Book excerpt: Excerpt from Labor and d104iles a Study of Cotton and Wool Manufacturing This is one volume in a series of industrial studies being prepared by the Labor Research Association, an organization devoted to the gathering and interpretation of economic material for the labor movement. The aim of this series is to present a picture of the development of the important American industries in relation to the workers employed in them. Other books dealing with American industries have been written from the viewpoint of the employer, the personnel manager, and the technical expert. But they have all been interested in perpetuating the present system of exploitation and in piling up more profits for powerful corporations. The present series studies American industries from the worker's viewpoint. What is the trend of production in a given industry? What are the wages, hours, and conditions of employment, and how do these compare with those in other industries? What is the extent of unemployment and what are the prospects of keeping their jobs for those workers still employed? What profits are the companies making, and how are they often concealing them? What mergers are being carried through as the employing class attempts to tighten its control? How are the corporations associated to protect their interests and oppose those of labor? To what extent are the workers already organized in company unions, in the American Federation of Labor, in the new Left Wing unions? What are the prospects for effective unionization? What is the real purpose of the "welfare" and "industrial relations" propaganda of the employers? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-04-28 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hours of Work as Related to Output and Health of Workers: Silk Manufacturing, Research Report Number 16; March, 1919 The Board's investigation of the hours-of-work problem in the silk manufacturing industry was conducted along the same general lines as the earlier investigations in the cotton1 and wool' manufacturing industries. The results of the silk investigation, however, present a striking con trast with those for the two other textile industries studied. In the northern cotton industry, reductions to less than 56 hours per week involved a general loss in ouput in more than 90% of the establishments3 and in a majority of cases this loss was approximately proportional to the reduction in time. Again, in the wool industry, a reduction to a 54 - hour schedule resulted in a general loss in output, though the loss was somewhat less pronounced than in the cotton industry.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cotton Manufacturing Industry of the United States: Awarded the David A. Wells Prize for the Year 1911-12 and Published From the Income of David A. Wells Fund The work has necessarily been restricted at several points. The early history is not given more space because, for the pur poses oi this study, it has seemed advisable to concentrate upon the later period. A history of wages in American cotton mills has not been undertaken because of the vast amount of time that would be required to secure the data on which to base any reliable conclusions. In the second part very little is said con cerning the European lace industry, because of its complicated character and the small size of our own lace manufacture. Finally, but slight reference has been made to the social condi tions under which the Operatives live, and no attempt has been made to compare cost Of living in the different countries. The object has been to secure unity, and by no means to imply that the question of laborers' welfare or standard of living is less worthy Of investigation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of Cotton Mills in the South Formerly, a landed aristocracy shut out the average man from economic participation; but with the rise of cotton mills, the poor whites were welcomed back into the service of the South. As a conclusion from my survey I cannot but express the anxiety that through lessons of the old mistake we shall avoid: the new error, insuring that Ian aristocracy of capital shall not now preclude industrial democracy. My purpose has been to describe the birth of the industry in the South rather than its development. In only a small number of instances has this plan been departed from; many topics rich in interest have not been broached. I regret that two books did not come into my hands in time to be used in this study. Holland Thompson's The New South, and George T. Winston's A Builder of the New South (the story of the life work of D. A. Tomp kins), are contributions which will be found valuable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from York Institution Publications, Vol. 1: Industrial Education in Public Schools Phy, geology and natural history, and the chemistry ofsoils in relation to all vegetable fibres and to all animals which yield fibres to the textile arts. Next would come the phy sical study of the fibres themselves with the microscope, the polariscope, and the camera, and an examination of all kinds of cotton, wool, flax, hemp and silk. Then the study of the manufacture of all textiles historically and mechanically. Next the fundamental principles of all the machines which are in use, with laboratory practice in the art of carding, spinning and weaving. The professor of architecture would be called upon to give lessons in mill construction. The professor of underwriting might be called in to aid with a special course, and might teach something more than the art of saving property from fire. And finally, the professor of political science would treat the condition of the operative, and the historic changes which the introduction of machinery has made in the con dition of the people of all lands. In short, the professor of every science would be called upon to do his best in the instruction of students in the textile department in order that they might be well qualified to take their degree and enter upon the work of life as well equipped as they should be. When it is considered that the annual value of the textile industries of the United States already amounts to more than six hundred million dollars, and that of the im ported products to more than one hundred andtwenty-five millions, can we not see What a wide field is opened for qualified young men to enter upon this one branch of hu man industry. And yet in this country there is no school for special instruction and training in this department, while in Europe there are already many well established, and others still in prospect.
