A HISTORY OF ORGANIZED FELONY AND FOLLY: The Record of Union Labor in Crime and Economics

1923HCA-66741923. 104 pp. brown cloth spine w/ gray boards black lettering & framing; Book shows light wear to ends of spine w/ bumping & a little wear to corners of boards esp. bottom; darkening & some foxing to edges of page block w/ some light foxing to endnapers; prev. owner's gift note to front endpaper / The inscription to the book's front endpaper reads "With luck to Brother Fortman Wm. E. Reddin." There is in fact a William E. Reddin mentioned on page 71 as part of the section entitled "Canonization of Crime" in a list of officers and members of the Bridge & Structural Iron Workers Union "convicted of conspiracy in connection with more than 100 outrages committed over a period of five or six years." It reads: "William E. Reddin financial secretary and business agent Local No. 8 Milwaukee Wis.: Original sentence three years; released on bond; refused pardon by President and ordered back to Leavenworth by Circuit Court of Appeals." A reference to Reddin in old court documents I found available online seems to indicate that his offences related to bombings or "dynamiting" as it was referred to at the time. I have made a few small corrections in parentheses to words that seemed misspelled due to problems in OCR scanning: "CRIMINAL LAW § 242 FEDERAL OFFENSESREMOVAL ron TRIAL. I An indictment charging formation of a conspiracy December 1 1906. A to violate federal laws by shipping dynamite or nitroglycerine in inter·state commerce and continuous carrying on of the conspiracy until filing of the indictment specific shipments made in 1910 and 1011 being set forth showing times trains and places of shipment and destination is sufficient to warrant removal of accused as co-conspirators though they did not enter the conspiracy December 1 1906. Ed. Note.-For other cases see Criminal Law Cent. Dig. §§ 500 510; Dec. Dig. § 242. Application by the United States for a warrant to remove William E. Reddin and another to another state for trial. Application granted. Guy D. Goff U. S. Atty." Here is a snippet from an old newspaper: ". . . Dynamiting Gang of Iron Workers Union is Refused Review of Conviction by US . . . Paul J Morrin William E Reddin Michael J Cunnane Michael J Hannan Murray . . ." I'm speculating that Reddin may have been amused or flattered in some way that this obviously anti-union book had referenced him and for that reason signed copies at least one to friends and associates. I also found this from the "History of Ironworkers Local 8" by J. Jamakaya: ". . . federal indictments for conspiracy and transportation of explosives were issued against 42 ironworker leaders at both the International and local levels. One of those charged was Local 8 Business Manager Bill Reddin . . . Members of Local 8 now rallied around their own leader Bill Reddin. He was tried in federal court in Indianapolis found guilty and sentenced to three years in prison. An appeal was denied and he ultimately served two years and three months at Leavenworth prison. But members of Local 8 were convinced of Reddin's integrity. Just weeks before his trial they presented him with a gold watch and chain as a token of their 'esteem and confidence.' Upon his return to Milwaukee in 1916 he was greeted by a crowd of union supporters and Local 8 and the Building Trades Council held a public reception to celebrate. Reddin was immediately re-elected to office and served as Business Manager of Local 8 until his death in 1933." / . Inscribed. Hard Cover. Good /No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardcover
