“As the subtitle suggests, this volume is a history of the labor movement as expressed through workers’ organizations, rather than of labor conditions. It touches only incidentally upon wages, hours of work, and other features of the labor contract at different periods, or upon the details of labor legislation. Within these limits it covers the field. The author cites mostly secondary sources. The volume is well indexed and contains bibliographical appendixes.”—Am Hist R
