    THE PHILIP TAFT COLLECTION Papers, 1955-1972 (Predominantly, 1960-62, 1972) 2 linear feet Accession Number 495 L. C. Number MS The Philip Taft papers were donated by Theresa Taft, and placed in the Archives between 1971 and 1979. They were opened to researchers in January, 1985. Dr. Philip Taft was born in 1902, in Syracuse, New York. At the age of 14 he left New York and spent the next eight years working at odd jobs in factories, Great Lakes ore boats, the Midwest grain harvest, Northwest logging camps and the railroad. It was during this period, in 1917, that he joined the Industrial Workers of the World. He later worked with the IWW Organization Committee, an executive group for the agricultural workers. He returned to New York and finished High School at the age of 26. He was then accepted at the University of Wisconsin, where he worked with Selig Perlman, a prominent labor historian. He co-authored The History of Labor in the U.S. 1896-1932 with Dr. Perlman while still a graduate student, and went on to write numerous books on economics and labor history. Among these was an in-depth, two volume history of the American Federation of Labor. He received his doctorate in economics in 1935 and subsequently worked for the Wisconsin Industrial Commission, the Resettlement Administration and the Social Security Administration. In 1937, he joined the economics department faculty at Brown University and served as department chairman from 1949-1953. Dr. Taft was on of the founding editors of the Labor History journal in 1959, and served on the editorial board until 1976.

    IN THIS ISSUE... Volume 19 Number 2 Spring/Summer 2009 Comparative Perspectives on American Political Development Richard Franklin Bensel Department of Government, Cornell University I write to you as the 19th president of the section, a section now mature enough to have spanned a generation. We, as the Jefferson Airplane once sang, “are no longer young.” But we are also not old. We are somewhere in between, neither idling at a crossroads nor hurtling down a freeway. The section has its share of challenges but seems to be in good shape. But this is not a “state of the section” essay. Instead, I write as one who, along with the rest of you, have watched Politics and History develop over the years. We have, as I will describe below, become a bit of a tribe but our tribalism has always been less developed than most of our peer sections. And this is all to the good. A tension lurks at the center of most In In this Issue academicIN life, a tension between the sociological imperative of a profession and the individualizing, creative spirit of scholarship.

It is not so much new laws that are required today as a strengthened capacity to make existing laws work.‖ My dissertation shows that regulatory agencies are critical sites of policy-making, and even rights-making, for immigrants and non- English speakers and that they are instrumental to making civil rights laws work. The dissertation asks how rights expand in the new civil rights era and why they expand to varying extents in different policy arenas.

    Shifting Axes of Social Mobilization and the Challenge to Industrial Relations Theory

    Changing Regimes of Workplace Governance, Shifting Axes of Social Mobilization and the Challenge to Industrial Relations Theory Michael J. Piore David W. Skinner Professor of Political Economy Department of Economics, MIT Sean Safford Assistant Professor of Organizations and Strategy Graduate School of Business, University of Chicago 16 March 2006 (final) * We have accumulated debts to a number of people, too great to be acknowledged here. But we were particularly influenced by conversations with the students and faculty of the IWER group at MIT, and with Frank Dobbin, Deborah Kolb, Victoria Hattam, Natasha Iskander, Chris Desan, Sarah Ashwin, Carola Frege, John Logan, Bob McKersie and Andrew Schrank. Abstact This article challenges prevailing views about the collapse of the New Deal industrial relations system and the role of the market. It argues that the old system has been replaced not by the market but by an employment rights regime, in which the rules of the workplace are imposed by law, judicial opinions and administrative rulings, supplemented by mechanisms at the enterprise level that are responsive to the law but also are susceptible to employee pressures, both individual and collective. The emergence of this regime is the product of a shift in the axes of social and political mobilization from mobilization around economic identities rooted in class, industry, occupation and enterprise to identities rooted in the society outside the workplace: sex, race, ethnicity, age, disability, and sexual orientation. The shift in the axes of mobilization in turn reflects the collapse of the underlying model of social and economic organization upon which the collective bargaining regime was built and more fundamentally a shift in our understanding of the nature of industrial society and its direction of evolution in history.

