Présentation de l'éditeur

Elements of the Labor Problem. The old fable The Blind Men and the Elephant points a lesson applicable to the subject under discussion. Six blind men of Hindostan agreed to describe the shape of an elephant from the impressions gained by touching him. The first came in contact with the elephants broad, sturdy side, and was sure he was very like a wall. The second felt his tusk, and thought him like a spear. The third grasped him by the trunk and declared he was like a snake. The fourth got hold of his knee and therefore imagined he was like a tree. The fifth touched his ear and claimed that he was built tike a fan; while the sixth seized his tail and was convinced he was shaped like a rope. Then the six blind men, each according to his own impression, sharply disputed with one another the elephant's shape, and each was partly in the right and all were in the wrong. In similar manner we are too prone to view many problems from our own particular angle and to consider them to be like that small part with which we are intimately familiar. With this thought in mind I shall endeavor to outline the Labor Problem as a whole, separate it into its chief elements, and show their relation to each other, so that, as men who can see, we may view the problem both in its component parts and in its entirety.
