The I. W. W.: A Study of American Syndicalism
Brissenden, Paul F. (Paul Frederick)
Industrial Workers of the World; Syndicalism
This bibliography makes no pretense of being exhaustive. The writer
has endeavored, however, to list all the source material he has been
able to lay hands on. But source material is very fugitive and no doubt
there are numerous omissions, especially of leaflets and pamphlets. In
general, secondary material has not been included unless it (1) deals
directly with the I. W. W. as an organization, (2) is published by the
I. W. W. or under its label, (3) is written by a person who has, at one
time or another, been a member of the I. W. W. or unless (4) it has
been cited in the foregoing pages.
There is a vast amount of periodical material dealing with the real
or alleged activities and escapades of the I. W. W.: its strikes,
free-speech fights, etc. There is also an extensive literature (in
English, French, Italian and other languages) devoted to special
aspects of syndicalism or I. W. W.-ism. Among the important topics
covered are the following: industrial _versus_ craft unionism;
parliamentarianism and political action; war and militarism; I. W.
W.-ism and (state) socialism; I. W. W.-ism and anarchism; syndicalist
tactics; direct action, _sabotage_, the General Strike, job control,
etc.; unskilled and migratory labor, etc., etc. A few items of this
vast secondary reference material have for obvious reasons been
included in this bibliography but the bulk of it has been omitted.
