Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Labor and the War Thus burdened with work - work which he loved because it was work for the common cause of human ity - he was 'of necessity also the voice of the cause for which he worked. America has known no firmer voice in the trying months that have passed. It has been a voice for democracy, a voice for freedom, and a voice stem and harsh in combating those insidious forces of pacifism and pro-germanism that cropped up here and there in our midst as we struggled against the common enemy. There are collected in this volume the principal ad dresses delivered by Mr. Gompers during the period of the great war, including the address delivered in the Chicago Auditorium before a magnificent audi ence representative of the whole nation upon his re turn from his remarkably successful tour of the Al lied nations as chairman of an American Federation of Labor mission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Labor and the Next War The working people of the United States live in a new period of history. The old period ended in 1917 when we entered the world war. As a result of the war the United States is a nation that differs much from the old nation before the war. We live in an imperialist period of American history. What does imperialism mean? It means the extension of power and American rule over other peoples and nations. It means a lust for conquest. It means the suppression of the aspirations of peoples overseas. It means either control of or dictation to their governments, and this eventually leads to annexation. It means large naval power to keep these peoples in submission. It means a permanent militarism which cursed the peoples of Europe for a generation before the world war. Workingmen may ask, How does all this affect us and our families? Why should we worry? The answer is that no government can be a tyrant abroad without becoming a tyrant at home. It cannot suppress freedom overseas without suppressing it at home. It cannot make slaves of other peoples without making slaves at home. If it cares not for the institutions of other peoples it will have little regard for any at home that stand in the way of its domineering rule. If it imposes autocracy on others it eventually will impose autocracy on you. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Labor Year Book, Vol. 3: 1919-1920 The largest portion of the material for the present volume of the American Labor Year Book, - the third since its inaugura tion, - was almost ready for the printers in the Summer of 1919, when a New York State Legislative Committee made an illegal and unwarranted search of the premises of the Rand School of Social Science, removing from the files and desks of the Department 'of Labor Research, reports of government bureaus, labor and kindred organizations, and various foreign publications, collected in the course of preparation of the material for the Year Book. The objects of the raiders were frustrated in the courts but a sufficient amount of annoyance and inconvenience was created by them. The editor was forced to postpone the date of publi cation, pending the replacement Oi the removed material and the preparation of new articles. When the losses were repaired, the strike of the New York printing pressmen occurred, which further delayed the publication of the book.

This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Labor Year Book, 1926, Vol. 7 Redoubled effort has been made, in preparing this issue of the american labor year book, to turn out a volume of practical usefulness to the practical worker in the trade union and labor political ranks. Into the following pages has been packed as much as possible of the information which the worker needs in his trade union meeting, in noon-hour discussions with his fellow-workingmen, or on the stand for his political party, to back up his arguments and drive home his points. In wage negotiations, laying out union tactics, or shaping political programs, knowledge of the facts of industry and of what the other branches Of the labor movement are doing is essential. To search through the multitude of Official reports and books on any industrial subject - or even to discover what books and reports exist on it - is Often beyond the limited time and energy Of the worker. To condense into useable size, and to interpret accurately the information gathered, may be beyond the limited experience of one not accustomed to handling statistics. Itis to meet the needs of this situation that the american labor year book is written. The first section, on Industrial and Labor Conditions, has been nearly doubled in size. Here will be found, in easily understood form, figures on industrial production corporation profits, new mergers and trusts, the workers share in the product Of industry, the trend Of wages, hours, unemployment, child labor, and related subjects, collected from widely scattered sources. Probably no equal number of pages anywhere else will give so clear a picture of the conditions which today confront the mass of American workers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Organized Labor in America The historical background has been left without revision. The other parts have been condensed in many places in order to add the newer material while many chapters, especially in Parts, II, III, and V, have been quite entirely rewritten. It is the author's belief that the study now presents an interpretation that is reliable and representative Of current developments. The effects of the war period and the post-war period have been important, but the essence of the movement has been changed far less in America than elsewhere, and because of this the task of revision has been much simpler than it otherwise might have been.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Labor and the War: American Federation of Labor and the Labor Movements of Europe and Latin America For the purpose of placing before all who may be interested the fullest possible information upon the subjects indicated in the title, this pamphlet is published. In addition it should be stated that in August, 1918, two American Labor missions visited Great Britain, France, Belgium and Italy. The first mission consisted of: Samuel Gompers, President American Federation of Labor; John P. Frey, Editor International Molders' Journal; C. L. Baine, Secretary Boot and Shoe Workers' Union; Edgar Wallace, former Editor United Mine Workers Journal; W. J. Bowen, President Bricklayers and Masons' International Union. The personnel of the second mission: James Wilson, President Pattern Makers' League of North America; F. J. McNulty, President International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers; John Golden, President United d104ile Workers of America; Michael Green, President United Hatters of North America; Peter Josephine, member Granite Cutters International Association. These two missions returned to the United States the first part of November. At the time this pamphlet is prepared, the opportunity has not been afforded for these two missions to make their formal reports to the A. F. of L.; hence their omission from this pamphlet. These reports when made will be submitted to the 1919 convention of the American Federation of Labor or published in pamphlet form or in the American Federationist.

