History of Public Utility Regulation: The term "public utility" refers to a class of industries in the performance of whose service the public is concerned in a peculiar way. These undertakings are described as affected with a public interest. Steam and electric railroads, express and sleeping car lines, telephone and cable companies fall into this definition.

Such enterprises exist by public grant of monopolistic privilege.

Industrial Relations - In The Following Divisions 1. Education And Department Training 2. Research And Shop Committees, Clarence E. Markhoff

Probably the most important problem tha.t ever occurred in the Industrial World is that of Industrial Relations. This problem has not only proven itself to be of special importance today, but has existed ever since the beginning of time; ever since there existed a manager and the party managed; ever since one man worked for or was hired by another; ever since there existed the employer, the individual on one side, and the employee, the individual on the other. This problem might well be called a problem of Human Relations and in that way, I believe, it will be more …

Significance Of Labor Turnover, Albert L. Pfund

Bachelors’ Theses

The instability of labor has always been a source of annoyance to commerce and industry. But, strange to say, in earlier days it was not thought of as anything more serious. As a general rule, there seemed to be an adequate supply of labor; and if one man quit, the solution was simply - get another. The question of labor turnover as thought of today, however, is one of comparatively recent origin. One of the first references to it was made only a few years ago by Professor John R. Commons, in an article on the "age Earners of Pittsburg", …

The Source And Development Of Labor Supply, Russell J. Broderick

It is used to denote the association of peoples and leads to the time when people became interdependent. In the same way it is possible to simmer down the first part of the above statement. When the time was reached when one man was more or less dependent on his brother, we find a conflict. In that we are dealing with a phase of labor known as personnel we call it a conflict of capital and labor.

Catalogues That Tell How, Elmer L. Hartmann

It is often tritely said that a catalogue is to "sell goods." In truth, the best thing that a catalogue can do is to procure "an order" for goods but before this can happen some­ thing must occur after the receipt of the catalogue before any goods are actually sold, and that something generally happens in the mind of the buyer.
