The Engineer, an Employee-Employer. Address at the Annual Convention, Detroit, Michigan, July 21. 1937

It is not uncommon to-day to read in a newspaper a glowing account of some outstanding engineering work and in the same issue of that paper to be confronted with the news that engineers are organizing into labor unions. Thus, we have public recognition that this is the age of the engineer, that the material progress of the world to-day is dependent upon his achievements; and, yet, engineers are resorting to collective bargaining because of a lack of economic recognition of the individual engineer.
