Thick 4to. [4], viii, [1], 201 leaves, including several large folding hand-coloured manuscript tables, charts, diagrams (old scotch tape at folds as originally prepared). Green cloth, gilt lettering stamped on front cover (minor edgewear, rubbing), VG exemplar. An intriguing unpublished typescript manuscript of the American labor movement, focusing on the forces that effected the labor movement's growth, and analyzing those forces or factors. The author felt that not enough efforts had been made historically prior to World War II on applying the science of statistical analysis to labor unions, their membership, and the potential impacts on the economic life of the United States. In addition, he employs statistical analysis of the union membership by many different unions, trades, and occupations, in order to measure the strength of the labor movement, reducing dependence on the analysis of strike frequency, threats of strikes, elections, or other factors which can be indeterminate. Although he does draw upon the work of Barnett, "Growth of Labor Organization in the United States, 1897-1914," and Wolman "The Growth of American Trade Unions, 1880-1923," Current believed their numbers were flawed in the 19th Century, and includes a substantial statistical analysis of how he corrects those numbers, as well as those from other historical sources. Of additional interest are the two critical letters bound into the volume, with the first from famed Wisconsin labor historian Selig Perlman (1888-1959) which notes that Current "is entitled to credit for ingenuity, industry, and optimism. The valuable part of the manuscript is the statistical one. . . and full credit for debunking some of the loose estimates of membership at the peaks of 1836 and 1872." Perlman himself has received recently significant criticism regarding his racist views and limited understanding of the evolution of the labor movement which did not try to include race, status, ethnicity, or other sociological factors. Perlman's letter The second from W.D. Knight, notes that Current's study may impede on work underway for publication by Professor Moberly. Current (1923-2013), received his BA from the University of Wisconsin, later worked for Kennedy Economic Development in Oregon, and aided the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, wrote on the conditions of migrant workers in the Willamette Valley in the 1950s, and authored several works on philately and stamp cancels.

An important piece of a notable interview from the Civil Rights Movement era. In this interview, Malcolm X states: "The guiding goal of every Muslim is to faithfully serve and follow The Honorable Elijah Muhammad." Malcolm X connected with the Nation of Islam while in prison from 1947 to 1948. He wrote to the Nation's leader, Elijah Muhammad, who advised him to renounce his criminal past and move forward in his religious practice. The two kept regular correspondence over the following decade as Malcolm X's influence grew, both in religious spheres and in the Civil Rights movement. In the early 1960s, Malcolm X's devotion to the Nation of Islam and Muhammad was questioned as public issues arose. These issues included: Malcolm X's anger over the lack of Nation of Islam response to unprovoked LAPD violence against Muslims in 1962, allegations of Muhammad engaging in sexual affairs with young secretaries in 1963, and Malcolm X's censorship by the Nation of Islam following comments made on the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Malcolm X officially announced his split from the Nation of Islam on March 8, 1964, just one year after this article was published. He faced intimidation by the Nation of Islam and was heavily monitored by the FBI. Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, 1965, in New York City. Full title: Playboy Interview: Malcolm X / A Candid Conversation with the Militant Major-Domo of the Black Muslims (May 1963). Signed.
