Excerpt from Labor and DemocracyIn this little volume the author has endeavored to dis cuss in plain and concise language the relations between government and modern industrial conditions, to point out some of the dangers to democratic institutions inherent in the present labor movement, to carefully appraise the rights of labor, of capital and Of the public, to suggest legal principles upon which remedial legislation may be based and brie¿y to give the first results of an experiment in adjudicating industrial disputes. No attempt is made to exalt the Kansas Industrial Act, but on the contrary the analysis of that Act as found in these pages is intended only to describe an experiment which is being made by government to function in the preservation of thepublic peace, the protection of the public health, and the promo tion of the public welfare. The Kansas Industrial Law is an experiment in government and is not intended as a solution of a problem in sociology. It is based upon the idea that a duty rests upon government, to protect the general public from the evils of industrial warfare as well as from the evils of internecine strife or foreign invasion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
