  • For All the People

    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.

    Toward a New Labor Law

    Toward a New Labor Law © 2003 Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute Toward a New Labor Law is a proposal of the Interim National Council of the Labor Party pursuant to the Workplace Bill of Rights resolution adopted by the Labor Party First Constitutional Convention in November 1998. The Labor Party circulated this proposal, initially drafted by Jim Pope, Peter Kellman, and Ed Bruno, to a large number of labor activists and union leaders and held discussions at a series of meetings across the country. In all, more than 200 labor activists and union leaders suggested changes. The present document reflects many of their ideas. It supersedes the version that was published in the Spring 2001 issue of Working USA under the title “Toward a New Labor Rights Movement.” Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute The Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute (DJDI) is a non-profit organization which carries out cultural and educational projects. The purpose of DJDI is to assist in the establishment of a society in which equality of opportunity and citizenship is assured, through providing education using the fullest range of methods, curricula and delivery systems. DJDI is involved in educational/cultural projects on health care, higher education, occupational health and safety and genetics. It has sponsored national radio call-in programs and the DC Labor FilmFest. DJDI is affiliated with the Labor Party. Labor Party The Labor Party, founded in 1996, is a national organization comprised of international unions and thousands of local unions (representing over 2 million workers), worker- supportive organizations and individual members. The Labor Party represents the concerns of working people on issues such as trade, health care, and the rights to organize, bargain and strike.

    A Rip in the Social Fabric: Revolution, Industrial Workers of the World, and the Paterson Silk Strike of 1913 in American Literature, 1908-1927

    i A RIP IN THE SOCIAL FABRIC: REVOLUTION, INDUSTRIAL WORKERS OF THE WORLD, AND THE PATERSON SILK STRIKE OF 1913 IN AMERICAN LITERATURE, 1908-1927 ___________________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ___________________________________________________________________________ by Nicholas L. Peterson August, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Daniel T. O’Hara, Advisory Chair, English Philip R. Yannella, English Susan Wells, English David Waldstreicher, History ii ABSTRACT In 1913, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) led a strike of silk workers in Paterson, New Jersey. Several New York intellectuals took advantage of Paterson’s proximity to New York to witness and participate in the strike, eventually organizing the Paterson Pageant as a fundraiser to support the strikers. Directed by John Reed, the strikers told their own story in the dramatic form of the Pageant. The IWW and the Paterson Silk Strike inspired several writers to relate their experience of the strike and their participation in the Pageant in fictional works. Since labor and working-class experience is rarely a literary subject, the assertiveness of workers during a strike is portrayed as a catastrophic event that is difficult for middle-class writers to describe. The IWW’s goal was a revolutionary restructuring of society into a worker-run co- operative and the strike was its chief weapon in achieving this end. Inspired by such a drastic challenge to the social order, writers use traditional social organizations—religion, nationality, and family—to structure their characters’ or narrators’ experience of the strike; but the strike also forces characters and narrators to re-examine these traditional institutions in regard to the class struggle.
