First Edition
Newsletter of lumber industry laborer, Tom Scribner, who began his crusade for organizing unemployed workers, farmers and laborers of all trades under the banner of the independent farmer-labor party in 1960, with an eponymous 'unemployed worker' constitution, with preamble, dating from 1958 as the fortifying resolution of his organizing efforts. Editor Tom Scribner was an itinerant worker trailing up and down the west coast, mainly in California, publishing as a devout member of the IWW and later resident of Santa Cruz, where he'd play the saw as a musical instrument downtown. His likeness would become memorialized and cast in bronze as a statue there in the early 1980s. Very scarce. Very good condition, some wear to newsletters noted with minor creasing to corners and toning to leaves, faint oxidation marks, light creases from letter folds. Single-stapled series of 4 letter-sized mimeographed leaves, printed to rectos only and a cover double-sided leaf of imagery from the Vanguard magazine with verso subscription info.
