Analysis of the Interchurch World Movement Report on the Steel Strike (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025277172)

Analysis of the Interchurch World Movement Report on the Steel Strike is a detailed and rigorous critique of one of the most influential labor investigations in early 20th-century American history. Written in the aftermath of the massive 1919 steel strike, this work by Marshall Olds provides a comprehensive rebuttal to the findings of the Interchurch World Movement, which had previously released a report highly critical of the steel industry's management and labor practices.

Olds meticulously examines the original report's data, methodology, and ideological underpinnings, arguing that the investigation was compromised by bias and radical influences. Through a point-by-point examination, the author explores the complexities of the strike, the conditions of the workers, and the dynamics of the "open shop" movement. This text serves as a significant historical document, illustrating the deep ideological divide between industrial leadership and social reformers during a period of intense labor unrest.

This volume is an essential resource for those interested in labor history, economic sociology, and the history of industrial relations in the United States. It provides invaluable insight into the historical arguments used to defend industrial management and the role of third-party religious and social organizations in public policy debates.
