Labor

War:

A

Selected

Bibliography

By

HELEN

BAKER

HE

preparation

of

a

bibliography

in

a

field

of

information

in

which

current

developments

are

rapid

and

variable

is

like

working

on

the

frag-

ments

of

a

puzzle

of

which

the

final

pattern

is

unknown.

The

available

printed

material

dealing

with

labor

and

the

war

can

at

best

suggest

trends,

evolving

governmental

policies,

and

atti-

tudes

of

labor,

industry,

and

govern-

ment

which

may

influence

both

the

trends

and

the

policies.

Thus

far

many

of

the

books

and

pamphlets

issued

on

this

subject

are

proposed

plans

and

dis-

cussions

of

problems

rather

than

reports

of

experience.

News

of

current

develop-

ments

as

well

as

short

reports

of

expe-

rience

must

be

gathered

from

magazine

and

newspaper

articles.
