Mutual Interests of Labor and Capital [*SIGNED*]

(no dust jacket, probably as issued) [light handling wear, faint external soiling, minor bumping to lower corners, one page diagonally creased at top corner]. (B&W photo frontispiece) INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author, beneath his frontispiece portrait photo: "To my friend / Charles V. King / with the compliments of / the author. G W Cartwright." A little book with a big idea -- a "mission to bring labor and capital to a better understanding with each other." Chapter headings are: Socialism; Labor and Capital; Bacon and Beans; Freak Laws; Agitators and Demagogues; Regulation of Business by Law; German Efficiency and American Liberty. The author was a Fresno-based lawyer and one-time California State Senator who, under the aegis of something called the Commercial Federation of California, stumped the state in the period immediately after World War I, speaking often to crowds of "working men," delivering what seems like a pretty standard-issue anti-Socialist, anti-agitator, anti-government regulation message to the masses. Alas, he died in 1920, with his mission of reconciling labor and capital unfulfilled. Signed by Author
