Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scientific Management and Labor The book here presented is based upon an investigation of scientific management in its relations to labor, made by the writer for the United States Commission on Industrial Relations. The investigation involved a study of scientific management shops designated, in the main, by Mr. Frederick W. Taylor, Mr. H. L. Gantt and Mr. Harrington Emerson, leaders of the movement. In this shop study, the investigator was assisted by Mr. Robert G. Valentine, Industrial Counselor, appointed by the Commission to represent employing management, and Mr. John P. Frey, Editor of the "International Molders' Journal," similarly appointed to represent labor. Both Mr. Valentine and Mr. Frey were in close touch with the writer during the course of the investigation and the preparation of the report to the Commission, and both attached their signatures to that document as well as to the conclusions which were presented with it. This monograph has also received their unqualified approval. The discussion which follows is for the most part an attempt to test Mr. Taylor's claims respecting scientific management in its relations to labor, the claims of Mr. Gantt and Mr. Emerson being considered only in so far as they differ from those of Mr. Taylor. Justification for this mode of procedure is clearly set forth in the text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
