Industrial Government - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

We visited some thirty establishments from July to 1S eptember, 1919, and Wisconsin to Maine. We pre Vpared by studying industrial government in books, papers and pamphlets from Russia to A ustralia. We selected as large variety of types that had successful ic) experience as we could find. America has examples of every kind, from industrial autocracy to the farthest left wing of revolutionary democracy. We specialized somewhat and had different points of view, which accounts for differences noticeable in the I nferences. One of us took constitutional government in industry; another took the employers jscheme of management; another the wage-earner s Jscheme of democracy; another the procedure in setf tling grievances; another shop representation of em ployees. We spent from one to five days together in each establishment, with the managers and with the employees. Individuals followed up with separate inquiries, in one case spending two months at one place. The four Wisconsin manufacturers, Messrs. F. J. Sensenbrenner, M. O. Wertheimer, D. E. Everest, and Judson Rosebush, who financed the bulk of our traveling expenses, and Maj. E. A. Fitzpatrick, of the State Board of Education, who aided us greatly, wished to know the best practice in dealings with labor that the country affords.
