LABOR DICTIONARY

Of Terms Used in Indus

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. April 90
What Is probably the first dictionary

put out by the Harvard Bureau of
Business Research. The object of this
bulletin Is to provide a means of les
SEEMING the verbal Misunderstanding
which often cause or prolong disputes
between employers and employees.
Tho bulletin contains definitions
from the labor standpointof several
hundred terms, many of which. such
as "open shop" collective bargain
ing" and "union shop" are frequently
used with different meanings by
parties TO labor controversies.
This effort to define what labor men
mean when they use terms has been
made for the purpose of enabling
manufacturers and employers to Sc
cure a better understanding of the
point Of view Of their men.
The bulletin is prepared primarily
for employers, says Prof. M. T. Cope
land. because many terms are the
subject Of controversy and the need
was felt of q means by which the
employer might more quickly find out
what the employe and particularly
the organized employee, means when
he uses q term often used by the
employer in another sense.
An "open shop" is thus defined from
the labor point of view as "a plant in
which both union and non-union labor
Is employed without discrimination"
