Review and reflection: a half-century of labour relations

Ching's record of this half-century (1903-1953) is enlivened by many revealing anecdotes about persons and events in Washington circles and the industrial community. His close asso ciation with leaders in industry and labor and with Presidents from Wilson to Eisenhower provides a rich back ground to his account of crucial labor industry controversies and their principals.
The many tough nuts in labor disputes which he helped to crack; the personal equations and idiosyncrasies with which he had to deal; and the intrusion of political forces on industry labor issues are brought to light in this genuinely impartial record.
Including in its scope the impacts on labor relations of two World Wars and a major depression, Ching's work is an enlightening and entertaining testimony by a highly qualified witness. Unique in his intimate position during this active period of industrial and social change, author Cy Chingnar rates an on-the-scene report.
