Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of the Amalgamated Ladies' Garment Cutters' Union, Local 10, Affiliated With the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union
When the writer was approached last March by Officials of Local 10 and asked if he would consider writing a his tory of the union he hesitated. The volume was to be ready for delivery to the members by December 12. At the ute most this gave but eight months for research, interviewing members, digesting convention proceedings, consulting min utes of the union, pawing over files of Justice and the Ladies' Garment Cutter, reading numerous undated broadsides, leaflets, manifestos and other material. All this would have been formidable enough if the author could have given his full time to it, but this was not the case. Editing a weekly publication, he could give only his spare time each day to the book - Sundays and holidays more fully. Only an in tense interest in American economic history induced him to accept the assignment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
