A History of Organized Felony and Folly; The record of Union Labor in Crime and Economics
New York: No Imprint, 1923. Octavo. 20cm. Original brown cloth spine over buff paper covered boards, titled in black to front board. 104pp. Scuffed and bumped to the corners, with the pasteboard showing through on the front corners, bumped to spine ends, with some spots of dicoloration to the boards; internally clean. A very good copy with some cosmetic wear.
A fiercely anti-union piece, collected from various contemporary WSJ articles (but without actually admitting to a publisher), deploring Union activities wholesale, and attempting to equate labor organization with terrorism. There are frequent references to "dynamiting", denunciation of Gompers, Mooney, Michael Boyle and a number of other prominent labor activists of the time, and the general suggestion that if everyone would just settle down and get used to being paid in peanuts for hazardous work so that those who subscribed to the WSJ could simply exploit people as much as they wanted...then everything would be greatly improved.
