Excerpt from Social Engineering: A Record of Things Done by American Industrialists Employing Upwards of One and One-Half Million of People
IN my studies Of social and industrial problems during the last fifteen years, I was impressed with the extent and the variety of efforts that were being made to promote better rela tions between capital and labor. At first there was no name for this kind Of work. In 1898, for lack Of a better term, I called it industrial betterment, a phrase which passed quickly into current use and literature. At that time industrial betterment was scarcely comprehended, but today the changes are being rung on betterment - industrial, social, civic and religious. Several years later, the National Civic Federation organized a department of betterment, and called it welfare work.
Industrial betterment is more comprehensive, inasmuch as it concerns the efficiency promotion of the worker as well as the plant, in other words, this betterment of the labor element is a cold business proposition and is undertaken commonly to get the best results out Of labor. Welfare work concerns the im provement Of the personal conditions Of the laborer; this is Often Offensive to him and is resented by him, savoring as it does of paternalism and charity.
Recognizing the inadequacy of both terms, industrial better ment and welfare work, to express the relations Of interdepend ence between capital and labor and the sympathy which should exist between these two elements in the successful promotion Of a business, I am convinced that the ideal relationship is best expressed by the term mutuality.
