Annual souvenir of the Workers' International Industrial Union. The WIIU the labor union arm of the Socialist Labor Party was effectively formed in 1908 following the split of the SLP faction from the Industrial Workers of the World; the group identified itself as the 'Detroit IWW' until 1915 at which point the name was changed to Workers International Industrial Union a typically De Leonist mouthful!. The WIIU never throve; its membership probably never numbered above about 2500 workers a number that dropped quickly following the death of Daniel De Leon in 1915. By the 1920s the WIIU was an afterthought and the group was finally disbanded in 1925.<br /> <br /> Contents include articles by Michael Altschuler Herman Richter W.J. Dodge Henry Kuhn and others; literary contributions by Samuel French Fred H. Hartmann Richard Le Galienne William Morris and Walt Whitman; portraits and reproductions of artworks by Eugene Higgins Jan Styka and Eugene Chaperon. An attractive and rather uncommon American labor souvenir book; OCLC notes 6 physical locations for any issue 2018; the 1923 issue printed on clearly inferior paper probably a reflection of the Union's impending demise appears to be in the catalogue of only a single OCLC member institution NYPL.

58533Milwaukee: Socialist Party 1933. Single sheet 9" x 24" folded to 9"x6" 10pp. Mild toning to margins; Very Good. <br /> <br /> Transcript of an extemporaneous speech delivered by Milwaukee's Socialist Mayor Daniel Hoan answering attacks against his administration's decision to issue city-backed bonds here called "scrip" rather than borrowing cash to address its outstanding budget deficit. The bonds were issued in six series between 1933 and 1938 and have been credited with saving the city from bakruptcy during the worst years of the Great Depression. Hoan 1881-1961 served as Milwaukee's mayor from 1916 to 1940 still the longest continuous Socialist administration in American history. This a rather uncommon remnant of Milwaukee's socialist past; not noted in commerce with ten catalogued examples in OCLC member institutions. unknown

Faint dampstain to upper portion of text affecting the final 40 or so leaves; old waste-paper reinforcements to interior wraps; binding a touch rubbed at corners; still a crisp Very Good copy. <br /> <br /> An important edition of Blanc's most celebrated work among the most influential early theoretical works of Socialism described by one historian as ".a sensation - and ground-breaking. It had little in common with prior utopian socialist ideas . Louis Blanc was more clearly observant of the large-scale and deep social and economic changes wrought by the industrial revolution and ferocious in his conclusions.Blanc almost single-handedly converted the republican leaders and the rebellious Parisian masses to the socialist cause" see Gonçalo Fonseca; "Louis Blanc" at History of Economic Thought; on-line resource.<br /> <br /> The essay originally appeared in Blanc's own Revue du Progres in 1840 and was expanded and reprinted regularly over the following decade; the current edition the ninth was the first to appear after the Revolutions of 1848. This version contains further revisions and additions including most importantly the oft-borrowed phrase "Produra selon ses facultés et consommera selon ses besoins" generally translated into English as "From each according to their abilities; to each according to their needs" - an expression popularized by Marx but widely attributed to Blanc in the current edition of this work see "Notes From the Editors" Monthly Review v.66 no.3 July-Aug 2014.

190916299Boston: George B. Hugo 1909. First Edition. Octavo 23cm. Publisher's green cloth boards lettered in black on front cover; 60 1pp. Ink presentation inscription from George B. Hugo to front endpaper dated 1913. Mild cover soil and spotting; still a tight well-preserved copy VG or better. Final page reprints the "Declaration of Principles of the Employers' Association of Massachusetts - Organized for Law and Order and Industrial Peace. Full transcript of the debate including occasional interjections from the audience. Since the volume was published at Mr. Hugo's expense we may assume he thought himself the victor; though he notes in his foreword that ".they the Socialists submitted their own copy for publication which being incorrect and slackly handled I refused to countenance.they nevertheless proceeded to publish it ignoring the law in question quite in accordance with established Socialistic tenets." We have never encountered the version published by the Socialist Party Club of Boston but we imagine that a side-by-side comparison of the two would prove instructive. George B. Hugo unknown

19011202<p>London: Liberty and Property Defence League ca. 1901-05. First Edition. <br /><br />A wonderfully lurid warning against socialism by an organization devoted to laissez-faire economics.</p><p>The anonymous author suggests that socialism would lead to the breakup of families: "There would be no such place as home under socialism. Everyone would live in the State barracks. There would be no breakfasts dinners or teas with one's family at one's own table as in the first place meals in private would not be permitted as it would be against the socialist idea of equality.In other words everybody when hungry would be reduced to the necessity of repairing to the common swine-trough and eating the hogwash the State had placed therein. No roast beef turkey and plum pudding no smiling faces of children and friends around the table on Christmas Day. Indeed there would not be any Christmas Day under socialism."</p><p>This pamphlet carries no publication date but it appears to have been issued sometime between 1901 and 1905. It refers to "the late Mr. Oscar Wilde" who died in late 1900. In 1906 the Liberty and Property Defence League issued a book Socialism: Its Fallacies and Dangers which included the text of this pamphlet.</p><p>OCLC lists 8 institutional holdings under two different accession numbers: Syracuse Stanford Amherst Harvard Texas Wisconsin Historical Society Michigan and the London School of Economics.
