Download or read book American Federation of Labor written by American Federation of Labor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Federation of Labor: History, Encyclopedia, Reference Book But such a living, breathing organization as the American Federation of Labor needs more than a Year Book. It was believed the membership would welcome a publication that would give in as concise form as possible' every important proposition acted on by all the conventions. To that end the many questions considered in the thirty-eight sessions of the Federation have been compiled and published in encyclopedia form. This has developed a ready reference book that will be of greatest assistance not only to the officers and members but to all who seek to know the principles upon which our trade union movement is founded and the wonderful successes achieved. Those who desire information in detail can readily refer to the proceedings, as the work is also a bibliography. While each subject is briefly treated the intention has been not to omit anything that would prevent a thorough understanding of every principle. When it is known there are words in the thirty-eight proceedings. That had to be reduced to about it will be seen the work has been dif ficult. The rule followed was to use the official language of the conventions. The belief was that it should be an American Federation of Labor book, not the work of any individual or group of individuals. The real authors are the delegates to conventions, extracts from whose resolutions and speeches. Are printed literally but in condensed form. It is the American Federation of Labor officially talking to you as you read, not an individual author Every delegate who presented a proposition, discussed any issue or in any way left the impress of his thoughts on the trade union movement will recognize the result of his work in the book. Only the names are omitted, making all the delegates equally responsible for the magnificent growth and victories gained by the labor movement. Many brilliant orations have been made in the conventions and official reports of marvelous literary merit and economic value have been presented.

Download or read book The History of Trade Unionism Classic Reprint written by Sidney Webb and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Trade Unionism Though we undertook the study of the Trade Union movement, not to prove any proposition of our own, but to discover what problems it had to present to us, our minds were not SO blank on the subject that we had no preconception of the character of these problems. We thought they would almost certainly be economic, pointing a common economic moral; and that expectation still seems to us so natural, that if it had been fulfilled we should have accepted its fulfilment without comment. But it was not so. Our researches were no sooner fairly in hand than we began to discover that the effects of Trade Unionism upon the conditions of labour, and upon indus trial organization and progress, are so governed by the infinite technical variety of our productive processes, that they vary from industry to industry and even from trade to trade; and the economic moral varies with them. Where we expected to find an economic thread for atreatise, we found a spider's web; and from that moment we recognized that what we had first to write was not a treatise, but a history. And we saw that even a history would be impossible to follow unless we separated the general history of the whole movement from the particular histories of thousands of trade societies, some of which have maintained a continuous existence from the last century, whilst others have cropped up, run their brief course, and disappeared. Thus, when we had finished our labour of investigating the records of practically every important trade society from one end of the kingdom to the other, and accumulated piles of extracts, classified under endless trades and subdivisions of trades, we found that we must exclude from the first volume all but a small selection from those documents which appeared to us most significant with regard to the development of the general movement. Many famous strikes and lock-outs, many interesting trade disputes, many sensational prosecutions, and some furious outbursts of riot and crime, together with many drier matters relating to particular trades, have had either to be altogether omitted from our narrative, or else accorded a strictly subordinate reference in their rela tion to the history of Trade Unionism as a whole. All analysis of the economic effects of Trade Union action we reserve for a subsequent volume on the Problems of Trade Unionism, for which we shall draw more fully from the annals of the separate unions. And in that volume the most exacting seeker for economic morals will be more than satisfied; for there will be almost as many economic morals drawn as societies described.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History, of the American Labor Movement This little book is intended as a brief and simple story of the labor movement in the United States from the day of independence to the present time.

Download or read book Appeal Socialist Classics 1916 Vol 7 written by W. J. Ghent and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Appeal Socialist Classics, 1916, Vol. 7: Socialism and Organized Labor The original and the still dominant form of the modern labor union is the trade-union, the organization of workers by crafts. In England trade-unionism began before the Socialist movement. On the continent the early unions were small and weak, and unionism became a power only with the growth of Socialism. The English union movement, wrote Bebel, arose from the class struggle of the English workingmen with the employers. No political party stood by its cradle, served as its nurse and took it under its protection. It was otherwise in Germany. The labor movement, which was born in Germany in the revolutionary period, met an early death, before it had come to Years of understanding. It came to its end through the reaction which began in the second half of the year 1849 and lasted till the end of 1850. But when, at the close of the fifties, the political stagnation came to an end, when the middle class resumed its political activity and formed the National Union as its organization, the working class also began to start into life. The French unions declined with the suppression of the revolt of July, 1848, but though reviving somewhat during the later years of Louis Napoleon's reign, did not become strong until more than a decade after the Commune. Complete free dom of combination was not won until 1884. In other European countries, as a rule, trade-union development has been coin eident with Socialist development.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Unionism in America In this study the author has assumed on the part Of readers some knowledge Of the numerous reasons for the existence Of the labor movement, and has not sought to justify or condemn the fact Of organization among the workers. Instead, an attempt has been made to describe and evaluate one type Of unionism, with its many varia tions, and to consider the direction in which organized labor seems to be moving.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coming Force: The Labour Movement Socialism and Trade Unionism are commonly regarded as distinct factors of modern industrial and social progress. A man may be both, it is true, but he IS assumed to be under the obligation if not the necessity of sustaining a certain duality of idea and motive. We commonly refer to the Trade Union and the Socialist sections of apolitical party which represents both sections and endeavours to interpret two distinct ideas by a single public policy. That, subject to certain real or assumed reservations, there is a common interest and a common motive is conclusively established.

Download or read book Young Folk s History of the War for the Union Classic Reprint written by John Denison Champlin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young Folk's History of the War for the Union HE writer has endeavored to give, in the following pages, an unprejudiced and impartial account of our great Civil War. The difficulty of such a task can scarcely be appreciated by one who has not himself made the attempt. The echoes of the contest have scarcely yet died away, and the bitter feelings born of it are still apt to warp the judgment and to unfit men of either part of our country to estimate calmly the motives and acts of their opponents. Yet he who would write a truth ful history of those times must necessarily divest himself of partisanship and lift himself above the plane of local prejudice. If the writer has failed to do this, it is not because he has not made an honest effort to weigh carefully the facts as narrated by both Northern and Southern writers, and to give each side its just dues. As the work is intended primarily for young folks, the author has aimed to give, in chronological order, a plain and concise account of the most striking events of the war, enlivened by sketches of the prominent men engaged in it, and by inci dents and anecdotes illustrative of it. Though some of the stories are possibly apocryphal, many of the characteristic ones which serve to throw light upon the period and its events have been retained without any attempt to prove their truth or falsity. The writer has consulted the best available sources, and it is believed that the narrative is as nearly correct in its details as any previous work. The language used is simple, adapted to the understanding of the young, and technical words and expressions, when unavoidably used, are fully explained. The'=-illustrations are intended to be equally trustworthy, having been selected not for mere picturesqueness, but for their value in elucidating the text. The larger part of them were drawn at the time and from the objects which they represent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
