Six Days or Forever? Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes
Labor in a Massachusetts Cotton Mill, 1853–60
Skilled textile workers migrated from Scotland to Massachusetts in the 1850's because of a large wage differential and low steerage rates for the transatlantic passage. For each one of 56 women weavers in the Lyman Mills, expenditures on current consumption took less than 75 per cent of income. But the circumstances were unusual, so this sample does not permit any conclusions about the role of wage-earners' savings in the accumulation of capital …
The American-Hawaiian Steamship Company, 1899–1919
At a time when American shipping generally was finding it difficult to compete in international trade, certain American shipping groups were profiting largely. The strength of the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company derived from conservative financial policy, bold but not reckless expansion, astute analysis of trading opportunities, skillful handling of competition, and decisive adaptation to emergencies. A closely knit group of owner-managers he…

Company-Sponsored Welfare Plans in the Anthracite Industry before 1900
A recent survey by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce reported that so-called “fringe benefits” are now taking 16.4 per cent of the payrolls of American industry as a whole. Probably the best-known of these welfare programs is the United Mine Workers Welfare and Retirement Fund, which was started in May, 1946, by agreement between the union and the Department of the Interior, then operating the mines, and which was accepted by the operators when the i…

The Idea of Process in American Social Thought
THE sciences which are in any peculiar sense modern, said Thorstein Veblen in 1908, take as an (unavowed) postulate the fact of consecutive change.... This notion of process about which the researches of modern science cluster, is a notion of a sequence, or complex, of consecutive change in which the nexus of the sequence . . . is the relation of cause and effect. The consecution, moreover, runs in terms of persistence of quantity or of force.1 J…
