"Nothing in the years of this turbulent decade has produced a greater stir than the labor developments of 1937. Cleavage of opinion and sympathy have been even sharper than in the presidential election of 1936. To thousands of people John L. Lewis of the C.I.O. is a magnificent patriot fighting for a noble cause--and to other thousands he wears horns and a tail. Opinion divides as sharply on the other leading figures of the labor world--William Green of the A.F. of L., Hutcheson of the Carpenters, Heywood Broun of the Newspaper Guild, Bridges of the West Coast. Minton and Stuart have produced in Men Who Lead Labor a series of candid biographies of these men in every day's news--men who are influencing thousands of destinies and the course of our national life. These biographical sketches are vivid and factual, written without fear or favor. In a very real sense this series of brilliant personal histories sketches also the inside story of labor's history during the past decades--a history that includes episodes of corruption and racketeering as well as honest struggle against rotten conditions."
