Synopsis

Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Economics, Vol. 19: November, 1904

After the limit was set, the companies discontinued the steady-time men, and placed them all on the hour basis, since their services as pace-makers were no longer useful. This reduction in expense must be considered as a compensation partly offsetting the reduc tion in work The steady-time men have opposed the action of the union because their earnings were reduced; but the majority of the skilled men consider the restriction as the main blessing which the union has brought them. For they say that formerly they were speeded up until they were ia a sweat all day, exhausted at night, and useless after forty years of age; but now it is a pleasure to work.
