CONTENTS
Chapter I
Marxian Economics and Its Influence on the Labor Movement.
Roots of industrial unionism are in economic doc-
trines of Karl Marx. Materialistic conception of
history and doctrine of the class struggle as set
forth by Marx. His labor theory of value. Theory
of surplus labor. Industrial unions almost invari-
ably subscribe to the doctrines of Marx. Acceptance
of the theory of class struggle leads to class-con-
sciousness. Class-conscious unions expect to take
possession of the industry. The industrial union is
the class struggle organized in the industries.

1. Analysis of the Industrial Situation.
Increasing relative poverty.
Concentration of
wealth and of the management of industry into the
hands of the few. This results from the working
class being stripped of the ownership of the means
of production, due to the invention of machinery.
Results of the development of machine industry as
they affect working men; as they affect employers.
These conditions breed the class struggle. The
craft union is inadequate to cope with trusts. In-
dustrial unions are necessary. De Leon's conception
of the political State.
