Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating exploration of labor strikes in the United States at the turn of the 20th century and the rise of the Socialist Party in response to labor strife. The author analyzes the role of the Socialist Party in supporting and organizing striking mine workers and the violent suppression of these strikes by mine owners and the state. The author argues that this violent response by the state contributed to the growth of the Socialist Party and the growing demand for workers' rights and economic equality. The book also examines the role of gender and violence in the labor movement, particularly the experiences of women who were often excluded from traditional labor organizations and faced unique challenges in their fight for economic justice. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of the history of the labor movement and the role of the Socialist Party in shaping American politics and society.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book elucidates the history and development of industrial workers of the world and their battles against capital during the early 20th century. The author argues that the use of violence by these workers, though ultimately unsuccessful, was a necessary tactic to draw attention to their conditions. The author further argues that while violence is ineffective when facing organized capital, political action is the only way that change can be enacted on a large scale. In the end, his work sheds light on the struggle between labor and capital during the early 1900s and the strategies these groups employed to fight against each other.

A pamphlet issued by the New York Call, the daily Socialist newspaper affiliated with the Socialist Party of America, reprinting the Welsh-Slater and Stivers Acts that were passed by the New York legislature and signed into law by Governor Whitman (they became a precursor to teh federal Selective Service Act of 1917). This series of unprecedented "militarist laws" were passed during the "Prepardness Movement" leading up to U.S. entry into WWI and mandated military training for all boys age 16-19. There were also implications for labor unions included in the Stivers Act, which allowed the drafting of any worker age 18-45 and the ability for the state militia to suppress strikes. The American Union Against Militarism, which was founded in late 1915 and was the forerunner of the ACLU, was the primary pacifist organization that opposed the laws, and Darwin J. Meserole, President of the New York branch contributes an introductory essay titled, "The Challenge Must Be Met!" Also included is an essay by New York Call editor, Chester Wright, "If You Do Not Want Chains, Then Join the Fight for Liberty." The rest of the pamphlet reprints the various acts. Stapled wrappers, 16 pp. Stamp of notable Socialist organizer Fred Schwartkopf to the top of the front wrapper. Wrappers split along the spine below the first staple, wear and creasing, a good copy of a scarce pamphlet. No record for this title in WorldCat, although a copy exists in the records of the American Union Against Militarism at Swarthmore. Postal authorities often stopped circulation of the AUAM's publications, so it's possible that this title was among those proscribed.…
