Excerpt from The Law of the Employment of Labor A recognized pressing need of the social organization is the securing of safe and wholesome conditions of work and an ad justment of the relations of employer and employed in the light of their mutual and reciprocal rights and interests, so that there shall be neither undue advantages nor undue burdens on either side. It is not many years since such legal provision as existed was embodied solely in the common law, that body of customs and adjudications that had come to have the sanction of the courts of England and America to such an extent that it became a clog to any progressive adjustment of law to changing eco nomic conditions. Clearly a policy shaped in the days of the hand loom and forge and transportation by horse power could poorly provide for the needs of industry to - day. The common law reduced to a codified form is printed as an appendix to this volume, and sufficient evidence of its inadequacy is afforded if this code is compared with the scores of statutes compiled in the fifteen-hundred-page volume of labor laws, forming the Twenty second Annual Report of the United States Commissioner of Labor, presenting the enactments of the legislatures of the various states in their attempt to prescribe the respective rights and duties and to safeguard the physical and economic interests of the parties to the labor contract. There is a feeling, only too well founded, that, despite legislation, the dead hand of outgrown doctrines of the common law restrains the courts in their con struction of statutes; but that there is encouraging advance in this respect cannot be gainsaid.

Excerpt from The Relation of Labor to the Law of Today The fact that we must go to Germany for the best account of English trades unions, which is contained in Dr. Brentano's "Labor Guilds of the Present," of which this work, as to quantity of matter, is an abridgment, as to extent of ground covered, an enlargement, may at first thought cause surprise. This fact is not owing wholly or mainly to the German habit of research. It has a deeper cause. The classical political economy of England, prevalent also in this country, has been built up almost exclusively on the side of capital and the capitalist, and is full of theories and assumptions. Writers who have worked upon the structure have been mainly bankers, capitalists, or doctrinaire professors. This accounts for its capitalistic and theoretical character. In this country we have produced as yet few or no original investigators in the economic field. "With few exceptions the works produced in the United States have been prepared as text-books by authors engaged in college instruction, and therefore chiefly interested in bringing principles previously worked out by English authors within the easy comprehension of undergraduate students."

Excerpt from Principles of Labor Legislation The work is intended to be both critical and constructive critical in that it points out the good and bad features of the statutes, constructive in that it shows how, in the light of experience, the good is being strengthened and the bad remedied. Finally, it is in full recognition that a law is really a law only to the extent to which it is enforced that each chapter emphasizes efficient administration and that the closing chapter is entirely devoted to this complex and all important problem.
