Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in American Trade Unionism During the past few years, the labor problem has risen steadily in relative importance in the United States, until at the present time, it may not unfairly be described as the dominant economic concern of the American people. In part this is the consequence of a temporary lull in other storm centres. The currency has been narrowly rescued from acute malignancy only to be cheerfully consigned to chronic indisposition. The tariff has passed from an economic issue to a fiscal device. The control of industrial combinations and the regulation of railroad rates are still in the outer vestibule of loose thinking and careless talking. But much more than the lessening interest of other problems, it has, of course, been the increasing intrinsic importance of the labor question that really explains the present popular absorption in the subject. The marvellous industrial expansion of the United States in the past decade has been accompanied by a notable change in the quality of the productive factors. Labor, as an industrial agent, no less than capital, has become almost a new thing under an old name. The familiar problems of the labor world have taken on a more intense phase, and a whole array of new questions challenge attention. Of these labor problems, trade unionism is far and away the most important. Broadly understood, American trade unionism is the American labor problem; and, in a narrow acceptation, trade-union policy and practice impinge at some point or other upon such specific social problems as immigration, child-labor, employers´ liability, and methods of industrial remuneration.
