Description:
Portland, OR: Wine Press, 1967. First Edition. Square stapled wrappers; thin 8vo. The first book, a collection of poetry by a student and companion of Ted Enslin. This book inscribed to Enslin's mother and father "Dr. and Mrs. Enslin, with love". The book is dedicated to "Ted". The poet published several books in the 60's and early 70's with small presses including Weil's Elizabeth Press. Unevenly toned, staples rusted, small loss from insect damage along the front cover, so good only. Surprisingly well-represented in institutions, but scarce signed, and in this case an important association copy.

Description:
[Fairfield?]: S.W.O.C. District No. 3, 1940. First Edition. Mimeographed, side-stapled sheets, 11" x 8-1/2"; 6pp; printed recto-only. Text toned with chips to extremities; but of rust to staples; Good and sound. Ink signature of a "Dolph Mosley / Fairfield" to front cover. Report to the second annual convention of the S.W.O.C., documenting the union's successes in the southern states during its first year of existence and as well as union-busting activities which as might be imagined were rampant throughout the south during this period, especially against a C.I.O.-affiliated union with a reputation for radicalism and a racial integration. A locus of anti-labor sentiment appears to have been the industrial community of Gadsden, Alabama, where the authors document numerous instances of direct threats against steelworkers, including some that were racially motivated. Rare; as in our experience is most southern steelworkers material from this period.

After arriving in New York City, Swinton worked for numerous newspapers, among them the "Times," and it was during this period he first became interested in labor politics, even running (unsuccessfully) for mayor on the Industrial Political Party ticket in 1874. In 1883…

The present document is possibly the first publication issued by the Union, the opening statement…
