Note 622 — Chapter VI · Attempts to Control Textbooks

In the discussion of trade-unionism objection was raised to the classification of unions as “business unionism—which is trade conscious but not class conscious, ... the friendly or uplift union which may be either trade or class conscious, and is conservative, ... ‘predatory unionism’ ... secret, either radical or conservative, class or trade conscious, and has two wings; ‘hold-up unionism,’ the corrupt type recently exposed in our great cities, and ‘guerrilla unionism’ which never combines with employers, but engages in a secret and violent warfare with capital ... a fourth and more objectionable type of unionism ... calls itself ‘revolutionary unionism.’ It may be either socialistic as was the Western Federation of Miners, or anarchistic like the Industrial Workers of the World....” Berry and Howe, op. cit., pp. 73-74.
