Excerpt from The Establishment of Legal Minimum Rates in the Boxmaking Industry: Under the Trade Boards Act of 1909
This Report is the third of a series designed to throw light on some of the attempts which have recently been made to establish and enforce minimum standards of pay ment. Previous publications of this Foundation have discussed the working of the Trade Boards established under the Trade Boards Act of 1909 for the establishment of minimum rates in the chainmaking industry and the readymade and wholesale tailoring trade.1 Our present monograph is intended to supplement them by setting out the effects, SO far as they can be ascertained, of the minimum rates fixed for workers engaged in the manu facture of paper, cardboard, and chip boxes. The Report was written in the early autumn of 1914, the evidence on which it is based having been mainly collected between March 1913 and July 1914. The publication had to be postponed, but, in view of the abnormal conditions occa sioned by the war, it seemed best to leave it unaltered and not to attempt to bring the facts up to date.
