About This Item
[Boston]: George B. Hugo, 1909. First Edition. Octavo (23cm). Publisher's green cloth boards, lettered in black on front cover; 60, [1]pp. Ink presentation inscription from George B. Hugo to front endpaper, dated 1913. Mild cover soil and spotting; still a tight, well-preserved copy, VG or better. Final page reprints the "Declaration of Principles of the Employers' Association of Massachusetts - Organized for Law and Order and Industrial Peace. Full transcript of the debate, including occasional interjections from the audience. Since the volume was published at Mr. Hugo's expense, we may assume he thought himself the victor; though he notes in his foreword that "...they [the Socialists] submitted [their own] copy for publication, which, being incorrect and slackly handled, I refused to countenance...they, nevertheless, proceeded to publish it, ignoring the law in question, quite in accordance with established Socialistic tenets..." We have never encountered the version published by the Socialist Party Club of Boston, but we imagine that a side-by-side comparison of the two would prove instructive.