  • Workers Disarmed: the Campaign Against Mass Picketing and the Dilemma of Liberal Labor Rights

    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLC\49-1\HLC102.txt unknown Seq: 1 25-FEB-14 15:57 Workers Disarmed: The Campaign Against Mass Picketing and the Dilemma of Liberal Labor Rights Ahmed A. White* In the late 1930s and early 1940s, mass picketing, characterized by large numbers of workers congregating in common protest at or near their employers’ establishments, emerged as a crucial weapon in a historic campaign by Ameri- can workers to realize basic labor rights and build an enduring labor movement in the face of strident resistance from a powerful business community. So potent a weapon did mass picketing prove that these business interests, aided by allies at all levels of government, moved quickly to ban the tactic. From the real- world complexities of labor conflict, this coalition forged a simplistic, analyti- cally dubious, but difficult to contest picture of mass picketing as inherently violent, oppressive, and unjustifiable, and constructed a legal regime that pro- scribed the tactic even when it was not accompanied by overt violence. By the late 1940s, mass picketing was effectively banned by legislatures, courts, and police. Thereafter, it ceased to serve as an effective means of labor protest. Although overlooked by labor scholars and legal historians, this successful cru- sade against mass picketing was a crucial event in American legal and social history. For it not only anchored a broad-ranging attack on labor rights that culminated in the 1947 enactment of the Taft-Hartley Act; it also disarmed the labor movement, leaving unions and workers unable to consolidate the rights they seized in the 1930s and 1940s and impotent against renewed attacks on labor rights that began to unfold in the 1970s and that have left the labor move- ment shattered.

The Army Corps of Engineers provided institutional links between these two geographically distant imperial projects. After documenting the historical connections between war and wall, I shift the analytic lens to show how mid-century modernism and imperial foreign policy were entangled aesthetically. General Westmoreland, Agnes Martin, Sol LeWitt, and Richard Serra all draw from the same social imaginary. Substantive political disagreements notwtihstanding, geometric grids animated aesthetic affinities that have made it more difficult to perceive, let alone critique or dislodge, the long tentacles of American imperialism. Keywords imaginary, immigration, landing mat, materiality, mid-century, modernism Since 1986, the United States has been engaged in a massive public works program building a wall along the US–Mexico border. This is certainly one of the largest public works programs in the last 50 years—a significant engineering feat in which the fence navigates the rugged and varied terrain from San Diego, California, to Brownsville, Texas.

    RUSSELL SAGE FOUNDATION Working Paper # 206 Social Theory, Modernity, and the Three Waves of Historical Sociology Julia Adams, Elisabeth Clemens and Ann Shola Orloff Date: April 14, 2003 Russell Sage Working Papers have not been reviewed by the Foundation. Copies of working papers are available from the author, and may not be reproduced without permission. 1 Social Theory, Modernity, and the Three Waves of Historical Sociology Julia Adams, Elisabeth Clemens and Ann Shola Orloff [forthcoming as the Introduction to Julia Adams, Elisabeth Clemens and Ann Shola Orloff, eds. Remaking Modernity: Politics, History and Sociology, Duke University Press, 2004] “We shall set to work and meet the ‘demands of the day,’ in human relations as well as in our vocation. This, however, is plain and simple, if each finds and obeys the demon who holds the fibers of his very life.” (Max Weber 1958: 156) “Discontinuity is freedom.” (Harold Bloom 1997: 39) Sociology as a discipline is intimately entwined with modernity, both as lived and theorized. Sociologists have galvanized distinctive mechanisms of social rationalization and technical regulation (not least statistics and surveys) and authored ideas of the modern social space as a realm that we denizens inhabit and control. Sociologists have also helped define modernity’s significant Others, including the categories of tradition and post-modernity. They have applied their intellectual energy to formulating what might be called the “sociological modern”: situating actors and institutions in terms of these categories, understanding the paths by which they develop or change, and communicating these understandings to states, citizens, all manner of organizations and social movements – as well as vast armies of students.
