About This Item
My fathers' father belonged to this union and the story is he stole a fur coat from his employer and bribed a famous actor to smuggle his younger brother,a calavry man in the International Brigade in Spain in a rug across the Mexican United States.. Be that as it may, the jacket is in pieces but comes with the book. Previous owners name crossed out in black on the title page. Index Text is unmarked. Sources included. My mother was 14, working in a factory after, the 1930 depression. When the word rang out "THE CIO IS HERE" someone climb on a table and pulled the plug on the electricity. Then everyone sat down. that's all my mother was willing to remember. Stroy of an important union in working class battles.
