[Sec Frederick W. Taylor " A Piece Rate System," Tram'aeli(m,v of" f/" . Ammean Soc-tery of Mechanical Engineers (New York, A. S. M. E., 1895), pp. S9r .'N,".] 11. See, for example, H. Jack Schapiro and Mahmoud A. Wahba's "Frederick W. T:lyltll '" years later," Pe.rsonnel Journal, August 1974, which argues that the "economic man" model, in which money is the prime motivator, still (sic) obtains. 12. Taylor, "A Piece-Rate System," op. eit. (Discussion: Mr. John A. Penton), pp. 88H.9. 13. Drury, op. cit., p. 197; Milton Nadworny, Seiemific Management and the Unions (Cambridge, Mass., 1955), pp. 27-28. 14. John . Commons, "Restrictions by Trade Unions," The OWlook, October, 1906. 15. Surveymg the notes and bibliography sections of McKelvey's and Nadworny's books on the subject, we find that McKelvey looked at only two contracts (signed in 1925 ami 1930) and that Nadworny examined none. 16. Haber, op. cit., p. 67. 17. Thompson, op . cit., p. 96 and p. 155. 18. Henry Gantt, a conrvative Taylor disciple, admired the l..cninist dictatorship, especla!ly of course, Its Taylorist component. And Morris L. Cooke, a liberal Taylorit , {", Of . Whl It was said in 1915 that "no one has done more to broaden the scope of s,clehflc manage e t." was one of Ihe first spokesmen to publicly urge the Tilylor SoclCty to rccognze lts natural partner in unionism, Cooke, not surprisingly, became ill the 19305 a prominent CIO advocate. (See Drury, op. cit., p. 153.) 19. Matthew Josephson, Sidney Hillman (Garden City, N.Y., 1952), pp, 111-112. 20. Taylor Papers, "Taylor or Ruggles." February 17, 1908. 21. . :lugh ? J.

Other testimony made it clear, furthermore, that workers' re.o,;entmem was fueled by the anti-workmanship aspects of Taylorism. Isaac Goostray and Alexander Crawford, for example, spoke of the pressures to slight their work and reduce their level of craftsmanship. 23. Aitken, op. cit., pp. 223-224. 24. For example, Haber, op. cit., declares that organized labor was solidly against scientific managemet uring this period (p. 66), but only cites lAM statements (pp. 67-69) to support thiS vIew. 25. Jean Trepp McKelvey, AFL Altiludes Towards Production (Ithaca, 1952), p. 16. 26. Aitken, op . cit., pp. 183-184. 27. Richard H. Pells, Radical Visions and American Dreams (New York, 1973), p. 200. 28. Whers Erving Bernstein's The 1.ean Year.i: A History of the American Worker, 1920-1933 (New York, 1960) spoke of the 1920s' "sharp reversal in the AFL's historic opposition to scientific management," more recent efforts repeat the same error. James R. Green's The World of the Worker (New York, 1980) quotes Bernstein to the same general point (p. 17), also citing McKelvey and Nadworny, Daniel Nelson's Frederick JY. Taylor and , the RISe of SCLentific Management (Madison, 1980) likewise repeats the myth of a pre '!lar "confrontation between scientific management and labor" (p. 164) which turned 1I1to truce and then collaboration during the 1920s (p. 202).
