I am speaking in general. It is true that the history of cases settled
by arbitration reveals many in which the “umpire” has insisted that
negotiations continue until the real coincident interest of both sides

Footnote 43:
It has long been known in England and America but recently it has been
spreading rapidly.
Footnote 44:

The three firms which have carried co-management furthest are the
Printz-Biederman Co. of Cleveland, the Wm. Filene’s Sons Co. of Boston
and the U. S. Cartridge Co. of Lowell. See Report of Committee on
Vocational Guidance, Fourth Annual Convention of National Association
of Corporation Schools, by Henry C. Metcalf.

a whole work-room, and thus every one in the room has to suffer for
the laziness of one. (See “Experiments in Industrial Organization,” by
Edward Cadbury.)

modern theory of law. It is: (1) that law is the outcome of our
community life, (2) that it must serve, not individuals, but the
community.
