A Living Wage (Classic Reprint) by John A. Ryan Pdf

Excerpt from A Living Wage The present volume is little more than half as large as the first edition Of this work. The first two chapters Of the original edition have been almost entirely omitted because part Of the subject matter is no longer as timely as it was in 1906, while the remainder is not absolutely essential. For similar reasons the seven chapters forming the third section Of the work as it first appeared, have been left out Of the present edition. In the ten chapters that have been retained, a few changes have been made, either for the sake Of brevity or in order to bring certain statistical and other statements up to date. In its revised and abridged form, the work is intended primarily for those who wish to Obtain a compre hensive idea of the subject in the smallest possible compass. The writer hopes that it will be found to contain nothing superfluous, and yet to embrace everything that the average reader cares to know concerning the ethical, economic and legal aspects Of the living wage question.

The Living Wage (Classic Reprint) by Philip Snowden Pdf

Excerpt from The Living Wage Mr. Philip Snowden has given us, in his contribution to a series which I have the honour to edit, a very vital and illuminating contribution to a great controversy of the day. His essay is wide in its outlook, clear in its reasoning, cogent in its conclusions. It cannot fail to produce a great effect on public opinion at a formative period in this great debata. The demand for a "living wage" - for a fixed limit, below which in any trade or employment sheer competition shall not drive the earnings of tho working man or woman - is the direct result of the human experience of the last hundred years. For it is now almost a century since Great Britain turned its back on the principle of fixing wages by law. Led by the economic thinkers of the early nineteenth century - who reflected the needs of a time which required, above all things, a plentiful supply of labour free, fluid and cheap - our grandfathers rushed to repeal every check in the power of the open market to give to every labourer his price. Human labour - so they preached-differed in no way from any other human commodity. Its price should be governed About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Living Wage (Adult Males), 1918 (Classic Reprint) by New South Wales; Board of Trade Pdf

Excerpt from Living Wage (Adult Males), 1918 The fixation of the living wage in New South Wales is, by section 79 of the Industrial Arbitration Act, 1912, as amended, committed to the New South Wales Board of Trade. The terms of the section are as follows: - "79. (1) The Board of Trade shall, from year to year, after public inquiry as to the increase or decrease in the average cost of living, declare what shall be the living wages to be paid to adult male employees and to adult female employees in the State or any defined area thereof. In declaring such living wages, the Board of Trade shall make a separate public inquiry into the cost of living of employees engaged in rural occupations, and shall make a separate declaration as to the living wages to be paid to such employees, and shall declare what deductions may be made from such wages for board or residence or board and residence, and for any customary privileges or payments in kind conceded to or made to such employees. "(2) No industrial agreement shall be entered into and no award made for wages lower than such living wages. "(3) Any aged, infirm, or slow worker engaged in any rural occupation who may deem himself unable to earn the living wages declared by the Board of Trade may apply to the Registrar or to any person appointed by such Board for a permit in writing to work for less than the living wage. Copies of all such permits shall be forwarded to the Registrar, who may at any time cancel or amend the same." The living wage had been previously fixed in 1914 by his Honor Mr. Justice Heydon, K.C., exercising the jurisdiction of Judge of Industrial Arbitration, and in 1915 and 1916 by the same Judge in conjunction with Mr. Justice Edmunds.

The Sanction for a Living Wage by William Jett Lauck Pdf

Excerpt from The Sanction for a Living Wage: A Compilation of Data From Official and Authoritative Sources Absolute control Of the health of the individual can never be the function of the State. Control of the conditions under which the lives of the people shall be lived and their energies expended is an inevitable necessity. The State will approach this problem from the standpoint of self-preservation. Defective health is the tounda tion of crime, pauperism and degeneracy, as well as that widespread inefficiency due to Obvious disease.

The Living Wage of Women Workers by Louise Marion Bosworth Pdf

Excerpt from The Living Wage of Women Workers: A Study of Incomes and Expenditures of 450 Women in the City of Boston The question of the living wage for the woman worker is hardly touched at all in the existing literature of work and wages. There are numerous studies of women's work, but they do not deal with the living wage; there are also various treatises on the latter subject, but they do not discuss it with reference to women workers. The need of definite information on the cost of living for the wage-earning woman is a real one. A few years ago a group of working women, in making a demand upon their employer for higher wages, declared, We cannot live on what we earn. The employer inquired, Then what wages can you live on? No one of the women could answer the question definitely or in any other way than by an estimate of her own individual needs. In general, the employer who wishes to pay a living wage to his women employes cannot tell what the amount should be. The determination of standards of expenditure and remuneration for women is thus a matter not merely of academic interest, but really of practical importance.
