Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fourth Biennial Report of the Indiana Labor Commission for the Years 1903-1904 Dear Sir - Herewith is submitted to you the Fourth Biennial Report of the Indiana Labor Commission for the fiscal years 1903-1904. As compared with preceding reports made by this Commission, this one shows a gratifying improvement in industrial conditions in Indiana. This fact finds expression in fewer lockouts, strikes and boycotts; a smaller number of persons involved; a shorter duration of trouble; a lessened intensity of strife; more gratifying settlements, and a greater number of adjustments without strikes. Formerly troubles came with such frequency as to make it impossible to meet all the demands made upon the Commission. This was largely due to the fact that labor was then slowly evolving itself out of depressed conditions, and that in its zeal to secure the blessings of increasing prosperity conflicts were precipitated at times when more conservative methods would have accomplished better results, and at less cost of time and wages. It must not be understood that this report includes all the industrial troubles that have occurred in the State during the two years comprehended by it. There are still times when two or three prevail simultaneously in different localities - often remotely situated. Under such contingency it is the aim to render official aid where it seems most imperative. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
