Labor leadership shifts and science in industry reform
In Babson Park Mass special commentary, United Mine Workers President John L Lewis is depicted as a combative figure whose era of fiery leadership may end. The piece argues that future strikes in key sectors like coal will fade as both capital and labor adopt scientific approaches, with leaders becoming trained experts who focus on core economics rather than immediate issues. It notes a five year trend of strikes, 1921’s about 1200 and this year around 600, showing improving labor relations across Canada as well.
