Abstract:

His papers merely touch upon some of the points in his career: there is a diary for 1881 kept when he was in jail in Paterson, New Jersey for libel; some memorandum books; a few papers dealing with his work as legislative chairman for the New Jersey Federation of Trades and Labor Unions, and with his work as state inspector of child labor in 1884; and miscellaneous papers. Included are several letters from Samuel Gompers.
