Light crease at top, light dust on back cover and 1" tear by back cover lower left corner. B. Jan.-May 1897. 2.5x5" four panel folder opens to 2x10".

Has library stamp, center fold edge chips, and full spine split. Interior two pages of text with Debs facsimile signature. D. 1910 used and postmarked postcard titled "Strikers Soliciting Funds For Their Cause." This was issued at the time of the General Strike of 1910, a labor strike by trolley workers of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company that grew to a city wide riot and general strike in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A rare card. Minor age. E. 1917 famous NYC Socialists for Mayor and Judge handbill. 6x9". Tanned and fragile but still very intact with just small corner loss. Announces "To East Side Boys!!/There Will Be A Special Boys' Division/In The/Socialist Parade/Saturday Evening, November 3rd, 1917." Fourth panel reads "Let Us Turn Out In Mass And Help Elect/Morris Hillquit, Jacob Panken/And The Other Socialist Candidates." Morris Hillquit was a founder and leader of the Socialist Party Of America and prominent labor lawyer in New York City's Lower East Side. In November 1917 running on an anti-war platform, Hillquit garnered more than 100,000 votes as the Socialist candidate for Mayor of New York City. Jacob Panken won this 1917 election to a ten-year term as municipal judge in New York, the first Socialist to be elected to New York City's Municipal Court. F. 1929. 6x9" booklet of 32 pages and many photos. Published by "Tom Mooney Molders Defense Committee" in San Francisco. Ball and chain graphic cover shows Mooney in 1916 and also in 1929 to demonstrate "The Horror Of Thirteen Years Unjust And Cruel California Imprisonment." Content reviews bombing events and argues in Mooney's defense with front cover appeal to "Governor Young" and Judge Griffin "Pardon Tom Mooney/He Is Innocent." Light vertical crease, light dust traces. Still in very sound condition. G. November 1932. About 3.5x5.5" glossy snapshot photo shows uniformed young men posing as band members around their base drum inscribed "Red Front/New York" with raised fist at center. Undated but pencil caption on back "Red Front Band/Last Hunger March" and almost certainly taken as New York City contingent gathered at Bronx Coliseum to board trucks for the Washington Hunger March of 1932. The Red Front Band was hired to go with the delegates. Slight blur as taken but only a few emulsion hairlines and light wear. A terrific group of rare left-wing paper items.
