Twelve papers by graduate students and officers of Johns Hopkins University, the results of original investigations of representative trade-unions. There are also chapters on Employers’ Associations, the Knights of Labor, and the American Federation of Labor.
“Though confined to particular features of particular trade-unions, the data dealt with are comprehensive and typical; so that the result is a substantial contribution to our knowledge of trade-union structure and functions.... Excellent studies.”—New York Evening Post.
The Labor Movement in Australasia
By Dr. VICTOR S. CLARK of the Carnegie Institute, Washington. 327 pp. $1.50 net. By mail, $1.63
A book written in a simple, untechnical, and very impartial fashion, and one that is full of very valuable suggestions affecting our own labor troubles.
“ ... Useful and timely.... Mr. Clark will perhaps disappoint alike the extreme radicals who regard Australasia as a workmen’s paradise and grow enthusiastic over the progress made there by socialism, and those other extremists who like to be told that Australasia is doomed to bankruptcy and famine and demoralization as the result of socialism and the violation of ‘natural law’. He writes judiciously and fairly, and indulges in no extravagant prophecies of either sort.... The book is very valuable for its facts and the impartiality with which they, and the conditions to which they are due, are presented.”—Chicago Evening Post.
“Not being a doctrinaire, he has much of value to say.”—Chicago Record-Herald.
