About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Look at Labor

For much of his data Mr. Goodelman has wisely gone to the reports of the La Follette Civil Liberties Committee. I say wisely because these reports are the best available source materials on the industrial conflict in the United States. In them the testi mony of both sides is given in detail. The labor problem is laid bare in the evidence presented by workers and in'dustrialists. But though the true story is there, it is, of necessity, a long one, already running to over 50 volumes. Mr. Goodelman has per formed the important task oi condensing the material, organiz ing it, and presenting it so that he who runs may read and learn. He has added to the story the historical background and analysis necessary for a thorough understanding of the problem. N 0 text book stuff this - the pages are filled with live, concrete, day-to-day realities.

Perhaps the greatest virtue of the book is its simplicity. It is written for a select audience - the common man. There is no end of books on the labor problem. But never before, to my knowl edge, have so many of the elements of the picture been brought together with such clarity. Because he has told this important story so clearly and simply the workers of America owe Mr. Goodelman a vote of thanks.
