Chicago Socialist. Vol. 6 No. 341. September 16, 1905.

Workers Call, predecessor to the Chicago Socialist, was published from 1899 as a dissident Socialist Labor Party publication edited by A.M. Simons. It became a voice of the Springfield Social Democratic Party after splitting formally with De Leon in July, 1901 and was a major voice of the new Socialist Party founded that same year. It became the Chicago Socialist Party paper with the SDP’s adherence to the Socialist Party of America and changed its name to the Chicago Socialist in March, 1902. In 1906 it became a daily and published until 1912 by Local Cook County of the Socialist Party and was edited by A.M. Simons of the International Socialist Review. A cornucopia of historical information on the Chicago workers’ movements lies within its pages.
