This book is a published study on American trade-union activities by Dr. James B. Kennedy, Professor at the Economic Seminary of the Johns Hopkins University. The study is based on a survey of the beneficiary activities of national and international trade unions. While no attempt has been made to study in detail the various forms of mutual insurance maintained by local trade unions, frequent references are made thereto, inasmuch as the local activities have usually an important genetic connection with the national. The sources from which information has been secured are the trade-union publications in the Johns Hopkins University collection and important documents at the headquarters of different trade unions. These have been supplemented by personal interviews with prominent officials and labor leaders.
