Introduction The Wall Street Journal, in the fall and early winter of 1922, published a series of thirty-two articles on the record of union labor in the United States during the past twenty years, and, at the solicitation of many readers, these articles are now assembled and issued under chapter headings in the present form. No attempt was made in the articles to discuss theoretical unionism as an economic agency, but an exhaustive research was made in order to bring together the many scattered records bear- ing on the activities of union labor organizations in their relations to the rest of society. The articles were made up for the most part from official records, including records of courts, prisons, transcripts of official investigations, declarations of public officers, etc., the whole being condensed into the smallest possible com- pass. It was the first attempt to make a com- prehensive collection of such records, and they, in the aggregate, form a document of crime that it would be impossible to match in any other field or time of human acti\dty.
