Excerpt from The Social Problem at the Chicago Stock Yards: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculties of the Graduate Schools of Arts, Literature, and Sciences, in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Department of Sociology)

The problem of the next age is rather that of providing a truly human life for those who are less skilled and capable, and who are consequently less able to look after their own interests.' The world is realizing today, especially in industry, as never before, the truth that any set of conditions which gives a chance for the strong to remain strong must also give a chance for the weak to become strong.

The Chicago Stock Yards have been chosen as the special subject of this study because the vast aggregation of business at this place affords an unusual opportunity to observe in strikingly typical forms the Special characteristics of modern industry: concentration of enormous capital, high specialization of ma chinery, minute subdivision of labor, military organization of management, subordination of unskilled labor, world-wide extension of market, production for the sake of production.
