Présentation de l'éditeur
The history of labor laws and strikes has this in common to both laws become dead letters; the victories of strikes are nibbled away. Too much was expected even of those preparatory labor laws, imiversal suffrage and universal education. Amateur faith in laws and strikes weakens with experience. A law creates an abstract right an empty ideal. A strike may be a burst of enthusiasm, then disorganization. Some philosophizers fall back on the individuals moral character. Little, they think, can be done by law or imions. There are others who inquire how to draft and enforce the laws, how to keep the winnings of strikes in short, how to connect ideals with efficiency. These are the awakening questions of the past decade, and the subject of this book. Attention is shifting from laws to the means of enforcing them from strikes to the unions that safeguard the gains from the rights of labor to the protection of its rights. Here is a field for the student and economist not the friend of labor who paints an abstract workingman, but the utilitarian idealist, who sees them all as they are; not the curious collector of facts and statistics, but the one who measures the facts and builds them into a foundation and structure.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
