Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of the Unemployed The following essay has been written under a deep sense of the need of an honest effort at reducing if not abolishing the commercial and social cesspool of our age - unemployment. In this decade, when national ideals are taking a new and higher form, Unemployment, as a "problem of industry," should yield to the higher industrial and social righteousness. We desire to acknowledge our indebtedness to Dr. Josiah Strong, of New York; Mr. A. C. Pigou, Mr. Percy Alden, M. P.; and Mr. W. H. Beveridge, of England, whose writings have greatly helped the writer to arrive at definite conclusions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of the Unemployed, an Enquiry and an Economic Policy It is hoped that this restatement of the position, by its specific application to the concrete problem of the unem ployed and by the central importance assigned to the idea of Under-consumption, may avoid some of the mis understanding to which earlier statements were liable. By its explanation of Unemployment as a natural and necessary result of a mal-distribution of consuming-power, contained in economic rent and superfluous elements of profit, the argument claims a distinct place in the theory of social progress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of the Unemployed Anonymous As he appeared many years ago when he first became interested in the subject indicated by the following questions: Improvements in labor-saving processes make it easier to produce the necessities and comforts of life, then why should not such improvements also make it easier for all to obtain and enjoy the necessities and comforts of life? Why should not the intensity of the struggle for things be lessened by inventions which make it less difficult to produce things, and why should not life for all of us thereby be made less strenuous rather than more strenuous? Why should the production of wealth be continually curtailed by panics, dull times, and the involuntary idleness of vast numbers of workers, whose constant employment would enormously add to the prosperity and wealth of the nation? Is there a remedy? If so, does it point toward individualism and freedom or toward socialism and slavery? Does the remedy require the confiscation of private property, or does it admit of compensation in full to all who would otherwise be injured by its adoption? Must there not be some kind of a readjustment if our civilization is to survive against the forces of increasing want in the midst of increasing plenty? Read Lord Macauley's celebrated letter written in 1855, which President Garfield said startled him like "an alarm bell at night." See page 211, infra.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unemployed: A National Question Mr. Percy Alden, the author of this work, is well qualified, both by personal experience and long investigation of the problem, to give the history of the various inquiries that have been made, and of the practical steps taken by other Governments than our own.1 Some causes of unemployment can be ascertained, and preventive or palliative measures sug gested. These are fully described and dis cussed in this book. But one cause no wisdom can foresee. In our complicated industrial system, changes suddenly take place in the demand for labour against which no foresight of the wisest Government and Parliament can provide. For such a con tingency there is but one form of remedy some occupation with an unlimited demand for workers upon which everyone can in the last resort fall back. Such an occupation is the cultivation of the soil - the first and the last resource of the human race. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Unemployment The time is past when the problem of unemployment could be disposed of either by ignoring it, as was the practice until recent years in America, or by attributing it to mere laziness and inefficiency. We are beginning to recognize that unemployment is not so much due to individual causes and to the shiftlessness of won't-works, as social and inherent in our present method Of industrial organization. During the winter of 1914-1915 the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, at the request of the committee on unem ployment appointed by the mayor of New York, estimated after a careful canvass of its industrial policy-holders that persons were unemployed in New York City. In the first two weeks of February a careful canvass was made by agents Of the federal Bureau Of Labor Statistics, on the basis of which it was estimated that were still unemployed at that time. The dis puted estimate of unemployed in that city alone, made during the previous winter by the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, seems, therefore, not to have been exaggerated. At the same time relief agencies in many other cities were swamped. Municipal lodging houses were turning away many genuine seekers after work - to sleep on bare boards at the docks, in warehouses, even in morgues. The United States Census for 1900 showed that working people, or nearly 25 per cent of all engaged in gainful occupations, had been unemployed some time during the year. Of these lost from one to three months' work each; lost from: four to six months each; lost from seven to twelve months each. Similar data were collected by the government in 1910, but they are still unpublished. 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 Problem of the Unemployed: A Paper by Helen R. Y Reid, Read Before the Montreal Local Council, Received by the National Executive, and Ordered to Be Printed Migration. Of unemployment includes among 1125 many elements the great problem of rural migration. T hat factors, besides lack of work help to feed the constant stream ofpopulation which hows from city to town is of course admitted. The superior attractions, offered by the town in diversity, conditions and remuneration of employment as well as in social amenities, certainly account for no small portion of the rural exodus, but ifthose on the land had plenty to do and a decent return for doing it, the overgrowth of our towns would speedily' receive a salutary check. In Switzerland rural migration is counter Swiss House acted in some degree by a remarkable system of house industries, which, while in a measure a survival of a primitive form of produc tion, stillplays amostimportant part in the economic life ofthe nation. In the census of 1888 over men and women or 73 per cent. Of the total workers in the trade were engaged in their homes in watch and clock work. Over worked in the same way at embroidery; over at silk; 100 per cent. Of wickerwork was being made in homes 95 percent. Of wood-carving; 70 per cent. Ofmu51calinstru ments etc. The application of technical instruction to the house in dustries has been productive of immense good though doubtless their vitality owes much to the preference of the Swiss workman for his traditional work, to the difficulty of migration and to the strong attachment of the Swiss for their native soil and canton. The general emigration rate of seems very favourable when com pared with the rate for the United Kingdom which was, in 1893, (taking only British and Irish) nearly 6 per 1000. It is natural that a system, of industry so entirely outside the law, involving as it does drawbacks and blemishes in regard to conditions of labor and the employment of women and children, should be looked on with a certain degree of hostility. Then again, because of the lowness of wages earned and the consequent depression of wages in towns, thehouse-industrial system is not in favour with the urban working classes. Ou the other hand there are compensating advantages in the greater freedom enjoyed by the workers and the maintenance of family life, and it seems unquestionable that such home industries as these hand-trades materially alleviate the problem of rural migra tion and consequently the problem of rural and city unemployment, These hand-trades when brought to a high state of excellence by Government, properly regulated with no middlemen or contract makers to crush down the worker under the iron heel of a sweating system would be a source of contentment to many who come now to the cities dissatisfied and out of work, who appeal for work at lower rates than the regular worker and thus displace good men while lowering the wages of all in the trade.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unemployment Problem: Research Report Number 43; November, 1921 A man may be out of work even though work is available for him, because he is lazy, suiters from vicious habits or is averse to any useful occupation. The problem of idleness in his case becomes one of applying discipline, legislation or education as corrective measures, or of recognizing the right of the individual, under existing laws, to order his own life if thereby he does not prove either a charge upon society or a danger to the state or his fellowmen. This condition is essentially a concern of society and not of industry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Bibliography of Unemployment and the Unemployed The list here presented to the student, of nearly eight hundred books, reports, pamphlets and articles relating to the problem of Unemploy ment, is, of course, very far, alike in form and in content, from being a proper bibliography of the subject. It is, in fact, no more than a summary guide to the principal publications of the United Kingdom, and to some of those of France, Germany, Italy and the United States, for the most part within the last quarter of a century. The items referred to are not all to be found in any one library, not even in the magnificent collection of the British Museum, the courteous assistance of which institution is gratefully acknowledged. The greater number are in the British Library of Political Science, in connection with the London School of Economics and Political Science, where they are accessible not only to students of that institution, but also to any serious inquirer. The present list, pre pared in the first instance for some members of the Royal Commission on the Poor Laws and on the Relief of Distress from Unemploy ment (1 905 and revised for the use of the Research Department of the National Committee to Promote the Break Up of the Poor Law, is now placed at the disposal of a wider circle.
