The Bureau of Industrial Research was a New York City-based labor research organization.[1]

History

In 1920, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) created the Bureau of Industrial Research to address such issues, in part due to the influence of the technocratic ideas of Howard Scott. In 1921, a series of articles by or about the Bureau appeared in the Industrial Pioneer.[2]

Description

The group described itself as an organization "to promote sound human relationships in industry by consultation, fact studies and publicity." Its Manhattan offices had a library on current industrial relations. It offered to supply data "at moderate cost" to interested parties, whether individuals, corporations, labor organizations, or the press.[1]
