‎[Arizona - Mining - Labor Strike] DJ Evans D J‎

‎Typed Letter Signed detailing a miner's death at the United Verde Mine strike of 1917‎

‎Chicago 1917. Very Good. Chicago: 1917. Typed letter signed with postally-used envelope from a David J. Evans to "Aunt Ann" dated May 31 1917. Mail folds to letter else Very Good. <br /> <br /> The letter details the death of a Wallis in the immediate aftermath of the declaration of a strike at the United Verde Mine in Jerome Arizona. Evans reports "Wallis had been working in a tunnel and from accounts received the strikers had set fire to the station building of the rail-road. At the fire the men inside the tunnel Wallis probably in the lead on account of his fleetness of foot rushed out and up a narrow path single file towards the burning building. Four men were shot two of whom were killed Wallis being one of the unfortunate ones."<br /> <br /> The May strike highlighted a rift between the International Union of Mine Mill and Smelter Workers MMSW and the Industrial Workers of the World IWW. This strike was called by the MMSW and was initially supported by the IWW until they were rebuffed and called for a larger general strike later in the summer. A sad but illuminating document of mining and labor history. . unknown‎

‎[COLD WAR - RED SCARE] [HOLLYWOOD FILM STRIKE] PRICE, Gene (illus); Jack Kistner, text‎

‎The Story of the Hollywood Film Strike in Cartoons!‎

‎Los Angeles: Local 644 International Motion Picture Painters Union 1945. First Edition. Sole printing. Quarto 11" x 8-1/2". 189 unnumbered mimeographed sheets including title page and introduction printed recto-only chiefly illustrations; post-bound at left margin. Unprinted card rear cover wrapper possibly later; no front cover wrapper else complete and probably as issued. Minor edge-creasing and wear; faint marginal stain to final 15 leaves well away from printed area; evidence of old adhesion to cover page not affecting legibility; Very Good and quite well-preserved especially considering the volume's inherent fragility. <br /> <br /> A bound volume presumably one of very few produced collecting all of the circa 185 issues of "The Picket Line" a cartoon broadside distributed daily to striking workers during the 1945 Hollywood Film Strike which began in March 1945 following a walkout by the Hollywood local of the International Set Decorators Union. A number of sympathetic locals joined the strike but others - including the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and the Screen Office Employees' Guild - refused to honor the picket line leading to a lockout that lasted more than five months. <br /> <br /> The cartoons draw on topical events often commenting humorously on developments of the day before. A recurring comic character is a sardonic rat an avatar for the union scabs who refused to join the strike weakening the position of labor and paving the way to the violent events of October 5 1945 the so-called "Hollywood Black Friday" when strikebreakers were brought in to violently suppress the strike fire-hosing and clubbing dozens of strikers in front of the gates of Warner Brothers Studios. All of these events are pictured here with the upbeat mood of the drawings growing increasingly dark following the events of Black Friday. The cartoons are preceded by a one-page introduction giving the background of the strike and tracing its history through its conclusion which came when the strikers finally called a truce on October 31st. A rarely-seen relic of one of the darkest incidents in Hollywood labor history. Rare: OCLC notes three copies MSU UM and UCLA; not generally seen in commerce. unknown‎

