Employes’ Representation in Steel Works

With a foreword by Mary Van Kleeck. Part of the Industrial Relations Series, a series by the Department of Industrial Studies of the Russell Sage Foundation investigating early twentieth-century experiments in the organization of relations between employers and employees in industrial enterprises in the United States. How a company, which operated more than twenty bituminous coal mines, a large steel works, and a railroad in Colorado, undertook to organize its relations with its workers by instituting a plan of “employes’ representation” is the subject of two studies, one on coal mines and one on steel works.
