Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Adjustment of Wages: A Study in the Coal and Iron Industries of Great Britain and America
I regret that I have been able to give so small a proportionate amount of my space to the iron and steel trades. It was the limitation of my time and the absorbing and immediate interest of the coal situation, both in Great Britain and in the United States, which made me pass so hastily over the iron industry. But that industry presents features of its own which need thorough and systematic examination. Meanwhile the appended documents will supplement to some extent the one brief lecture on the subject.
