Excerpt from Labor Differences and Their Settlement: A Plea for Arbitration and Conciliation The conclusions presented in the following pages are the results of more than fifteen years' close and careful study of the labor question in two hemispheres. During most of this time I have held such positions as compelled me to be not a locker-on, but an actual participant in some of the most important labor contests that have oc curred in this country. I have twice visited Europe especially to investigate the subjects discussed, and have been honored with the friendship and confidence not only of many employers, but of the labor leaders of this coun try and England. While I do not assume to speak for' either employer or employed, it is believed that the views herein advanced, in their general scope, are in accord with those of the most liberal and far-seeing of both.

Joseph Dame Weeks
Edit ProfileEducation
After serving with the United States Christian Commission, 1863-65, Weeks entered Wesleyan University, where he prepared for the Methodist ministry, but he was compelled by a throat disorder soon after graduation in 1869 to abandon the idea of a ministerial career.
Career
He spent sometime in Iowa working on the Burlington Hawkeye, moved to Cincinnati, published a History of the Knights of Pythias in 1871. In 1872 he became editor of the American Manufacturer, published in Pittsburgh, which in 1874 was consolidated with the Iron World. Two years later he resigned to become associate editor and manager of the Pittsburgh office of the New York Iron Age, but in April 1886, he returned to the Manufacturer, of which he had secured control, and continued as its editor until his death. His articles in these journals were regarded as authoritative and were widely quoted. Deeply interested in the problems of industrial relations, Weeks was instrumental, through the Western Iron Association and the Western Pig Iron Association, in fixing iron prices. He was responsible for the first wage scale offered by the manufacturers to the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers; and he subsequently presided over a number of wage conferences, enjoying to an unusual degree the confidence of both sides. A firm believer in the protective tariff, he testified before congressional fact-finding committees. As a scientist, Weeks is credited with conducting the experiments that led to the first use of gas in a puddling furnace. The year before his death he investigated the utilization of by-products in coke manufacture in Germany and urged the example on western Pennsylvania. He made a survey of the iron ores of the James River Valley in Virginia. To the Transactions of the American Association of Mining Engineers, of which he was president in 1895, he contributed articles on manganese steel, blast furnaces, fuel problems, natural gas, the Bessemer process. Appointed a special agent for the census of 1880, he prepared reports on the manufacture of coke and glass and an entire volume on wages in manufacturing industries with supplementary reports on trade societies, strikes, and lockouts. For the census of 1890 he prepared the articles on the mining of petroleum, gas, and manganese, and on the manufacture of refined petroleum, coke, and gas. From 1885 to 1895 he was employed by the department of mineral resources of the United States Geological Survey, contributing annually the articles on coke manufacture, crude petroleum, natural gas, and the production of manganese. To the Pennsylvania bureau of industrial statistics he furnished articles on coke. He was judge of awards in the department of mines and mining at the World's Columbian Exposition, 1893. At the time of his death he was assembling statistics for the Pennsylvania Tax Conference Commission, of which he was chairman, and for the national commission appointed to appraise the property of the Monongahela River Navigation Company.
