About This Item
Wyoming, PA: Cro Woods (Publishing), 1969. Here is an interesting sidebar to the history of the secret Irish labor organization, the "mollies." Mr. McCarthy contends that there was no such organization; it was a fiction perpetrated by Franklin B. Gowen of the Reading Railroad to destroy the attempts to organize labor in the coal fields; he claims to have new evidence, presented here. A fascinating, and an uncommon book; certainly much of the original testimony was tainted. This is a Fine copy of the First Edition. Bright green cloth binding with gilt lettering on the spine and front cover. Clean text; 152 pages, with a two-page author biography in the rear. The dustjacket is unclipped; it shows some minor edgewear and a tear on the front cover. In an archival plastic protector Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Edition.. Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good Plus.
