THE WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION AND PENSION PROPOSAL IN THE BREWING INDUSTRY, 1910-1912: A CASE STUDY IN CONFLICTING SELF-INTEREST.

- Abstract
The article discusses the proposed plan for workmen's compensation and pensions for employees in the brewing industry in the U.S. The U.S. was the only country among the industrialized nations who failed to make a broad-based social insurance program of which nations such as Germany, England and other European nations had already adopted. Such program provides a secondary income distribution system which protects families from the consequences of old age, unemployment, sickness and industrial accident. With this, the United States Brewers' Association in 1910 had proposed to the United Brewery Workers International an unusual workmen's compensation and pension.
