ILGWU. organized crime. ~ In this colorful and fascinating autobiography, David Dubinsky, President of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union for thirty four years, and A. H. Raskin, former chief labor correspondent for The New York Times and Assistant Editor of the Editorial Page have written of one man's struggle against the oppression of the garment industry's sweatshops of the 1920s and the emergence of labor as a real social and political force. It is a story of an idealist with a firm hold on reality, beginning with Dubinsky's youth in Poland, where his socialist activities caused him to be sent to Siberia, and recounting his escape from the Tsar's jails, his arrival in America and his first employment in the sweatshops of New York. After the tragic and fateful fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company, where 146 workers were killed, Dubinsky plunged again into a fight for social justice which would last a lifetime. He recounts the battles with the Communist Party, in interunion struggles, and his campaign against corruption within the ranks. His ambitions from an early age were not for himself but for the movement as a whole and in this dramatic story he recalls the journey of labor out of the dark ages into the light of social responsibility. Eventually he became the friend of Presidents, but never far from the surface was his outrageous "street kid" ebullience which gives this autobiography its special lively tone. David Dubinsky: A Life With Labor is an honest and important document in American labor history told by an irrepressible, warmly human and colorful man whose con tribution to the ideals of social jus tice is a proud part of the development of America.…
