A discussion based upon two series of letters. “The letters from labor leaders, in answering the question put to them, ‘What do workingmen want?’ state the commoner demands of labor for shorter hours, increased wages, and improved conditions, and embrace such concrete suggestions as postal savings tanks, government ownership and control, state board of arbitration, restriction of immigration, the closed shop, and protection of women and children. Employers demand loyalty, freedom in management of affairs, the open shop, a ‘fair’ day’s work for ‘fair’ wages, and respect for law and contract agreements. The author’s comment upon these demands is entirely sympathetic. In a final chapter entitled ‘Would socialism do?’ he expresses the opinion that it would not.” (J. Pol. Econ.)
