The Industrial History of Broken Hill

Beschreibung:

"In placing on record the industrial deeds of Broken Hill the author has accomplished a great deal for workingclass propaganda. Set forth in all their nakedness these historical facts lay a trail that may be easily followed by those entrusted with the task of continuing the undying work of the battlers of the "nineties". In such a book the niceties of literary expression and style are not the essential thing: this is a book of tremendous workingclass tragedies rather than of finely-constructed phrases. It is in effect a survey of the building of the wondrous Labor movement in Australia." --- This, 1965 facsimile of the 1918 Publication, Published, Wholly set up and Printed by Fraser & Jenkinson, 345 Queen Street, Melbourne. --- Ferguson: 11984 (original). --- Introduction by Allan Dale (Member of Labor's Volunteer Army Sunday School). --- Original red rexine boards, lettered gilt on spine (18.6 cm height), with facsimile of original green printed wrap.
