A discussion of the rights of labor by some of their most important spokesmen. The result of some experience, reflection and observation. Swinton (1828-1921) had been managing editor of the New York Sun until he started his owner journal John Swinton's Paper in 1883. It became one of the most influential and interesting journals in the country. It played a significant role in the upheaval of the American working class in the mid 1880's. Swinton was active in the free-state movement in Kansas and later worked for the New York Times.
