Gilman, N. P. Methods of industrial peace. [**]$1.60. Houghton.
This book will be gladly received by the student of social movements, as there is increasing demand for new works upon the “labor question,” due to the rapid growth of knowledge thru investigation, and the steady change in facts and phases of the question itself. “The book takes an Anglo-Saxon point of view, since it draws almost as much upon English as upon American experience, besides making considerable reference to Australian and New Zealand developments. It undertakes a good deal more than a discussion of the special machinery designed to further industrial peace, giving a brief but concise statement of the chief facts incidental to the history and present position of trade unionism. [Then the author shows the necessity for the efficient organization of both employers and employed, discusses the “sliding scale,” raises the question of the legal constitution and liability of trade unions.] ... The ensuing chapters deal at some length with the aims and methods of unions, their conduct of strikes and boycotts, and the place borne by the public in relation to their actions. The remainder of the book is given to a general account of trade boards of conciliation, state boards of arbitration, and the methods of legal regulation in force in New Zealand.” (Int. J. Ethics).
“The treatment is characterized by insight, sobriety, and accurate learning.” C. R. Henderson.
