Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pittsburgh Survey, Vol. 1 of 6 Bound by a hundred ties to the dramatic story of the Pittsburgh people, this inquiry is, nevertheless, of more than local significance. Steel is a basic industry in America. It has been a beneficiary of the most fiercely contested governmental policies since Civil War times. Its products enter into every tool and structure and means of traffic in civilization. By the side of half a hundred mill sites along the Ohio and its tributaries, at our newest lake ports and above the old mineral beds of the Superior Basin; in the sun-baked Southwest, in the mountain valleys of the New South, and, by anticipation, in the ore regions of Alaska, what men may earn by digging, reducing, rolling, and fabricating this master metal, what leisure and resource they may gain in the process of it all, set the standards of life for hundreds of communities. A constructive statesmanship demands that Americans look well to what those standards tend to become for so numerous and vital an element in the population. Moreover, the largest employer of steel workers in Pittsburgh is the largest employer of steel workers in the country as a whole; and the largest employer of labor in America today. That employer is in the saddle. So far as the mills and the shifts that man them go, the steel operators possess what many another manager and industrial president has hankered after and has been denied-untrammeled control. What has this exceptional employer done with this exceptional control over the human forces of production? Here our findings state concretely the problems of an industrial democracy in ways which cannot be lightly thrust aside. Such a social interpretation of steel making could not but bulk large in the scheme of the Pittsburgh Survey.
