State Activities in Relation to Labor in the United States (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from State Activities in Relation to Labor in the United States
It is a matter of interest to students both of economics and politics to trace the widening sphere of action of the American States in relation to labor. Something over ten years ago I had occasion, in a paper read before the Ameri can Historical Association,' to call attention to the fact that, whatever might be the general decline in importance of the individual commonwealths of our Union, a very great extension of their activities had taken place since the Civil War in respect to matters relating to the economic interests of their citizens. This intervention, as was then shown, was not in the way of the direct performance or even the promotion of works of public interest, but rather in the creation of boards, bureaus and commissions, having for their purpose, either the investigation and publication of economic conditions, as is done, for instance, by boards of agriculture, geological surveys, and bureaus Of statistics of labor, or the supervision of particular lines of industry, such as banking, insurance, transportation, and factory and mine work.
