Development of Industrial Law in the Rochester Clothing Market

Abstract

Introduction: the trade agreement regarded as a constitution for industry. — I. The decisions of the arbitrator under the Rochester agreement limit both parties according to principles agreed upon in the “constitution,” 259. — II. A shifting balance of power, generally in favor of the workers, appears in decisions of the arbitrator on discharge and discipline of employers and union officials, 263. — On introduction of machinery, 269. — Lockouts and stoppages, 270. — Hiring and division of work, 271. — Quitting, 272. — Transfers and promotions, 273. — Abolition of home work, 273. — III. A public purpose is discoverable in the arbitrator's decisions, as regards progress of the industry, 275. — Stability of the market, 280. — Safeguarding of collective bargaining, 288. — IV. Conclusion: A code of law is being developed coexistent with, and similar to, the law expressed in public courts. Will the common law of the courts eventually absorb “industrial law”? 289.
