Biographical / Historical

James O. Morris (February 8, 1923 - June 30, 1985) was professor of industrial and labor relations at Cornell University's New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations.
A graduate of Hiram College and the University of Michigan, Morris joined the faculty of Cornell University in 1955. In the 1950s and early 1960s, he spent time in Chile as a Fulbright scholar and the ILR School's representative at the University of Chile in Santiago. After his time in Chile, Morris returned to Ithaca and taught in Cornell's Department of Collective Bargaining, Labor Law, and Labor History.
Morris was the author of Conflict within the AFL: A Study of Craft versus Industrial Unionism, 1900-1938 (Ithaca: Cornell, 1958), Elites, Intellectuals and Consensus: A Study of the Social Question and the Industrial Relations Systems in Chile (Ithaca: Cornell, 1966), Bibliography of Industrial Relations in the Railroad Industry (Ithaca: Cornell, 1975), and with Roberto Oyaneder, Afiliacion y finanzas sindicales en Chile, 1932-1959 (Santiago: University of Chile Press, 1966).
Morris served on the editorial board of Labor History and Industrial and Labor Relations Review, and was a founding member of the New York State Labor History Association, a group for which he also served terms as vice president and president.
