[West Virginia] [Socialist Party] [Socialism]
Constitution of the Socialist Party of West Virginia. Amended by The State Convention of the Party In June 1912. And Approved By Referendum.
Huntington West Virginia: Issued by The State Committee. Printed by The Labor Star 1914. Pamphlet. Near Fine. 39 1 pp. Small pamphlet. 24mo 13 cm; saddle-stapled in self-wrappers. Front and rear covers are very lightly tanned and soiled else Near Fine. Rare. The Socialist Party Logo is printed on the front with globe two hands shaking and "Socialist Party – Workers of the World Unite" in a circular border. "Referendum" and "Amended by Referendum" dates listed up to July 1914. Printed within are the twenty-nine articles of this constitution of the Socialist Party of West Virginia pages 3-26 instructions on "How to Organize a Socialist Local or Branch" pages 27-33 and an index pages 35-39.<br /> <br /> "The first local branch of the West Virginia Socialist Party was established in Wheeling in 1901. 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. Issued by The State Committee. Printed by The Labor Star unknown

Williams, Wheeler, E Merrill Root, et al
Minutes of a Communist Cell on Art: Anonymous but Believed Unquestionably Authentic by Competent Authorities Reveals the Party's Tactic re: "Modern Art" Cover Title
Fullerton California: Education Information Inc. 1960. First Edition. <br /><br />Small Quarto 10 5/8 x 8 1/4 inches; 271 x 212 mm 21 pages in stapled illustrated wrappers <br /><br />A "second report on modern art" issued by Education Information Inc. an Orange County California anti-communist outfit. The main highlight: the purported minutes of a Communist cell comprising artists and writers: "PROGRAM: Remove all inspiring and beautiful art from all exhibits and substitute degenerate art in its place.Keep rational art out of all public exhibits -- allow only empty or distorted art to be shown in museums dealers' exhibits.Tie junk together and set it up as sculpture." <br /><br />There's plenty more in this vein. The woman who took these notes -- "a friend of truth and decency" -- supposedly mailed them to the right-wing sculptor Wheeler Williams who was active in anticommunist politics. Williams provides a Foreword to the notes saying he believes they're authentic. He says he shared the notes with colleagues and some former FBI undercover agents all of whom apparently believe the notes are genuine. <br /><br />Also in this pamphlet are articles on "subversion in art" lengthy excerpts from Williams's testimony to Congress on the Soviet uses of art and a piece by E. Merrill Root on conservative philosophy. <br /><br />This pamphlet is scarce. OCLC records around a dozen institutional holdings. <b>SCARCE</b>. <br /><br />CONDITION: Vertical fold throughout original mailing label and partially removed tape to lower wrapper extremities worn from handling staples a bit rusted.

<p>Robeson Paul W.E.B. Du Bois and Roscoe Dungee.</p><p>To the President and Congress of the United States of America Petition and Typed Letter Bearing Signatures of Robeson Du Bois and Dungee. New York: Communist Party USA 1947.</p><p><br />Single-page typed letter and two-page petition printed on rectos only. Each page 8 1/2 x 11 inches 215 x 280 mm.</p><p>A rare typed letter bearing signatures of Paul Robeson W.E.B. Du Bois and Roscoe Dungee asking recipients to sign a petition against banning the Communist Party USA. <strong>We believe the signatures were printed as does an autograph expert we consulted.</strong></p><p>In any case the three African-American leaders sprang into action after President Truman's Labor Secretary Lewis B. Schwellenbach told Congress that the Communist Party should be outlawed. Schwellenbach was concerned about Communist control and infiltration of labor unions and thought no Communist should be allowed to lead a union.</p><p>The letter is dated March 22 1947 and carries the address of 23 West 26th Street New York the Communist Party's headquarters at the time. The letter is aimed at African-American recipients: "This invitation to sign the petition is also being sent to several hundred other Negro leaders throughout the country."</p><p>According to the letter "It is clear that Labor Secretary Schwellenbach's proposal to suppress the Communist Party involves a flagrant negation of our constitutional Bill of Rights. It represents therefore a serious threat to the civil liberties of all minority groups." The authors urge recipients to mail back a postal reply card confirming they would sign the petition. The card is not present probably because it was mailed back to the Communist Party.</p><p>The petition which is also rare is addressed to the President and Congress urging them to reject Schwellenbach's "fascist-like proposal" to ban the Communist Party. The Party was not banned but the government regularly harassed and imprisoned its leaders in the 1940s and '50s.</p><p>Even though we believe the signatures on the letter were printed these materials are nonetheless rare. We have not found any institutional holdings of the letter or petition. None in commerce.</p><p>CONDITION: Pages lightly creased for mailing staple on petition badly rusted.

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. A Very Good copy. Los Angeles County Communist Party

Johnson, Olive M
May Day vs. Labor Day: A Comparison of the Social Significance of the Two Days of Labor Celebration
New York: New York Labor News Company 1936. First Edition. 12mo 7 1/4 x 5 inches; 183 x 126 mm 40 pages in stapled wrappers. <br /> <br />A spirited -- rollicking even! -- essay with attacks on "fakers" "impostors" "swindlers" and other enemies of the working class. <br /> <br />May Day is the true holiday of the proletariat the author says while Labor Day in the U.S. is fake because it "sticks to the hollow pretense of a brotherhood between capital and labor." <br /> <br />Issued by the radical Socialist Labor Party the pamphlet argues that American labor leaders have eagerly embraced the capitalist class. "The 'labor' leaders travel through the country in the grandest style stop at the 'swellest' hotels--often as not manned with non-union labor. Where they go liquor flows expensively and plentifully--sometimes swinishly." page 30 <br /> <br />The author Olive M. Johnson 1872-1954 was a longtime activist editor and pamphleteer for the Socialist Labor Party. <br /> <br />This pamphlet is peak agit-prop. SCARCE. <br /> <br />CONDITION: Light soling and creasing to wrappers. Pages clean and unmarked. A Very Good or better copy. <br /> <br /> <br/><br/> New York Labor News Company unknown

Mironov, Boris N Ben Eklof ( Translator).
A Social History of Imperial Russia 1700-1917
Boulder CO: Westview Press 1999. First English language edition. Hardcover. As New/issued without. 8vos; xxxiv 562; ix 389 pages maroon cloth in original shrinkwrap. Not x-library. Scarce. O.P. <br/><br/>This English translation contains an autobiography by Mironov which was not in the Russian edition. It details his anti-Marxism philosophy while a student in Leningrad. "The author has assimilated a large body of foreign scholarship primarily "new social history" produced by Anglo-American authors along with a sprinkling of more broadly European economic and demographic history from the 1970s and 1980s which is effectively incorporated into his own very deep empirical knowledge. . The reader does not find in this extensively researched account the standard Soviet answers to specific historical questions. Mironov has abandoned most Soviet cliches though he still assumes that laws of Russian history can be identified based on social science theory and quantitative analysis Elise Kimerling Wirtschafter." "This is a massterful work that provides other scholars with a wealth of useful information while confrontimg them with an argument that compels a response - William G. Wagner." Maps.
