Magazine Praises
Rayback's Book
The. book, 'A History of Ameri
can Labor," by Joseph G. Ray
back, professor of American his
tory and head of the department
of labor education, is one of four
labor studies recommended in the
current edition of the Saturday
Review by Harry J. Carman, for
mer dean of Columbia College.
Carman, who served for five
years as a member of the New
York State Board of Mediation,
says that Rayback, like the au
thors of single-volume accounts
of the history of American labor,
refills the ground that has been
cultivated previously.
"Factually, this book contains
little in the way of additional
information about American la
bor," he continues, explaining
that Rayback's contribution is
rather in the manner in which
he has handled his factual infor
mation.
