Book Description
Excerpt from The Woman Worker and the Trade Unions There is only a very small proportion Of working women in the trade unions of the United States. Of some eight and a half million women in industry, a very small percentage either use the union as their economic weapon or are benefited by it. Why is it that women workers who have been in industry fully as long a time as their brothers, though not in as great numbers, are not organised economically? Are they incapable Of being organised? Have women inherent characteristics which make them unamenable to the discipline Of the organised group? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Trade Union Woman This brief account of trade unionism in relation to the working-women of the United States has been written to furnish a handbook of the subject, and to supply in convenient form answers to the questions that are daily put to the writer and to all others who feel the organization of women to be a vital issue. To treat the subject exhaustively would be impossible without years of research, but meanwhile it seemed well to furnish this short popular account of an important movement, in order to satisfy the eager desire for information regarding the working-woman, and her attitude towards the modern labor movement, and towards the national industries in regard to which she plays so essential a part. Women are doing their share of their country's work under entirely novel conditions, and it therefore becomes a national responsibility to see that the human worker is not sacrificed to the material product. Many of the difficulties and dangers surrounding the working-woman affect the workingman also, but on the other hand, there are special reasons, springing out of the ancestral claims which life makes upon woman, arising also out of her domestic and social environment, and again out of her special function as mother, why the condition of the wage-earning woman should be the subject of separate consideration. It is impossible to discuss intelligently wages, hours and sanitation in reference to women workers unless these facts are borne in mind.

Here Comes Labor (Classic Reprint)

Pages : 130
Book Description
Excerpt from Here Comes Labor There are about fifty million men and women in this country who work - or would like to work - for wages. They do not employ others; they are not mem bers of the professions. No doubt they are workers, but one cannot say what the whole mass of them wants, or where they are going, or what they are try ing to do. They have never gotten together and de cided on these things. They have no one to speak for them, or to lead them; they have no way of planning and acting together as a whole group to help make the life of each individual better. So it is only the workers organized in labor unions who can be counted as a force in this country. Theyhave spokesmen who let their wishes and opinions be known. Acting together, they have developed great power over their own lives, and they deeply affect the life of the country as a whole. When you speak of American Labor, then, you mean organized working men and women. You mean the unions. Unions are not made up of any one particular sort of person; almost every type of American is repre sented in their ranks. There are college graduates and people who have never learned to read. There are Negroes and Chinese. There are members of the country's proudest families, and people whose parents never took a bath in winter. There are also men of sound judgment, and fools. There are savage fighters and smooth diplomats. There are those who will gladly lay down their lives for a cause and those who will betray any party or any person for power or money. There are those who see ahead with clear eyes and those who follow blindly after the man of the hour. In the conventions that order Labor's affairs, the man who digs ditches sits down between the clerk who spends his days juggling columns of figures and the skilled machinist to whom a hair's thickness is greater than the difference between a good job and a bad one. And as these men are different in their work, they are different in their lives and in the problems they have to face. So you cannot say that Labor is this kind of person, or that kind. Labor is Americans, organized to act and think together. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Philosophy of the Labor Movement See that man-with ragged clothes and filthy face, his hair uncombed, just enough of his boots left to hold them together. As he walks your streets, he looks ready to go to pieces all at once, like the deacon's one-horse shay. Put some new shoes on his feet he begins to see the need of new trousers to go with them; then a new vest, a new coat, and a clean face. Then he goes home; his wife and children need new clothes, too, he thinks. Thenihis house must be re paired; there must be a carpet on the floor, a table in the room, and by-andtby, when months, perhaps years, of such reform have gone on, 'he will come home some night with the Herald or Times. Then his taste for reading will begin. He won't read Charles Sumner's speeches at first; more likely the doings of the Police Court. But he will have begun the habit of reading. SO we might *follow him through a long life Of such gradual improvement. Well, that is education, broad and substantial; the natural, logical way to abolish ignorance and its at tendant evils, such as intemperance and prostitution. It is precisely the education which forms the grand base of this whole theory of increasing wages by rais ing to a higher level the habits of the people, creat ing in them new wants, enabling them to secure new comforts. Am I not right, then, in claiming this as the educational phase of the labor movement, and in summoning to its support the men and women whose minds are broad enough to see, andwhose hearts are warm enough to feel, that this is the edu cation which the world needs Had I ten thousand tongues, each one gifted with the eloquence of o'connell, they should all say, Improve the habits Of the masses, that they may be dearer laborers and better consumers; that thus, by naturally increasing wages and production, amore equitable distribution of wealth may be attained.
