Originally published in 1923, this thorough and critical volume collected and analysed material bearing on the UK Government practice during the early part of the 20th Century in settling wages in 4 key government departments. A substantial introduction indicates the constitutional aspect of the problem and its relation to economic theory on the subject of wages. The book discusses developments in Government wage negotiations and provides a comparison with methods of other countires. The changes of the First World War period are summarized in Chapter 5.
