Written by the secretary of the Red International of Labor Unions, this book is a splendid guide to an understanding of the world trade union movement and its history.

"For the first time,” says Earl R. Browder in his splendid introduction to this book, "there is available a comprehensive picture of the trade union movement from the world viewpoint, which deals not so much with the statics (the unilluminating details of organization and the million variations of program and problems) but rather with the vital, living influences at work within the labor movement, the tendencies, the relation of forces and, especially, with the tremendous struggle developing thru- out the world . . . ."

This book should be in the hands of every worker—in or out of the organized labor movement.

SHOPS IN 1926

BY

WM. Z. FOSTER

In this book one feels the contagious joy and the boundless faith of the Russian workers in the future of the Soviet Revolution.

A graphic and detailed story of a trip through Soviet industry, the factories of Leningrad, the mills of Moscow, and the mines of the Donetz basin.

Though it has the facts, it is not a dry statistical study, but the picture of what a traveler sees of the wondrous new life, the tremendous progress in improving the material conditions of the workers, the spirit of joyful labor pervading the Russian working class. All seen through a journey of the leading American militant trade unionist in a very recent visit.

COMPANY UNIONS

By ROBERT W. DUNN

(With Conclusion by WM. Z. FOSTER)

This booklet is indispensable to any trade unionist who wants to knéw what is happening in the labor movement of this country.

This shows what it means to the trade unions that the company unions in American industry embrace more than a third the number of the membership of the American Federation of Labor.

What caused company unions? What permits them to exist? All is told briefly and accurately. Besides, the author gives scores of interesting examples of how the company unions work, the details of their functions in speeding up the workers, allowing the workers to let off steam over small things but smothering their struggles for more wages, shorter hours and for real labor unions.

The most vicious part of all is the trend among trade union officials to "co-operate" with the bosses and transform the trade unions of workers into company unions. This must be fought against and this booklet tells exactly how to fight.
