The Workers International (Classic Reprint) by Raymond Postgate Pdf
Excerpt from The Workers International Internationalism. On International, an important chapter in the social history of Europe, I have had the good fortune to be able to consult the Minute book and other documentary sources. I have given great attention to the First International because I believe it to be an episode whose importance to European labour, and to British economic history has been seriously underrated.

Men, the Workers (Classic Reprint) by Henry Demarest Lloyd Pdf
Excerpt from Men, the Workers In this collection of articles and addresses the editors have endeavoured to show as com prehensively as possible Mr. Lloyd's attitude toward the Labour Movement in the various concrete forms in which it presented itself to him. Some of the incidents which called forth his word have become historic, While others have been forgotten in the lapse of years; but each and every one of the questions treated is a Vital issue in the world of labour to-day. The recognition of the union, the legal restriction of the hours of labour, the issuance of injunctions in labour disputes, and the relation of the labour movement to private monopoly, are as essen tially a part of that movement to-day as they Were in 1889 or in 1894.

Excerpt from The Workers: An Experiment in Reality One radiant Sunday morning in midsummer there came to me from his talk so strong a sug gestion of the means of acquiring the practical knowledge that I lacked, and in a way that gave promise of an experiment so interesting, and of such high possibility of successful treatment, that in that hour I knew that I was pledged to its undertaking.

The Workers in American History (Classic Reprint) by James Oneal Pdf
Excerpt from The Workers in American History In 1910 I wrote a small book of 136 pages bearing the title of this one and two editions were exhausted the following year. This booklet was devoted to the colonial and revolutionary period of American history, concluding with a short summary chapter. In the meantime I had received many letters urging that in the next edition I should attempt to cover the period following the revolution. This I did by adding another chapter to the third and much larger edition which appeared in 1912. This edition was nearly exhausted late in 1914 and in the meantime lecturing and traveling did not permit me to further enlarge the book, as I was conscious of its limitations even with the added chapter on the post-revolutionary period. Then the world war brought with it soaring costs of publication and I was compelled to abandon any thought of another edition until its close. This revised and fourth edition contains two additional chapters dealing with the modern period since the Civil War. Most of the preceding chapters remain as they were in the third edition, except for the correction of some minor errors of statement that had crept into the text and some abbreviations which, in making, have not made necessary the omission of any important fact or conclusion that appear in the last edition. While the book is now a fairly complete survey of the workers in American history from settlement times down to a recent period, I am still deeply conscious of its imperfections.

The Russian workers' republic by Henry Noel Brailsford Pdf
Excerpt from The Russian Workers' Republic This book is the fruit of two months spent in the autumn of 1920 in Soviet Russia. A visit to Russia is no longer a difficult adventure. I obtained a British passport to Esthonia and a Russian permit quite easily. Travelling was uneventful, and less uncomfortable than I had found it in Poland, Austria and Germany the year before. I met invariably with kindness and courtesy, and made many acquaint ances, who represented every phase of opinion. White exiles in London had told me that I should be watched, followed and personally conducted Wherever I went, and that no opponent of the Communists would dare to talk with me or approach me. None of these predictions came true. I went about alone Whenever and wherever I wished. I saw the leaders of the opposition alone in Moscow. In the provinces the local leaders of the opposition sought me out. Even in trains and libraries, strangers would enter into conversation and express them selves quite freely. Let me say at once that while I heard much criticism in Russia, I never heard there the Wild exaggerations in which exiles indulge abroad. So far from receiving too much help from official quarters in my, inquiries, I could sometimes have wished for more. There is much kindness but very little method in the dealings of the Bolsheviks with foreign journalists. I divided my time between Petrograd, Moscow, Minsk and the Western war-front and the central province of Vladimir. Moscow is still incorrigibly Russian, which means that it is unpunctual and unbusinesslike. The distances are great and the communications primitive. The telephone works badly and is little used. The Press re ects only one point of view. One may spend a week in Moscow and learn less than one could gather in two days in Berlin. Everyone, moreover, is overworked, and officials, after the Congress of the Third International, were rather tired, I suspect, of foreigners. In any event, I was anxious to see something of the provinces and of country life. I chose Vladimir for a short visit, and found it so interesting that I remained for two weeks. I learned in these two weeks more about Russia than in the other six. To investigate the life of a small town is a manageable problem. You can walk all over it without fatigue. Also, I could get conveyances to visit the villages, a thing I only once achieved from Moscow. Above all, everyone was interested in the presence of a stranger. Vladimir had seen no foreigner of any sort for six long years, and it was as eager to question me as I was to study it. This mutual inclination led to a stimulating exchange of thought and information. My reasons for choosing Vladimir were partly that it combined industry with agriculture, and partly that it had escaped the ravages of the civil war. I wanted to see the normal development of Soviet institutions after three years of revolution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Amalgamated Wood Workers' International Union of America by Frederick Shipp Deibler Pdf
Excerpt from The Amalgamated Wood Workers' International Union of America: A Historical Study of Trade Unionism in Its Relation to the Development of an Industry This thesis proceeds upon the idea that an intensive study of the origin and development of an individual union will reveal to the best advantage the principles of unionism, and the work ings of organized labor. Unionism is regarded as a social phe nomenon which requires for a clear understanding of its social importance, the same sort of treatment that has been given to other social institutions. The economist, in his study of'society, should lay bare the institutions of society and show their social significance in much the same way in which the surgeon lays bare the organs of the human body in order to understand their functions. By applying this method of investigation to this sub jcet, there appear two points of View from which to consider the union. In the first place, the union may be regarded as a social institution, having very definite relations to other institutions of society, as for example, the relation of the union to the state, or, in a mere restricted sense, the relation of one union to an other. Secondly, the structure of the organization may be stud ied, that is, its legislative, financial, and judicial systems, - also its industrial policy and the relation of this policy to the indus try itself. These are questions with which an analytical study of a union will concern itself, and which, it is believed, will throw light upon the larger problems of organized labor.

