Another essential reference book for students of the US labor and radical movements, this directory of labor publications was put together by Solon De Leon, the estranged Communist son of Socialist Labor Party leader Daniel De Leon, and for much of the 1920s director of labor research for the Rand School. Like the previous volume, I refer to this volume nearly every week.
