Item Description
6x8.25" hard cover with over 500 pages including 32 illustrations of famous leaders, historic events and demonstrations including strikes. Cover and spine include gold accent on lettering of title “Striking For Life Or Laborers Side Of The Labor Question.” Cover art features two vertical banner designs one showing “Eugene V. Debs” (as President of American Railway Union) and “J.R. Sovereign” (as Grand Master of Knights of Labor). Some gold worn off Debs’ image, but much remains and book otherwise has only very minor age traces. Book is by John Swinton (pictured on frontispiece) with “Articles Specially Contributed” by Gompers, Debs and John Hayes of Knights of Labor. Book was party inspired by the railway strike of 1894 but includes voluminous labor history from early years as well as extensive survey of 1894 labor issues. Fascinating history. Exc.
