Very Good. <br/><br/> This printing designated "20th thousand" is the earliest edition located at the Library of Congress or on OCLC as of August 2017. It is Heywood's only Boston-published work. There are undated editions of the "Fortieth Thousand." <br/> "YOURS OR MINE attempted to solve the problem of property ownership. It was an investigation of the basis upon which property was held and the reasons why it was inequitably distributed. The labor reform movement should seek 'fundamental equity' he said and not become another 'assault on vested interests' a 'raid of the have-nothings upon the have-somethings.' .Heywood believed that occupancy and use were the real valid titles to ownership despite the fact that society acquiesced in other claims to ownership in the belief that such deference performed some benefit to the 'general welfare.'" Martin James: MEN AGAINST THE STATE 1953 page 111. <br/> A graduate of Brown University Heywood was a public speaker author abolitionist suffragist and individual anarchist. He believed that small communities should govern themselves without a central authority. Interested in labor reform he was a founder of the Worcester Labor Reform League and a delegate to the National Labor Union. In addition to his other causes he believed in "free love" opposed marriage for subjecting women to sexual slavery and supported free choice for women in sexual relations birth control and abortion. Arrested three times and jailed twice under the Comstock laws he was not dissuaded from following his own path. See DAB; Martin at pages 105-125.
