Soft cover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This August, 1923 edition of "The Wide World " magazine is in "fair" condition -- the interior text block still flexible, complete, easily read, and verging on "very good." HOWEVER, both front and rear wraps are detached (though still present.) That is to say, THEY'RE NO LONGER ATTACHED. Contains an 8-page account by renowned cowboy author and former Pinkerton detective Charles Siringo concerning an episode in which he went to work in February, 1895, posing as "Lee Roy Davis," to investigate the theft of $10,000 worth of gold from the Treadwell Mining Company, near Juneau, Alaska -- believed to have been an inside job. The Treadwell Mine, on Douglas Island, did indeed exist (1881-1922), and did indeed use a chlorination process to free the gold from its pyrite matrix, as described by Siriingo here. But most summary Siringo biographies make no mention of this successful Alaskan outing, possibly because it pales in comparison to his more high-profile work infiltrating Butch Cassisy's Wild Bunch, etc. (In 1892, Siringo was assigned to a case in the Idaho Panhandle for the Mine Owners' Protective Association. He assumed the identity of Charles Leon Allison, working as a shoveler in the Gem Mine. After14 months, which included the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho labor strike of 1892, Siringo's undercover work and testimony helped convict 18 union leaders. For 4 years starting in 1899, posing under the aliases "Charles L. Carter," "Chas. Tony Lloyd", and later as "Harry Blevins", Siringo successfully infiltrated outlaw Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch, working at times with Tom Horn, and closing the Pacific Train Robbery case, among others.) Single issue of the 1923 magazine here reduced from $100. Illustrated by W.C. Nicolson (illustrator). …

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an engaging and thought-provoking discussion on the formation and aims of working-men's associations. The author, a public speaker, bases his opinions on his extensive knowledge of the history of labor unions and his firsthand interactions with working-class communities. He emphasizes that unions are not inherently adversarial to capital, but rather seek to establish a fair balance of power between workers and employers. The author traces the evolution of these organizations, from their humble beginnings as mutual aid societies to their role in shaping labor laws and social policies. He also highlights the challenges faced by unions, such as corruption, internal divisions, and external opposition. Ultimately, the author argues that unions play a crucial role in promoting social justice and economic equality, and their continued relevance in the face of globalization and technological advancements. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
