ABSTRACT
Ignorance on all sides, and in considering this problem it is essential carefully to examine what form this ignorance takes. It is difficult to decide in what order to take these various parties, but in the order in which they are set out they probably show the most illuminating aspect of the subject with which this chapter is concerned. What has already been done in the coal industry and the printing industry indicates quite clearly that here is a field which the Cost Accountant can explore with considerable prospect of contributing to the common welfare. It is obviously not possible now to go into detail as to the methods by which the Cost Accountant can accomplish the task which has been outlined as his legitimate function in Industrial Relations. Cost Accountant field is one to which, unfortunately, the Cost Accountant has, up to the present, had practically no opportunity to contribute.
