Excerpt from Unemployment and American Trade Unions The New York Department of Labor has collected since March, 1897, statistics of unemployment among the trade unionists of that State. From 1897 to 1914 it collected semi annually, from all the trade unions, information as to the number of members employed and unemployed on the last working days of March and September, the causes of such unemployment, the number of members idle throughout the first and third quarters of the year, and the number of days which each member worked during these periods. The supply of this information was made compulsory by law. Since December, 1901, the New York Department has selected certain local unions in each trade and industry from which it has secured monthly returns as to unemployment. It has attempted to select local unions which have reliable and intelligent secretaries, to have each trade represented in proportion to the number of workmen engaged in each class, and to maintain the same proportionate representation from month to month so that the data may 'be comparable.

Excerpt from Unemployment and Trade Unions As such it is, as it seems to me, entitled to the thoughtful attention of all those, who have the welfare of the wage earning classes really at heart, and in considering its arguments Tariff Reformers and Free Traders alike can afford for the nonce to lay their differences on the fiscal question on one side. And a thorough study of the subject is an urgent necessity at the present time. The State is now definitely committed to an active policy with regard to unemploy ment. One important step has already been taken in the establishment of Labour Exchanges supported by public funds. Another step, even more important, and more difficult, is likely to follow soon, viz. A State-aided system of insurance seeking to provide for the workman during spells of unemployment and to prevent such periods from causing a permanent deterioration in his condition or in that of his family.

Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... LONGMANS, GREEN, AND CO. 39 PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON NEW YORK, BOMBAY, AND CALCUTTA PREFACE. BY VISCOUNT MILNER. For years past no word has been more constantly on the lips of all men interested in social questions than the word unemployment. And latterly it has also played a leading part in our political controversies. There is a profound difference of opinion between Tariff Reformers and the supporters of " Free Trade " as to the fiscal arrangements best calculated to improve the amount and the character of employment in this country. But the more thoughtful members of both the contending parties are agreed that fiscal arrangements, however deeply they affect the amount and character of employment, are not the only factor in the case, and that, with our modern industrial system, seasons of unemployment will, in a greater or less degree, continue to threaten the workman, whatever fiscal policy we may adopt. As Mr. Jackson well puts it in his opening chapter, "it is clear that side by side with any fiscal reform and any general social policy certain measures specifically directed against unemployment are necessary." This book is the careful attempt of an expert, and a life-long student of industrial conditions, to indicate the lines which such measures ought to follow 212288 As such it is, as it seems to me, entitled to the thoughtful attention of all those, who have the welfare of the wageearning classes really at heart, and in considering its arguments Tariff Reformers and Free Traders alike can afford for the nonce to lay their differences on the fiscal question on one side.

Excerpt from Labor and the Employer In such' a situation, the views of the chief authoritative ex ponent of American trade-unionism on the outstanding topics discussed in the present volume are at this moment directly to the point. The issues are literally those around which indus trial unrest for the most part centers. Thereby the volume adds an immediate practical interest to the permanent educational value which thoughtful students of the unfolding movements of the time will readily see in it. The first volume, Labor and the Common Welfare, embodies Mr. Gompers' interpretation of labor's relation to the wen-being of the whole community. The present volume goes to the heart of the ever-present concrete problems of employment relations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.
