About this Item
167pp. Early 20th-century buckram, gilt labels. Cloth somewhat dust soiled, labels slightly chipped. Paper shelf label on spine, institutional ink and blind stamps on titlepage. A few marginal pencil marks. Moderate foxing, heavy in places. Good plus. A scarce account of an 1827 trial held for a group of tailors in Philadelphia charged with conspiracy, and an interesting document of early labor disputes in the United States. The tailors had gone on strike to protest the firing of several employees who had demanded higher wages. The court found that their actions amounted to a conspiracy to harm commerce, and found them guilty, as was customary at the time under common law. ADAMS, RADICAL LITERATURE, p.43. COHEN 12215. SHOEMAKER 29056. Seller Inventory # WRCAM52994
