Abstract
The instability of labor has always been a source of annoyance to commerce and industry. But, strange to say, in earlier days it was not thought of as anything more serious. As a general rule, there seemed to be an adequate supply of labor; and if one man quit, the solution was simply - get another. The question of labor turnover as thought of today, however, is one of comparatively recent origin. One of the first references to it was made only a few years ago by Professor John R. Commons, in an article on the "age Earners of Pittsburg", wherein he tells of an establishment (a machine works) which in a single year of continued prosperity, 1906 ........ hired 21,000 men and women to keep up a force of 10,000.
