Goler, Peter Roberts, and the Pennsylvania Child Labor Committee (the last photographic plates, though uncredited, almost certainly by Lewis Hine). Spargo (1876-1966) edited the socialist monthly The Comrade and published a number of socialist tracts before moving to the right during the First World War. In his later years Spargo was an outspoken advocate of free-market capitalism. The current work went through numerous reprintings; the first edition is somewhat uncommon in the trade, and is notable for the quality of its photographic illustrations.
