I kept my source list because I had previously written a bibliography on Washington State Labor covering the period from 1885- 1935. This bibliography had helped me write my dissertation, and I thought that I might add the new sources to a second addition at some point in the future.2 After completing the article, I donated my source list to the Northwest Collection in Suzzallo Library, at the University of Washington3. More recently, I had also worked with Prof. Robert E. Burke and Prof. Richard Lowitt in publishing their bibliography on the New Era and New Deal periods and had become interested bibliographies themselves.4 Afterwards, I found myself consulting these bibliographies at frequent intervals while working on other projects. I noticed that they included sources beyond the subject matter of their titles. Not only did they include sources pertaining to events occurring before and after the war; it also included a far broader range of subjects than labor politics. I began to think that I should publish this information in a separate bibliography. Latterly, I have found that the original typewritten version still in my possession had become illegible through age and the electronic version inaccessible through obsolescence. My original personal computer died many years ago; my current personal computer no longer can read either the original 5.25” floppy diskettes or the original C/PM operating system. In short, I found that I could no longer use my source list effectively. Luckily, I was able to obtain a usable copy from the Northwest Collection of Suzzallo Library at the University of Washington. Hoping to make the information it contained more widely available, I have therefore reproduced the original document using optical character recognition software and significantly edited the manuscript by correcting typographical errors, supplying new information, and annotating many of the entries. I have also added unpublished as well as published sources and provided a much needed index. I have also included a few online sources which may be of interest to some researchers. I hope that this new version proves more useful and longer lasting than the original. I wish to offer my sincerely thanks to the University of Washington Libraries for giving me access to my original manuscript source list which has made this book possible.

Page 10 WASHINGTON STATE LABOR FROM THE GREAT DEPRESSION TO THE COLD WAR Page 11 WASHINGTON STATE LABOR FROM THE GREAT DEPRESSION TO THE COLD WAR INTRODUCTION I intend this bibliography as a guide to historical research in the Washington State labor history from the Great Depression to the Cold War. I have taken the passage of the Wagner Labor Relations Act in 1935 as my beginning point; I end with the beginning of the Cold War in 1948. This bibliography directs researchers toward historical resources, both published and unpublished, including manuscripts, theses and dissertations, articles, books, newspapers and periodicals, and websites, relating to the workers, labor organizations, and issues, activities, and events that relate to workers in Washington State during this period. I have mined numerous resources to write this bibliography, including both published and unpublished sources. However, this bibliography is not an equal opportunity resource. It is fair to say that I have relied most heavily upon the resources of the University of Washington library and the result is skewed in favor of Washington State labor history. Surprisingly, however, I have found that the sources also tell a larger story. To properly the necessary resources to tell the Washington State labor story, I found that I had to include resources bearing on the wider Pacific

BOX 218 MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA 94042-0218 http://www.slp.org/nyln.htm Dave Beck: Labor Merchant The Case History of a Labor Leader By Eric Hass ERIC HASS (1905–1980) 1. A Labor Merchandising Concern “Labor organization is a business; like any other business, it is run primarily to produce a living for those who make it their vocation.” —Wall Street Journal, March 9, 1939. To start a business, the first thing you must have is capital. If it is a factory, you need capital for machinery, plant space and raw material. If it is a mine, you need capital for mining equipment. If it is a store, you need capital for merchandise and rent. And, if it is any of these, or any other kind of business you can name—except one—you must have capital to lay out for labor as well as for other things. The lone exception is a “union” business. A labor leader can go into the “union”—labor-merchandising—business with very little. He gets his stock-in- trade—workingmen and workingwomen, the human embodiment of labor power—free, gratis and for nothing. If things go right, and enough employers are lined up and contracts signed, thereby giving the labor leader control of jobs, the money rolls in.

  • For All the People
    Praise for For All the People John Curl has been around the block when it comes to knowing work- ers’ cooperatives. He has been a worker owner. He has argued theory and practice, inside the firms where his labor counts for something more than token control and within the determined, but still small uni- verse where labor rents capital, using it as it sees fit and profitable. So his book, For All the People: The Hidden History of Cooperation, Cooperative Movements, and Communalism in America, reached expectant hands, and an open mind when it arrived in Asheville, NC. Am I disappointed? No, not in the least. Curl blends the three strands of his historical narrative with aplomb, he has, after all, been researching, writing, revising, and editing the text for a spell. Further, I am certain he has been responding to editors and publishers asking this or that. He may have tired, but he did not give up, much inspired, I am certain, by the determination of the women and men he brings to life. Each of his subtitles could have been a book, and has been written about by authors with as many points of ideological view as their titles. Curl sticks pretty close to the narrative line written by worker own- ers, no matter if they came to work every day with a socialist, laborist, anti-Marxist grudge or not. Often in the past, as with today’s worker owners, their firm fails, a dream to manage capital kaput. Yet today, as yesterday, the democratic ideals of hundreds of worker owners support vibrantly profitable businesses.

