FOREWORD This little book is the joint work of a number of contributors, which has been compiled under the general editorship of Alexander Trachtenberg, Director of the Department of Labor Research of the Rand School of Social Science, and James Oneal, member of the National Executive Committee of the Socialist party. Benjamin Glassberg of the Rand School also rendered valuable assistance in the editorial work. Among the contributors to the volume are Morris Hillquit, David P. Berenberg, Evans Clark, Roger Baldwin, Solon DeLeon, Lewis Gannett, Benjamin Glassberg, Bertha Hale White, William Morris Feigenbaum, Alexander Trachtenberg, James Oneal and Irwin St. John Tucker. The book is the result of a request made by the National Executive Committee that the Research Department of the Rand School of Social Science co-operate in the preparation of material for it. The editorial committee believes that the book marks an advance over the bulky campaign books that have been prepared in the past, in that the material is much less in quantity, it is presented in a more popular style, statistics have been reduced to a minimum, while the information will prove of service to party speakers and editors and at the same time serve as a propaganda book among the workers. The editorial committee takes this opportunity to express its thanks to all those who have contributed to the volume and helped in any way to make its publication possible. 830074 Russia..
