Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The I, W. W., A Study of American Syndicalism, Vol. 83
The negative or destructive items in the I. W. W. Pro gram are deliberately misconstrued and then stretched out and made to constitute the whole of i.w.w.-ism In reality they are only a minor part of the creed There are immense possibilities of a constructive sort in the theoretic basis of the I. W. W., but the Press has done its best to prevent the public from knowing it. And it must be said that the I. W. W. Agitators have themselves helped to misrepresent their own organization by their uncouth and violent language and their personal prede lection for the lurid and the dramatic. Even what the Wobbles say about themselves must be taken with a certain amount of salt. This matter of the currently received opininon of the I. W. W. Has been dwelt on be cause the writer believes that it is not alone important to know what an organization is like; it is also very important to know what people think it is like.