‎[General Strike for Peace] [Jackson Mac Low]‎

‎Collection of Ephemera on the General Strike for Peace‎

‎New York: New York Committee for the General Strike for Peace 1961-1963. <br /><br />A collection of nine rare leaflets and letters concerning the General Strike for Peace which in the early 1960s sought a ban on the testing of nuclear weapons as well as global disarmament. This material belonged to Jackson Mac Low 1922-2004 poet performance artist and peace activist.<br /><br />Eight of these items were issued by the New York Committee for the General Strike for Peace for which Mac Low was one of the organizers. Julian Beck and Judith Malina of the Living Theatre were also organizers. The collection also includes a letter from the Committee for Nonviolent Action. <br /><br />The General Strike for Peace consisted of three different phases the first of which took place in early 1962 followed by additional calls to strike in November 1962 and then again in May 1963. <br /><br />On January 29 1962 more than 300 people marched down Fifth Avenue in New York calling for a worldwide general strike for peace. The New York Times was there: "The demonstrators' appearance ranged from button-down to beatnik with the latter somewhat more conspicuous in the heart of the fashionable shopping district. Pete Seeger and Gil Turner folk singers strummed songs against war and against civil defense." The New York Times January 30 1962 page 3.<br /><br />This collection includes material from each of the three phases of the General Strike for Peace. All appear to be photomechanically reproduced including the letters:<br /><br />--Three leaflets calling for a general strike from January 29 to February 4 1962. Two of these leaflets are identical titled general strike while a third titled general strike for peace appears to be an updated version with a fuller list of members on the Action Committee as well as the addition of International Sponsors. Each is a single sheet folded to create 4 pages measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches when folded.<br /><br />--A Dear friend letter from the Committee for Nonviolent Action expressing sympathy for the General Strike but saying that the Committee could not undertake organizationally to work on this project. Single sheet measuring 11 x 8 1/2 inches.<br /><br />--A leaflet This is the SECOND CALL for a WORLD WIDE GENERAL STRIKE FOR PEACE set for November 5 to November 11 1962. Single sheet folded to create 4 pages measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches when folded.<br /><br />--A Dear Friend letter from the New York Committee explaining the second call. The letter is signed by Donn Reed who was an antiwar activist. Stapled to the letter is a leaflet with the same text as the example listed immediately above although in a different color. Letter: Single sheet measuring 11 x 8 1/2 inches. Leaflet: Single sheet folded to create 4 pages measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches when folded.<br /><br />--A leaflet general strike announcing a worldwide general strike for peace for May 8 1963. Single sheet folded to create 4 pages measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches when folded.<br /><br />--A leaflet crisis strike seeking support for an emergency general strike for peace in times of crisis. Undated. Printed recto only. Single sheet measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches.<br /><br />Provenance: From the collection of poet composer and performance artist Jackson Mac Low one of the organizers of the New York Committee. <br /><br />This material is rare. OCLC shows only one institutional holding at Northwestern for "This is the SECOND CALL." of 1962. The University of Kansas holds a copy of "general strike" of 1963. We assume there are other examples held by institutions probably in ephemera collections that have not been fully catalogued.<br /><br />A rare collection of General Strike material formerly owned by one of the organizers of the New York Committee the poet and performance artist Jackson Mac Low. <br /><br />CONDITION: Some modest creasing and soiling. Overall Very Good or better copies. New York Committee for the General Strike for Peace‎

‎Poster: Strike "87" - Support the Real Bears‎

‎Chicago: S.i. 1987. Original poster with text and team photo offset printed on white stock measuring 42.5cm x 28cm 16.75" x 11". A Fine copy. A relic of the month-long NFL players' strike during the 1987 season. During the brief period that NFL players went on strike owners were forced to hire replacements to come in and play the games; in Chicago those players were known as "the Spare Bears" who went 2-1 in the three games they played during the strike. The present poster possibly produced by the Chicago NFL Players Association draws attention to the strike in hopes of supporting the "Real Bears." Not separately listed in OCLC though we note an example held by the Chicago Public Library in their Chicago City-Wide Collection. S.i. unknown‎

‎Camera Work. Numbers 48 & 49/50. Edited by Alfred Stieglitz‎

‎N. Y.: Camera Work 1916-1917. First only editions of the final two issues of Alfred Stieglitz's monumental photographic periodical Camera Work including in number 48 the earliest appearance in print of the work of Paul Strand and in number 50 an issue entirely dedicated to the work of Strand. Limited to 500 copies printed. "The work of Paul Strand was the first photography to excite Stieglitz in a long time. He saw Strand as practicing a truly photographic version of the kind of forceful representation he found in painters like Picasso and Matisse and he presented Strand's work as a clean break even changing the time-tested production methods of Camera Work Strand's photogravures were printed on thicker paper and with different inks." - Roth 101 pp. 42-43. Issue No. 48 includes six photographs by Strand six halftones by Steiglitz of installations at his gallery 291 and single photographs by Frank Eugene Arthur Allen Lewis and Francis Bruguiere. Issue No. 49/50 includes eleven original photogravures all after work by Strand among them "The White Fence" "Abstraction Porch Shadows" and "Abstraction Bowls". One cannot overestimate the importance of these two issues of Camera Work. As Milton Brown has noted the appearance of Strand's portrait series herein "was a revelation. Even today they are strikingly powerful images; they were then a new stage in photographic realism. The close-up views and cropping of negatives cut off the subjects from their environment sometimes even breaking the frame and riveting attention entirely on the physiognomic and psychological revelation of individuality character and social condition. . . . Strand's experiments with abstraction and the machine were his unwitting contribution to the history of photography: the portraits basic to the rest of his development are the first clear expression of his own aesthetic philosophy." - Milton W. Brown "The Three Roads" in Paul Strand: Essays on His Life and Work. Edited by Maren Stange. Aperture 1990 p. 29. Although not noted in the volumes these two issues of Camera Work came from the collection of James Johnson Sweeney at various times the Curator of Painting and Sculpture at MOMA the second Director of the Guggenheim Museum and the Director of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. . Among the most sought-after issues of Camera Work these two numbers are complete and in remarkable condition. The plates are clean free of foxing and creasing. The text blocks are clean bright and sound largely unopened. A bit of offsetting from plates to the facing pages as usual somewhat more pronounced in No. 49/50 but not affecting the images themselves. Wrappers are clean with only very light wear; the hinges are firm and there is no creasing or darkening of the spines. Overall both issues are in near fine and extremely scarce thus. . 2 volumes small folio illustrated with 9 and 11 original photogravures respectively original printed wrappers.
