A Collection of Decisions Presenting Principles of Wage Settlement

By Herbert Feis

"A Collection of Decisions Presenting Principles of Wage Settlement" is a comprehensive examination of the judicial and administrative foundations that govern labor compensation and industrial harmony. Compiled by the distinguished economist Herbert Feis, this work serves as a foundational sourcebook for understanding the complex mechanisms of wage determination during a transformative era in American labor relations. The volume brings together a series of significant decisions and rulings, distilling the underlying economic and legal principles used by boards and tribunals to resolve disputes between employers and employees.

Throughout the collection, Feis provides a structured analysis of how factors such as the cost of living, standard of living, and the economic capacity of industries influence wage adjustments. By organizing these cases around core principles, the book offers a systematic approach to the challenges of collective bargaining and industrial arbitration. It remains a vital resource for students of economic history, labor law, and social policy, offering a clear window into the development of modern industrial standards and the quest for equitable labor practices. This scholarly compilation highlights the evolving relationship between labor, capital, and the state in the early 20th century.