  • A Brief Introduction to the Saga of the Labor Movement for Emerging Militants
    A Brief Introduction to the Saga of the Labor Movement for Emerging Militants This piece is the text of a talk given to the Democratic Socialists of America Lower Manhattan Branch’s Political Education Working Group on December 4, 2019, serving as introduction to “Bernie and Labor” part of its series “Why Bernie?” The picture on the right represents the Haymarket Riot, Chicago, May 4, 1886, when police attacked a labor demonstration demanding the eight-hour day and protesting the May 1 disruption of an earlier protest march. The massacre was one of many attacks by police against labor initiatives. I have ten minutes to present the briefest of introductions on some few salient points pertaining to a history of workers’ struggles in the U.S. Good luck to that! Offering a systemic view of the nearly 200 years of domestic labor struggles, triumphs, tragedies and legacies in just one sixth of an hour is akin to tackling the briefest histories of the Roman Conquests, resurrection in the fractured Holy Roman Empire and its homicidal if not its farcical reiteration in the Nazi Thousand Year Reich that mercifully lasted just 12 years. But like a centurion, I shall soldier on. What follows are some basic if necessarily sketchy assumptions. First, we need to understand that most if not all of labor’s key breakthroughs, including the huge industrial union upsurges that followed immediately after World War I and then repeated so magnificently in the 1930s, were not primarily the product of either progressive politicians such as FDR and his brain trust or even talented, foresighted labor leaders like John L.

    You CAn not Bite Kiss the Hand You Cannot Bite Pio Abad I have thought since about this lunch a great deal. The wine was chilled and poured into crystal glasses. The fish was served on porcelain plates that bore the American eagle. The sheepdog and the crystal and the American eagle together had on me a certain anesthetic effect, temporarily deadening that receptivity to the sinister that afflicts everyone in Salvador, and I experienced for a moment the official American delusion, the illusion of plausibility, the sense that the American undertaking in El Salvador might turn out to be, from the right angle, in the right light, just another difficult but possible mission in another troubled but possible country. —Joan Didion1 SEACLIFF At my mother’s wake two years ago, I found out that she was adept 1.

My parents were both working as labor organizers when they met in the mid-70s. Armed with Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals (1971) and Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1968), they would head to the fishing communities on the outskirts of Manila to assist fishermen, address their livelihood issues and educate them on the political climate of the country. It was this solidarity work and their eventual involvement in the democratic socialist movement that placed them within the crosshairs of Ferdinand Marcos’ military.

Young This dissertation examines the causes, context, and legacies of the 1927-1928 Colorado coal strike in relationship to the history of labor organizing and coalmining in both Colorado and the United States. While historians have written prolifically about the Ludlow Massacre, which took place during the 1913- 1914 Colorado coal strike led by the United Mine Workers of America, there has been a curious lack of attention to the Columbine Massacre that occurred not far away within the 1927-1928 Colorado coal strike, led by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).

LOCAL NO. 7 Accession No. 3927-001 GUIDE HISTORY The Cannery Workers' and Farm Laborers' Union was organized June 19, 1933 in Seattle to represent the primarily Filipino-American laborers who worked in the Alaska salmon canneries. Filipino Alaskeros first appeared in the canneries around 1911. In the 1920s as exclusionary immigration laws went into effect, they replaced the Japanese, who had replaced the Chinese in the canneries. Workers were recruited through labor contractors who were paid to provide a work crew for the summer canning season. The contractor paid workers wages and other expenses. This system led to many abuses and harsh working conditions from which grew the movement toward unionization. The CWFLU, under the leadership of its first President, Virgil Duyungan, was chartered as Local 19257 by the American Federation of Labor in 1933. On December 1, 1936 an agent of a labor contractor murdered Duyungan and Secretary Aurelio Simon.

  • Psychological and Personality Profiles of Political Extremists
    Psychological and Personality Profiles of Political Extremists Meysam Alizadeh1,2, Ingmar Weber3, Claudio Cioffi-Revilla2, Santo Fortunato1, Michael Macy4 1 Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research, School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA 2 Computational Social Science Program, Department of Computational and Data Sciences, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA 3 Qatar Computing Research Institute, Doha, Qatar 4 Social Dynamics Laboratory, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA Abstract Global recruitment into radical Islamic movements has spurred renewed interest in the appeal of political extremism. Is the appeal a rational response to material conditions or is it the expression of psychological and personality disorders associated with aggressive behavior, intolerance, conspiratorial imagination, and paranoia? Empirical answers using surveys have been limited by lack of access to extremist groups, while field studies have lacked psychological measures and failed to compare extremists with contrast groups. We revisit the debate over the appeal of extremism in the U.S. context by comparing publicly available Twitter messages written by over 355,000 political extremist followers with messages written by non-extremist U.S. users. Analysis of text-based psychological indicators supports the moral foundation theory which identifies emotion as a critical factor in determining political orientation of individuals. Extremist followers also differ from others in four of the Big
