| Abstract:

The Workingmen’s Cooperative Publishing Association was a socialist organization affiliated
with the Socialist Party of New York, and the governing board of
New York Call, a socialist daily newspaper, published between 1908 and 1923, which was eventually
prohibited from second-class mailing status by the Postmaster General of the United
States for violating provisions of the Espionage Law in 1917. The collection consists
of correspondence, by-laws, organizational papers and membership lists, and some printed
material created by the Association and other Socialist organizations. The material
largely relates to pubishing business matters, fund raising schemes, and staff and
editorial difficulties. Most of the correspondence is that of financial secretary
Julius Gerber. Other correspondents include W. J. Ghent and Algernon Lee.
