Interesting issue.

The article on page 5 was written by the then DeLeonist Socialist Labor Party member, Joseph Schlossberg. He served as an editor for the SLP's Yiddish language publication. Schlossberg eventually left the SLP, and the IWW, and, in the yearly 1920s, went on to become the Secretary-Treasurer of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, a union he helped establish in 1914. Schlossberg also served as an editor of the ACW publication as well.
