Review of The turnover of factory labor

Abstract

Reviews the book, The turnover of factory labor by Summer H. Slichter (1919). Throughout his thesis the author sets forth the urgent need for a definite and well-defined labor policy in industry. He speaks from his actual experience as a worker among workmen as well as from an analysis of facts gathered from many channels of recent research. The extensive field which the material and references cover makes this a work on labor problems. Superintendents, employment managers, foremen, social workers and students of social psychology will find the book full of vital information in regard to the motivation of the individuals who daily pass in and out of the employment gate of a large factory.
