Papers and Addresses on Phases of the Labor Problem (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers and Addresses on Phases of the Labor Problem The papers presented in this booklet are here reprinted to supply a demand for them in this form that has come up since their original appearance in the various publications to which they are credited. In a number of cases, where no credit it given, the pamphlet in which the matter originally appeared was printed for the information of students of the labor problem who were making inquiry into certain of its phases. The original supply having become exhausted, and the demand continuing, a number of the pamphlets formerly issued are herewith reprinted. There are two papers herein contained which are given by permission of the publishers of Bob Taylor's Magazine, of Nashville, Tenn., a new and live candidate for public favor, and one paper from The Century Magazine, reproduced by permission of the Century Company. The subjects here treated are among those engaging the attention of thoughtful, practical and patriotic men and women everywhere. The sole wish of the author is to contribute, in ever so slight a manner, to the solution of the problems studied. In addition to the papers and addresses contained in the present volume the author has the following, and can still supply on request a few copies of those marked with an asterisk: Plans of Conciliation and Arbitration, Together with a Plea for the Organization of the Employer Class as a Prerequisite.
