Excerpt from Industry and Humanity: A Study in the Principles Underlying Industrial Reconstruction I am indebted to the Rockefeller Foundation for the opportunity which has made possible the writing of this book. When I was invited by the Foundation, in June, 1914, to undertake a study of industrial relations, it was expected that I would visit different countries, make first-hand investigations, and, as a result of these inquiries, offer constructive suggestions concerning industrial and social. The War not only prevented me from studies abroad, but so completely changed the industrial situation in all countries that I was compelled to modify my plans considerably. Hopeful of being constructively helpful, notwithstanding changed conditions, I decided to make a personal investigation into the root causes of some of the existing industrial controversies in America, and to contribute, by suggestion or otherwise, as opportunity offered, to working out improvements in the relations between Capital and Labor.
