Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trade Unionism New and Old All that I desire to add has been compressed into a Supplementary Chapter, in which the several controversial points are dealt with, and statistics are brought upto date. The book was written in the heat of controversies to which illusion is made, the somewhat severe criticisms being justified by the then facts and circumstances. If they now appear to be harsh, it is because the policy then denounced has been abandoned, or so modified as to be no longer open to the condemnation then pronounced.

At one time it was confidently stated that trade unions were directly derived from the old guilds of the Middle Ages. This statement was principally based upon the views of Dr. Brentano and particularly upon his work on the history and development of guilds and the origin of trade unions.

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.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The International Council of Trade and Industrial Unions Trade Unions arose as organs of the working class to counter balance the growing exploitation. In its early form the trade union was a union of workers in a certain craft, having for its object to assist its members employed in a definite category of labor. As the capitalist system grew and developed so the form of organization of the trade union changed also, and with that the scope and character of its work also changed. It is necessary to observe, however, that the form of organization of the trade unions always lagged behind the form of organization of capitalism which during the last nine years has developed such powerful organizations, like trusts and syndicates, the competition among which, as is known, led to the world war. While capitalism in the course of its development assumed new forms of organization which facilitated it in exploiting labor and subjecting to itself the apparatus of the State, the trade unions lagged behind like a shadow, in many countries preserving the old forms of organization, with all their close corporative character, narrowness and limitations. In counter acting the increasing exploitation, in striving to raise the standard of living, to improve the conditions of labor, andsecure the principle of collective agreements the trade unions always acted on the basis of capitalist relations, and as the unions grew and became internally consolidated the idea of an unbreakable tie between the trade unions and the existing order of things became stronger. The older the trade union move ment became and capitalism the more powerful the more clearly and definitely did the idea become of the necessity for the existence of capitalism and the co-operation of classes as a condition for the improvement of the standard of living of the workers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in American Trade Unionism But much more than the lessening interest of other prob lems, it has, Of course, been the increasing intrinsic im portance of the labor question that really explains the present. Popular absorption in the subject. The marvellous indus trial expansion of the United States in the past decade has been accompanied by a notable change in the quality Of the productive factors. Labor, as an industrial agent, no. Less than capital, has become almost a new thing under an Old name. The familiar problems of the labor world have taken on a more intense phase, and a whole array of new questions challenge attention. Of these labor problems, trade unionism is far and away the most important. Broadly understood, American trade unionism is the Merican labor problem; and, in a narrow acceptation, trade-union policy and practice impinge at some point or other upon such specific social problems as immigration, child-labor, employers' liability, and methods Of industrial remuneration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Documents Illustrating the History of Trade Unionism: I. The Tailoring Trade Metropolis, now Westminster against the City. We are able to trace his gradual increase of wages and diminution of hours, a progress constantly interrupted by the pressure of the unemployed, and by the enormous uctuations in the trade caused by the periods of Court mourning. We watch the working of the curious system of the House of Call, and we see the coming in of piecework, now universal in the trade. We may even, towards the close of the history, trace the beginnings of the pernicious system of giving out work to be done in the men's own homes, which has been, for the last fifty years, the special bane of the industry. We have, in fact, in this unique series of contemporary pictures of the tailoring trade, extend ing over a century and a quarter, most interesting materials, both for the story of the industry itself, and for that economic history of the eighteenth century of which we are all so much in need.

This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trade Unionism and Munitions IN the autumn of 1914 when the scientific study of the effects of war upon modern life passed suddenly from theory to history, the Division of Economics and History of the Carnegie Endow ment for International Peace proposed to adjust the programme of its researches to the new and altered problems which the War presented. The existing programme, which had been prepared as the res'ult of a conference of economists held at Berne in 1911, and which dealt with the facts then at hand, had just begun to show the quality of its contributions; but for many reasons it could no longer be followed out. A plan was therefore drawn up at the request of the Director of the Division, in which it was proposed, by means of an historical survey, to attempt to measure the economic cost of the War and the displacement which it was causing in the processes of civilization. Such an 'economic and Social History of the World War it was felt, if undertaken by men of judicial temper and adequate training, might ultimately, by reason of its scientific obligations to truth, furnish data for the forming of sound public opinion, and thus contribute fundamentally towards the aims of an institution dedicated to the cause of international peace.

This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 194 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.

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.
