto better things in this life. I would place no stumbling-block in the path of the toiler in his struggles with poverty, buoyed up by the hope of one day reaching the goal of his ambition - a life of ease and plenty after years of toil and privation. I am a firm believer in the maxim, there's al ways room at the top and the addition to this maxim, made by a latter-day philosopher, that the top is about the only place where there is any ' room, ' is equally true. Men have risen from the ranks of the low and humble to prominence in the world. Men have gone out from the trades into the professions and achieved success. But these are the exceptions which only prove the rule. And this brings me to the point which I desire to impress upon you to-day - a truth that no amount of sophistry can change. Pleasing it may not be, and yet it were well that we appreciate its significance. It is this: That from the beginning of time until this day - and until time shall be no more the great mass of humanity must eat their bread by the sweat of their face, under the edict of Almighty God. And of all the forces at work in the world to - day organized labor is the one agency that-has accomplished most for the amelio ration of the material condition of the toilers.
