Book Description
Excerpt from Industrial Peace, Vol. 5 The story of the growth of notions is the history of invention - a force which stands between the diminishing fertility of land and the demands of a people increasing in number and in variety and complexity of wants. Since the day of the master craftsman and the "open field" cultivation of the land, the evolution of industry - or the growth of invention and organisation - has proceeded at an ever-accelerating speed. In the era between the Napoleonic and Franco-Prussian wars it is roughly true to say that Britain was the sole great exporting country of manufactures in the world. The inventions of the latter quarter of the 18th century which paved the way to the Industrial Revolution" of the early 19th century, Watt's steam engine, Roebuck's iron-smelting and Coil's puddling and rolling processes, the spinning and weaving invent ions of Hargreaves, Crompton, Arkwright, Cartwright, and others, followed one another in rapid succession, and, coupled with the immense transport facilities brought about by the const nut ion of Brindley's canals, enabled England to build up vast trade connections before the rest of Europe had awakened to a realisation of the advantages of power over hand-driven machinery. By 1820 modern industry and the life of the great city was an integral part of our national life, whereas in France in that year it is recorded that there were just sixty-five steam-driven engines at work. Such progress as we then made was rightly termed "industrial revolution." At a single bound we left our rivals in trade and industry hopelessly out-distanced, and then, like the hare of AEsop's fable, fell asleep, profoundly convinced that we had nothing to learn or to fear from the slow-going tortoise. Continuous Evolution of the Mechanism of Foreign Trade. But the process of evolution has not slackened in its course. The means of rapid communication of the present age make it difficult for any nation to reap material benefit from the monopoly value of its own discoveries.

Book Description
Excerpt from Industrial Peace, 1922, Vol. 10 There appears at first sight to be considerable justification for the policy now being pursued by local authorities. Never theless. It is fundamentally wrong. We do not desire to suggest that public bodies should not economise in the sense of adjusting wages and salaries in such a way as to secure comparative equity, nor do we criticise their endeavour to get rid of surplus labour. Such economies are always de sirable - and necessary. But to economise in the sense of refraining from incurring expenditure to secure things which are in themselves desirable is to make confusion worse con founded. If, two years ago, when everybody was fully employed, it was the duty of every individual and public authority to economise in the sense of standing aside in order that labour might be concentrated on essential and urgent services, it obviously cannot be their duty to do so now, when labour is seeking employment. Public authorities should dovetail their demands into those of private businesses. And in this way stabilise employment. If they wait until wages and costs reach 'rock bottom they will wait till Doomsday. If, however. They now step into the market for labour and capital the effect will be to assist in creating precisely that stability for which they are waiting. The point calls for elaboration. A local authority has hitherto accepted no obligation in respect of people living beyond its own boundary. And if it 'created work it would be in the interests of its own inhabitants. But in most cases the effect of its action would be to create employment else where. And the effect outside its own boundaries calls for emphasis. If. For example, Liverpool decided to extend its tramway system, not only would it give employment to many unskilled workers in Liverpool, but it would place orders forrails. Trams and materials to factories on the north-east coast and in other places. If all municipalities did likewise the result would be a real revival of trade in the steel and other industries. If all municipalities decided now to make up the leeway due to the war and its consequences we should witness a considerable improvement of trade throughout the country for that period which is likely to be required before embarking upon a scheme for the reconstruction of Europe. It is. There fore. The clear duty of public authorities to follow a policv 0! This character. Which would not only lessen the intensity of the depression but also tend to modify the boom bv which it will be followed.

Book Description
Excerpt from Terms of Industrial Peace The labour question is one of those which in some form or other is constantly, and not always pleasantly, being brought to our notice. The relations between Capital and Labour, and the effect which they will presently have upon our productive power as an industrial people, have recently been considerably discussed. In the following pages I have attempted to state the case fairly, as one who has seen both sides of the problem, and to outline a scheme whereby the two contending elements may be brought together. The discussion is brief, and much more could be said, but an engineer who controls labour employed upon munitions is much too busy at the moment to do more than sketch his ideas, even though the subject be of such supreme importance and the problems involved those with which he is daily coming into contact. In writing this book I have made a very sincere attempt to approach the subject from a strictly neutral standpoint; with the result, doubtless, that I shall be told by some of my labour friends that the proposals do not go far enough, and by some employers that they go much further than is desirable.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Quest of Industrial Peace The chapters of this book are the record of an inquiry into the elements of the ever-recurrent industrial strife, and of their action and re action on each other. An analysis of the contentions so decisively in conflict is followed by a brief exposition of the chief social and industrial adventures of the past. Then there is a statement and a criticism of the theories and proposals so eagerly advocated to-day. An endeavour has been made to exhibit the complex problems and the involved issues, moral and psychological, economic and political, which have foiled the enthusiastic idealists of the past, and are preventing the assent of the more thoughtful minds of the present day. The two closing chapters engross a message and a method, stated in the briefest possible way, which seem to the writer to point out the only path of industrial peace for those who are sincerely willing to seek it.

Book Description
Excerpt from Methods of Industrial Peace There is a surprising lack of books in the English language on the vital matter Of industrial peace. Four or five small volumes, the latest now ten years old, exhaust the list. I have embraced the opportunity thus Offered to treat the subject more comprehensively than has yet been done, and to bring the treatment down to the present year. Discussions of such matters have been rendered more profitable by the recent introduction of the term collective bargaining and by the discrimination of mediation, conciliation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Industrial Peace, 1921, Vol. 9 Tits reluctance of private employers and the employing departments of municipalities to submit their demands for wages reductions to arbitration has excited considerable comment. And not a little adverse criticism. It is held that during the war and the transitional period which followed the armistice. Organised labour, at that time strong and aware of its strength. Consented to the settlement of its claims by the Committee on Production and the Industrial Court of Arbitration which followed it. It is therefore but right (we are told) that now, when the tide has turned and the economic power of labour has been enormously reduced, the employers should agree to the determination of wage changes by a similar impartial tribunal. But an examination of the facts of the case will show that the analogy is false. And that in refusing to employ the method of arbitration employers are by no means inconsistent. It is not, indeed. Too much to say that they are but pursuing the policy which organised labour itself approves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Industrial Peace, Vol. 1 The object of these pages is to contribute towards the maintenance of Industrial Peace. We believe that the spread of Syndicalism and the fomenting of class-antagonism is harmful to Labour as well as to Capital. We are convinced that the common national interest can best be served by the establishment of some form of cc-operation between Labour, Management and Finance, which will enable this country to maintain her position as a Great Power, whilst securing a decent and prosperous standard of living to the workers, who, we strongly hold, have an inherent right to be safeguarded against all preventable poverty, unemploy ment and exploitation.
