Even Earl Browder, who did not rise to prominence by virtue of his literary talents, has an article of interest in this fine issue of Workers Monthly, on the legendary Black Philadelphian Wobbly Ben Flectcher; William Z Foster on a the daily paper of the Soviet rail workers union; I.W.W. veteran Harrison George on May Day’s history; Arne Swabeck and William Dunne on the labor movement; Martin Abern, C.A. Hathaway, and Thurber Lewis on Party work; and Zinoviev speaks for the Comintern on the death of Sun Yat Sen, as well as his continuing ‘History of the Bolsheviks.’

The Workers Monthly began publishing in 1924 as a merger of the ‘Liberator’, the Trade Union Educational League magazine ‘Labor Herald’, and Friends of Soviet Russia’s monthly ‘Soviet Russia Pictorial’ as an explicitly Party publication. In 1927 Workers Monthly ceased and the Communist Party began publishing The Communist as its theoretical magazine. Editors included Earl Browder and Max Bedacht as the magazine continued the Liberator’s use of graphics and art.
