With the assistance of Socialist organizers from Pennsylvania and Kentucky the West Virginia movement spread by 1908 to Huntington Parkersburg Clarksburg Charleston and a number of smaller communities throughout the state. By 1914 several thousand West Virginians were dues-paying members of the party's 86 local branches. As early as 1910 local Socialists began to elect candidates to office and in 1912 more than 15000 West Virginia voters cast their ballots for Socialist Eugene Debs for president. By 1914 West Virginians had elected Socialist Party candidates to more than 40 local offices including virtually the entire administrations of such widely scattered communities as Miami Eskdale Adamston Cameron and Hendricks. Star City near Morgantown would ultimately have the longest-lived Socialist municipal government in the United States. In addition Socialists controlled Cabin Creek Paint Creek and Washington districts in the Kanawha County coalfields and the Falls Magisterial District of Fayette County. To a great extent the progress that the West Virginia Socialists achieved on the electoral front was a reflection of the party's strategy of increasing class consciousness by working with existing unions to build the power of the labor movement. The party appealed to a fairly broad cross section of wage earners. There were important concentrations among skilled craftsmen in the pottery window glass machine tools cigar making and building construction trades. Socialists from these crafts and others held leadership positions in their own unions and in a number of the state's central labor bodies. Party members had special influence in the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assembly the Huntington Trades and Labor Assembly and most important of all the West Virginia State Federation of Labor. Socialists were especially popular with coal miners and were able by 1916 to control both District 29 and District 17 of the United Mine Workers in West Virginia. The steady growth of West Virginia's Socialist Party also owed much to the fact that many members of the middle class were attracted to the cause." from "e-WV: The West Virginia Encyclopedia Online a project of the West Virginia Humanities Council" retrieved at https://www.wvencyclopedia.org/entries/476 on 2/27/25.

19411284Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Communist Party n.d. 1941. No edition stated. <br /><br />Single sheet of newsprint folded to create four pages of approximately 8 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches 211 x 266 mm. <br /><br />Rare announcement of a speech by Communist Party Chairman William Z. Foster in Los Angeles a little more than a month after Germany invaded the Soviet Union. The announcement appears at the beginning of a text in which the Party calls for the U.S. to spare no effort in defeating Germany: "There can be no peace for the peoples of the world without the complete destruction of Hitler and Hitlerism. Hitler fascism stands exposed as the greatest and main enemy of the peoples of the world."<br /><br />Prior to Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union the Communist Party strongly opposed U.S. involvement in World War II maintaining that the fight between Germany and Britain was an imperialist war. Obviously that policy changed 180 degrees following the German invasion of the USSR. <br /><br />An interesting look at how the Communist Party's position drastically shifted after the German invasion of the Soviet Union. <br /><br />No institutional copies found in OCLC. None in commerce in February 2022. <b>RARE.</b><br /><br />CONDITION: Evenly toned pencil notation at top left corner of cover page couple small closed tears. Horizontal fold probably due to mailing.
