Arbitration Between Capital and Labor offers a clear look at how peaceful dispute resolution reshapes work relations.
This historical and argumentative study examines the rise of arbitration as a way to settle conflicts between workers and employers. It traces the failures of strikes, surveys early voluntary boards, and surveys English and American efforts to formalize peaceful settlement methods. The book argues that peaceful, law‑driven methods can reduce chaos, preserve working life, and protect both sides. It blends narrative with practical snapshots from different trades and eras to show how arbitration has evolved and why it matters.
Readers will encounter real‑world case studies, including early English boards, the Nottingham and Wolverhampton systems, and notable Scottish and Glasgow initiatives. The volume also surveys influential texts and reports that shaped the debate, and it includes appendices outlining arbitration practices and sample rules.
Ideal for readers of labor history, political economy, and policy debates about how to balance capital and labor in a changing economy.

This book presents an insightful examination of the value and necessity of arbitration as a means of peacefully resolving disputes between capital and labor. The author explores the historical backdrop of labor conflicts, analyzing the failures and fallacies of strikes and their devastating impact on both workers and employers.
