Excerpt from What's What in the Labor Movement: A Dictionary of Labor Affairs and Labor Terminology While some of the material contained in this volume has of necessity been gleaned from the current newspaper and periodical press, the compiler has for the most part depended upon the standard literature of the subject, and upon oflicial governmental reports and similar documents. In the American field, liberal use has been made of the exhaustive report on Labor Organizations, Labor Disputes and Arbitration, prepared by Messrs. Charles E. Edger ton and E. Dana Durand for the Federal Industrial Commission, and published in Volume XVII of the Report of that body. A num ber of the entries on trade unionism and the legal aspects of labor affairs in the United States are in large part either quoted or para phrased from that work. The Monthly Labor Review, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, has also been a very valuable source of information. In view of the comparative frequency with which the Staff Report of the Federal Commission on Industrial Relations is quoted in these pages, it may be well to recall that in this Report, according to the chairman of the Commission, no statement or conclusion of fact adverse to the attitude or interest of any person or group of persons is submitted, except as declared or assented to by the person or by the individuals comprising the group affected. While limitations of space make it impossible to give a complete list of the many other publications consulted and utilized by the compiler, mention must at least be made of the following, which have proved particularly useful: Adams, Thomas Sewall, and Sumner, Helen L. Labor Problems. New York: The Macmillan Company. Beard, Mary. A Short History of the American Labor Movement. New York: Harcourt, Brace Co. Carlton, Frank Tracy. The History and Problems of Organized Labor. Boston: D. C. Heath Co. Carlton, Frank Tracy. Organized Labor in American History. New York: D. Appleton Co. Clay, Henry. Economics: An Introduction for) the General Reader. New York: The Macmillan Company. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