Thirty million men and their dependents, equivalent to the total population of the United States, are now being fed, clothed and housed by the belligerent governments. Who can imagine the tremendous upheaval resulting from the sudden unemploy ment of almost the entire working population of the United States? England by no means has the largest army, yet England is planning to distribute the process of demobilization over twelve months at least 1n order to forestall chaos and misery. The problem of merely getting the boys out of the trenches and back to the benches 1s daily assuming larger proportions.

The exceptions are comparatively few. The great majority, say nineteen twentieths, probably thirty-nine fortieths, have a preponderance of interests on the side of labor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National War Labor Board: A History of Its Formation and Activities, Together With Its Awards and the Documents of Importance in the Record of Its Development The annals of the National War Labor Board constitute one of the most important chapters in the history of American labor during the period of the war. In order that the record of the board's work may be preserved and made available in convenient form to the student of industrial relations, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has undertaken the task of assembling the material bearing directly upon its establishment and activities. No final report was made by the board upon its dissolution in August, 1919. Its latest official report covered' the 12 months' period ending May 31 'an attempt has been made therefore in the present volume to complete the history of the board's work down to the date of its adjournment. Definite information was not available in all cases, but careful estimates have been made with the idea that exact figures, although desirable, are not essential. It was not deemed necessary to reproduce in full the awards of the National War Labor Board, but 106 representative awards illustrate the Board's interpretation of the principles laid down for it by the employers and workmen of the country as represented in the War Labor Conference Board. N o attempt has been made to generalize as to the interpretation and application of these principles by the War Labor Board. Con elusions as to its attitude toward its specific problems is left to the student from the facts here presented. Nor has any attempt been made in the preparation of this report to digest the decisions of the board, a thorough analysis already having been prepared by Mr. R. P. Reeder of the staff of the War Labor Board. This analysis is reprinted herewith. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Here Comes Labor There are about fifty million men and women in this country who work - or would like to work - for wages. They do not employ others; they are not mem bers of the professions. No doubt they are workers, but one cannot say what the whole mass of them wants, or where they are going, or what they are try ing to do. They have never gotten together and de cided on these things. They have no one to speak for them, or to lead them; they have no way of planning and acting together as a whole group to help make the life of each individual better. So it is only the workers organized in labor unions who can be counted as a force in this country. Theyhave spokesmen who let their wishes and opinions be known. Acting together, they have developed great power over their own lives, and they deeply affect the life of the country as a whole. When you speak of American Labor, then, you mean organized working men and women. You mean the unions. Unions are not made up of any one particular sort of person; almost every type of American is repre sented in their ranks. There are college graduates and people who have never learned to read. There are Negroes and Chinese. There are members of the country's proudest families, and people whose parents never took a bath in winter. There are also men of sound judgment, and fools. There are savage fighters and smooth diplomats. There are those who will gladly lay down their lives for a cause and those who will betray any party or any person for power or money. There are those who see ahead with clear eyes and those who follow blindly after the man of the hour. In the conventions that order Labor's affairs, the man who digs ditches sits down between the clerk who spends his days juggling columns of figures and the skilled machinist to whom a hair's thickness is greater than the difference between a good job and a bad one. And as these men are different in their work, they are different in their lives and in the problems they have to face. So you cannot say that Labor is this kind of person, or that kind. Labor is Americans, organized to act and think together. 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 American Workman Emile Levasscur, the author of the "American Workman," is a sincere and earnest man. The position he has occupied for more than a generation in the learned circles of Europe he owes not alone to his industry, knowledge and faculty for expression, but to a penetrating intellect and an unusual quality of final judgment of principles and events. It is valuable to have the vast material embraced in the present study pass through the mind of such a man, and to have his pronouncements upon the important questions raised. It will be found that he has brought to the task an admirable understanding of America and sympathy with it. His comprehensive knowledge of the past and of cotemporary conditions elsewhere and his long experience as a leader of thought in his own country enable him to give to the subject a proper perspective. Moreover the tribute he pays to American ingenuity and progress comes with better grace from him and bears a stamp of greater impartiality than if emanating from one of our own citizens. The translator, Thomas S. Adams, is a thoroughly trained economist. His work has been faithfully and ably done. Added value has been given the study by the degree to which Mr. Adams has enlarged the statistics. So far as possible all statistics have been brought down to date. Where the early figures had no particular significance, they were simply replaced by later ones. In other cases a new note has been added or an old one expanded. The additions of the translator are noted thus: [Tr.] Professor Richard T. Ely brings to the attention of the editor the fact that his "Labor Movement in America" referred to by Professor Levasseur was written nearly fifteen years ago, that not merely have conditions changed since then, but that he has modified somewhat the opinions expressed therein.
