Excerpt from A Trial Bibliography of American Trade-Union Publications: Prepared by the Economic Seminary of the John Hopkins University The publications have been classified in the bibliography according to the names of the organizations by which they have been issued. The method adopted has been to select from the name of the organization the word or words de scriptive of the trade, or, in the case of a federation, the part of its name ordinarily regarded as indicative of its function. Thus the Journeymen Bakers and Confectioners' Inter national Union has been inserted as Bakers and Con fectioners' International Union, Journeymen, and the American Federation of Labor as Federation of Labor, American. Wherever an organization has changed its name during its existence, the publications have been classi fied under separate headings corresponding to the different names, and cross references have been used to indicate the substantial unity of the different organizations. The chief classes of publications issued by American trade-unions and federations are (i) constitutions; (2) re ports oi convention proceedings; (3) official journals; (4) other documents, such as scales of prices, proceedings of conferences for collective bargaining, etc. The publications have been arranged under each trade-union in the order thus indicated.
