-- A Political Guide for the Workers Socialist Party Campaign Book 1920 Prebared by the Department of Labor Research, Rand School of Social Science A. L. Trachtenberg, Director Published by The Socialist Party of the United States 220 South Ashland Boulevard CHICAGO, ILL. 1920 CoPYnIoAT 1940 BY Tm SOCIALIST PARTY OF TAE UNITED STATES CHICAGO, ILL. Printed in the U. S. A. 7 FOREWORD %F This little book is the joint work of a number of con- tributors, which has been compiled under the general editorship of Alexander Trachtenberg, Director of the Department of Labor Resewch of the Rand School of Social Science, and James Oneal, member of the National Executive Committee of the Socialist party. Benjamin Glassberg of the Rand School also rendered valuable assistance in the editorial work. Among the contributors to the volume are Morris Hill- quit, David P. Berenberg, Evans Clark, Roger Baldwin, Solon DeLeon , Lewis Gannett, Benjamin Glassberg, Bertha Hale White, William Morris Feigenbaum, Alex- ander Trachtenberg, James Oneal and Irwin St. John Tucker. The book il the result of a request made by the Na- tional Executive Committee that the Research Depart- ment of the Rand School of Social Science co-operate in the preparation of material for it. The editorial committee believes that the book marks an advance over the bulky campaign books that have been prepared in the past, in that the material is much less in quantity, it is presented in a more popular style, statistics have been reduced to a minimum, while the information will prove of service to party speakers and editors and at the same time serve as a propaganda book among the workers. -

In some of them, particularly "Socialist Documents" and "Socialism and Government," the writings used are mainly of collective, rather than individual autborship; whlle the EUstorical Sketch is the composition of the editor. To the selections given, the editor has added explanatvry and connecting paragraphs weldin~ the fragments into a co herent whole. Too aim is the ma mg together in conci e and systematic form, of what has been most clearly and pertinently said, either by individual Socialist writers or by committees speaking Ior the party as a whole, on al1 of the main phases of Socialism. In their finished form bey might, with some appropriate ness, be termed mosaics: each pamphlet is an arrangement of parts from many sources according to a unitary design. -

KEINARD PRICE, FIVE CENTS Published by the NEW YORK LABOR NEWS COMPANY ~6 New Reade St., New York City Entered at New York Post Office as Second Class Matter. WHAT IS CAPITAL? By FERDINAND LASSALLE. The Socialist proceeds upon the sci entific plan that nothing but confusion can lI'esult from discussion unless there is a rigid adherence to the proper use of Q;erms, and in the Organized Socialist Movement throughout the world the terms of Socialist Science are defined in as uniform a manner as language dif ferences permit. Inasmuch as the central ~emand of Socialism is that Capital be collectively owned, it is especially necessary for aD 'understanding of Socialis-ID that absolute clearness be had in the use of this term. In "What Is Capital7" Lassalle draws the distinction between wealth that is Capital and wealth that is not Capital. He first punctures several bourgeois definitions of Capital, then gives the characteristics of the principal industrial systems from Slavery through Feudalism to Capitali"m, and traces clearly the growbh or Capital from its €arliest historical appearance. The following summary of the book will be useful to the student: CONTENTS. -

Copyright 2014 Janine Giordano Drake BETWEEN RELIGION AND POLITICS: THE WORKING CLASS RELIGIOUS LEFT, 1880-1920 BY JANINE GIORDANO DRAKE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee Professor James Barrett, Chair Professor David Roediger Associate Professor Kathryn Oberdeck Associate Professor Jonathan Ebel ABSTRACT Between Religion and Politics: The Working Class Religious Left, 1880-1920 makes two main arguments: First, through an analysis of socialist print culture and party meeting minutes, it argues that Christianity animated socialist culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Moreover, wage earners within socialist circles, and especially the emerging Socialist Party of America, used these working class spaces as their alternative to a church. They preached and prayed together, and developed a socialist Christian theology of cooperation, personal sacrifice, and a future “Christian Commonwealth.” While the Socialist Party of America was by no means a Christian Socialist movement, it served as a welcome spiritual home for the many working class Christians who melded their socialist convictions with their faith. Christian, Jewish, and agnostic socialists worked together under the banner of the emerging Socialist Party of America. By 1912, the number of socialist Christians outside the churches was so great that the new Protestant denominational federation, the Federal Council of Churches, organized a series of nationwide campaigns to root out socialists from industrial workforces and draw politically neutral Christians into the churches. Second, the project revises our understanding of the rise of Social Christianity. -

Remini Credits Cover Copyright About the Publisher 1 Discovery and Settlement of the New World here are many intriguing mysteries surrounding the peo- T pling and discovery of the western hemisphere. Who were the people to first inhabit the northern and southern continents? Why did they come? How did they get here? How long was their migration? A possible narrative suggests that the movement of ancient people to the New World began when they crossed a land bridge that once existed between what we today call Siberia and Alaska, a bridge that later dis- appeared because of glacial melting and is now covered by water and known as the Bering Strait. It is also possible that these early people were motivated by wanderlust or the need for a new source of food. Perhaps they were searching for a better climate, and maybe they came for religious reasons, to escape persecution or find a more congenial area to practice their partic u lar beliefs. -

Indiana Magazine of History
INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY voi. XI1 JUNE, 1916 No. 2 The Socialist Party in Indiana Since 1896 BY ORAELLEN Cox, Logansport, Indiana THE Socialist Party in Indiana is not something difYerent and apart from the general Socialist movement; on the other hand it is affiliated with and subordinated to the Socialist Party in America. It also cleaves closely to the principles of International Socialism as outlined by the national platforms and decisions of International Congresses. This State has been one of the most regular in its adherence to the national organization. The Unity Convention per- mitted the various States and Territories much latitude in organiz- ing to suit the needs of the various sections, but there is at present a tendency to bring all the State organizations under the more direct control of the national offices. Indiana will have nothing to undo, as it started right. Indiana may justly claim some prestige in the Socialist Party. New Harmony, Indiana, was the scene of the most important of the Owenite movements. While this experiment did not have any direct connection with the present political party, it served to show social unrest and sowed some seeds, the fruit of which was harvested by reformers in favor of the emancipation of 1abor.l Robert Owen was called “Our Dear Social Father” and it is said by Owen’s asso- ciates that Owen claimed to have used the word “Socialism” at least ten years before it was adopted by any other writer. If he did not actually use the word it came into use as a substitute for Owenite.2 Socialism, by John Spargo (19061, 11.
