Excerpt from A History of Organized Felony and Folly: The Record of Union Labor in Crime and Economics No attempt was made in the articles to discuss theoretical unionism as an economic agency, but an exhaustive research was made in order to bring together the many scattered records bear ing on the activities of union labor organizations in their relations to the rest of society. The articles were made up for the most part from official records, including records of courts, prisons, transcripts of official investigations, declarations of public officers, etc., the whole being condensed into the smallest possible com pass. It was the first attempt to make a com prehensive collection of such records, and they, in the aggregate, form a document of crime that it would be impossible to match in any other field or time of human activity.