Excerpt from What the Workers Want: A Study of British Labor This book tells what the workers want, in their own words. It is not an interpretation by an intellectual of what he thinks labor ought to want. It is the human record of British labor as it goes to victory, reported by an American for Americans. It tells what the explosive ideas are which have long lain um discharged in human consciousness. It tells in their own words who the leaders are, what the strikes meant, what the workers have won, and what they seek. Labor at home is an agitation; in Britain it is forming public Opinion. The trade unions are an integral part of the State. The great trade union Socialists are successfully fighting the sweep of anarchy from Eastern and Central Europe and the murderous bitter ness of American industrial relations.

The International Council of Trade and Industrial Unions (Classic Reprint) by A. Losovsky Pdf
Excerpt from The International Council of Trade and Industrial Unions Trade Unions arose as organs of the working class to counter balance the growing exploitation. In its early form the trade union was a union of workers in a certain craft, having for its object to assist its members employed in a definite category of labor. As the capitalist system grew and developed so the form of organization of the trade union changed also, and with that the scope and character of its work also changed. It is necessary to observe, however, that the form of organization of the trade unions always lagged behind the form of organization of capitalism which during the last nine years has developed such powerful organizations, like trusts and syndicates, the competition among which, as is known, led to the world war. While capitalism in the course of its development assumed new forms of organization which facilitated it in exploiting labor and subjecting to itself the apparatus of the State, the trade unions lagged behind like a shadow, in many countries preserving the old forms of organization, with all their close corporative character, narrowness and limitations. In counter acting the increasing exploitation, in striving to raise the standard of living, to improve the conditions of labor, andsecure the principle of collective agreements the trade unions always acted on the basis of capitalist relations, and as the unions grew and became internally consolidated the idea of an unbreakable tie between the trade unions and the existing order of things became stronger. The older the trade union move ment became and capitalism the more powerful the more clearly and definitely did the idea become of the necessity for the existence of capitalism and the co-operation of classes as a condition for the improvement of the standard of living of the workers.

The Making of a Socialist by Roland Douglas Sawyer Pdf
Excerpt from The Making of a Socialist: Le Document Humain As the story of a working man, who by force of circumstances was forced from the bench, to give his time to reading and study, and thus to see things a little more intelligently than many of the workers have opportunity to do, I want this sketch of my life to be considered. I have ventured to have this story published for several reasons one is, that several who read it in the New York Call have written to me suggest ing such a course; another is, that while we have built up a good scientific literature of Socialism here in America, yet we are short of books of lighter vein, biography, fiction, poetry mere literature with us is scant, soi feel there is a place for such a book; again I don't know why the story is not well enuf told to be put into a book; but the reason above all others is, that my faith in the Cause is such, that I would rather myname be permanently connected with it than with anything else. The Making of My Socialism I consider the most important thing in my life; for the Cause, I have thrown away any chances I may have had of professional success; I have sacrificed many things that once loomed big for me, and thus I want to put on record my affiliation with the International Socialist Movement.

The Worker and His Work (Classic Reprint) by Stella S. Center Pdf
Excerpt from The Worker and His Work This book has been compiled in an effort to meet the needs of boys and girls who feel the urgent necessity of selecting the right vocation. Few subjects provoke so keen an interest as that of one's life work. The thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts. But there is danger in early selection and specialization before there is perspective. To be a vocational misfit is almost as tragic as to have no work at all.
