8o REPORTS ON INVESTIGATIONS AND PROJECTS. 



Professor Johnson expects to take a leave of absence from the University 

 of Pennsylvania from February I, 1913, to September 1913, and to give his 

 time to the work of the division. He reports as follows regarding unfinished 

 work : 



The history of the coastwise trade of the United States, which was under- 

 taken some years ago by Asst. Prof. Thomas Conway, jr., is now practically 

 completed. A part of it has been copied, and the author promises to have 

 the entire work completed within a short time. 



There is no unfinished work due from collaborators. 



I am being assisted in the work by Mr. T. W. Van Meter, assistant in 

 transportation and commerce, University of Pennsylvania. Mr. Van Meter 

 is assisting me in the preparation of the final volume, the earlier portions of 

 which I have already written. Beginning with 191 3, I expect to have the 

 assistance of Dr. G. G. Huebner, assistant professor of transportation and 

 commerce, University of Pennsylvania. With the aid of these assistants it 

 is my hope to have the work completed by the autumn of 1913. 



Division VII.— MONEY AND BANKING. 

 Prof. Davis R. Dewey reported in July as follows : 



I am now devoting myself exclusively to the preparation of manuscript, 

 and, if I can continue during the remainder of the summer without serious 

 interruption, I hope to have a considerable block of the work accomplished 

 in the fall. The enterprise has now reached a stage where all depends upon 

 my own personal efforts rather than upon that of the collaborators. 



Division VIIL— LABOR MOVEMENT. 



Prof. John R. Commons reports that the following monographs have been 

 completed since the last report : 



History of the labor movement during the forties and fifties. By Henry 



Hoagland. 

 Movement for shorter hours 1825- 1880. By Lorian P. Jefferson. 



The following monographs are nearly completed : 



History of the labor movement from 1825 to 1837. By Dr. Helen L. Sumner. 

 History of socialism and anarchism in the United States. By Selig Perlman. 

 The Knights of Labor. By David J. Saposs. 

 The American Federation of Labor. By Edwin E. Witte. 



In regard to the completion of the work, Professor Commons states that 

 he expects to finish the final volume in the spring of 1913. 



Division IX.— INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION. 



As stated in previous reports, Prof. J. W. Jenks has done considerable 

 preliminary work, but, in order to avoid duplication, is suspending further 

 activity until the reports of some of the other divisions are finished.
