THE SOUL OF PARIS AND OTHER ESSAYS By Verner Z. Reed Illustrated by Ernest C. Piexotto New York: John Lane Company; London: John Lane - The Bodley Head; Toronto: Bell & Cockburn, 1913, first edition Original gold printed green cloth binding; 178 pages, complete with 9 illustrations Condition: very good; some edgewear; bumped corners; occasional light soiling Ernest P. Marsh and Verner Z. Reed served as labor mediators for President Woodrow Wilson and his special PRESIDENT'S MEDIATION COMMISSION*, 1917 - 1918.
*[The President's Mediation Commission
represented a partial federal response to two aspects of wartime labor policy:
1) the spreading wave of strikes which interfered with the production of goods
deemed vital to the war effort; and, 2) the growth of labor radicalism
associated with the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), which precipitated
widespread state and local repression of labor's rights. On the urging
of A.F. of L. President Samuel Gompers and of Secretary of Labor William B.
Wilson, the Commission was appointed by President Woodrow Wilson on September
19, 1917. The Commission consisted of two representatives of management, two
labor officials and Chairman William Wilson. Most important in establishing
the guidelines on which the Commission operated was Felix Frankfurter,
appointed as Commission secretary. These included the promotion of A.F. of
L.-style trade unions and industrial democracy and the elimination of
"subversive" IWW locals. Among the areas investigated by the
Commission were the copper mining areas of Arizona and Montana, the lumber
industry of the Pacific Northwest, telephone operators in San Francisco and
packinghouse workers in Chicago. The Commission's findings were subsequently
published as a special bulletin by the Dept. of Labor.]
