“If a general criticism might be ventured on the whole book, it would be that too much ground has been covered and that in consequence too little intensity of treatment is shown. On the other hand, the author exhibits an admirable breadth of view and impartiality which must appeal to all readers.” James T. Young.

“The chief value of the book will be the statement, dispassionate, and in clear form, of the main facts of the case and of the principles in accordance with which industrial organization would appear to be moving. Mr. Gilman has traveled over so much ground that he has at times become a little sketchy in his treatment. Description rather than economic analysis is the strong point of the book. In a subject so far reaching, however, it is perhaps unfair to expect more than a broad presentation of the material which will enable others to formulate particular problems and to attempt independent judgments. This Mr. Gilman has done in a manner so interesting as to command the gratitude of all interested in current labor problems.” C. J. Hamilton.

“Upon the whole, however, the book is of value. In spite of its inaccuracies and occasional unfairness, it contains much information presented in a readable way, with many references to secondary and some to primary sources. It must also be said that he has generalized too broadly on insufficient evidence, and has been influenced too much by his prepossession for state regulation to give an unbiased interpretation of the strivings of the leaders of employers and of employes towards satisfactory methods of industrial peace.”
