“The best and most scholarly presentation of the subject that has yet fallen into my hands. It gave me an insight into the situation, for which I longed but to which I could not find any access.”--_Professor Jacques Loeb._ “You certainly give a wonderful insight into Socialism as it is and getting to be--and it is an insight that every citizen ought to have.”--_Professor John R. Commons._ “I have been reading your book with great interest. The great contribution, it seems to me, is the clear contrast between State Socialism and revolutionary socialism.”--_Professor Simon N.

The argument is that the existing social system will soon be changed and that the courts have become political and not judicial.”--_Pittsburgh Post._ “No one interested in either history or politics can afford to neglect Mr. Adams’ views.”--_Newark Evening News._ “... no more fascinating study of a topic so grave is often printed.”--_New York World._ “... there has not appeared in recent years so calm and determined an attack upon judicial legislation.”--_La Follette’s Magazine._ “A very stimulating study.”--_Review of Reviews._ _Labor and Administration_ BY JOHN R. COMMONS PROFESSOR OF POLITICAL ECONOMY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN _Cloth, 12mo, $1.60 net_ The history of labor laws and strikes has this in common to both--laws become dead letters; the victories of strikes are nibbled away. Some philosophers fall back on the individual’s moral character. Little, they think, can be done by law or unions. There are others who inquire how to draft and enforce the laws, how to keep the winnings of strikes--in short, how to connect ideals with efficiency. These are the awakening questions of the past decade, and the subject of this book. Here is a field for the student and economist--not the “friend of labor” who paints an abstract working-man, but the utilitarian idealist, who sees them all as they are; not the curious collector of facts and statistics but the one who measures the facts and builds them into a foundation and structure. His constructive problem is not so much the law and its abstract rights, as administration and its concrete results.
