Excerpt from Syndicalism, Industrial Unionism and Socialism In December, 1912, and January, 1913, by invitation of one of the Brooklyn branches of the Socialist Party, I delivered a series of five lectures on Syndicalism. Some of the lectures I repeated in a number of other places. It had long been in my mind to discuss some of the more important phases of Syndicalist philosophy and tactics from the point of view of a Marxian Socialist who holds to the policies of the international Socialist movement, so that the invitation to deliver the lectures was welcome because it afforded a convenient opportunity for fulfilling my plan. By way of introduction to this little volume, I cannot do better than add to the foregoing account of its history the brief apologia with which I prefaced the first lecture. "As will presently appear, I am not a believer in Syndicalism. Much of my life has been spent in combating its principles. For that reason I shall be the more careful to keep all taint of partizanship from my statement of its principles and aims, however much I may afterward assail them.

Based on a 1908-1909 series of lectures delivered by John Spargo (1876-1966), a leading socialist writer of the period. Spargo admits that he disagrees with syndicalist views, but he does admit that syndicalism is better than capitalism. He presents the history of syndicalism, the rise of the IWW, what industrial unionism really should be and, socialism (which Spargo wants to be the ultimate goal). Appendices include Preamble of the IWW, an editorial from "Social Justice" on sabotage, the Jena Resolution on the General Strike, August Bebel on the General Strike, Kautsky on violence, and the Attitude of the French Syndicalists on Violence. Spargo, trained as a stonecutter, but became a lay Methodist minister, became identified with the socialists in England in early life, became a leader in the English labor movement; and served on the Executive Council of the Social Democratic Federation. Spargo immigrated to America in 1901 and was thereafter a longtime member of the National Executive Committee of the American Socialist Party. He regarded Bolshevism as an "inverted form of Czarism." He edited socialist periodical, The Comrade, became involved in child labor issues; helped promote laws on child and woman labor, and moved to Vermont in 1909.He remained active in socialist circles, but moved to the right over World War I, and with Samuel Gompers and George Creel, founded the American Alliance for Labor and Democracy, in favor of American involvement in the war. He gradually became outspoken advocate of free-market capitalism. His major publications include The Bitter Cry of Children (1906) and Karl Marx: His Life and Work (1909).
