how to keep the winnings of strikes--in short, how to connect ideals with efficiency.

These are the awakening questions of the past decade, and the subject of this book. Here is a field for the student and economist--not the "friend of labor" who paints an abstract working-man, but the utilitarian idealist, who sees them all as they are; not the curious collector of facts and statistics but the one who measures the facts and builds them into a foundation and structure. His constructive problem is not so much the law and its abstract rights, as administration and its concrete results.

Transcriber's Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed. Some apparent errors are noted below.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

Page 72: "graneries" was printed that way.

Page 76: "watchward" was printed that way.

Page 158: "seige" was printed that way.

Page 262: "Berkely" was printed that way; may be a reference to the Irish philosopher George "Berkeley."

Footnotes, originally at the bottoms of pages, have been collected, sequentially renumbered, and repositioned after the main text of the book, just before the advertisements.
