A list of IWW pamphlets from the beginning of the 20th Century up until today.

UPDATE 2/28/15: Added 50 titles.

UPDATE 8/19/14: Added 21 titles. Cleaned up some formatting. Put 'Unknown/Unclear Dates' in alphabetical order.

UPDATE 8/3/14: Added 5 titles to list. Corrected date on 1 title. Added 1 more to the criteria.

Here's a list of IWW pamphlets. Most have links to PDFs or text, some may not be on the internet yet. Recognizing this is a work in progress, if you have information on pamphlets that aren't on this list, please let us know in the comments!

Here is the following criteria for this list:

-Must be more than 8 pages (any less and it is more a leaflet than a pamphlet)

-Must be under 100 pages (beyond that I think it can be considered a book).

-Must be put out by some official body of the IWW (or consist of material that was) or independently, by IWW members, as long as it is about, for or aimed at other IWW members or people who may be interested in the union.

-Must be directed more outward than inward (so pamphlets on how to do delegate tasks, fill out paper work or run a meeting are, for the most part, excluded).

-Must be in English (other languages should be a separate list/project)

Footnotes

(1) - The Charles H. Kerr Publishing Company was started by Charles H. Kerr as a publishing house for Unitarian literature. After some years he and his wife moved to the radical left and began to put out books, pamphlets and magazines that were written by or supportive of the 'left-wing' of the Socialist Party and the IWW. Still existing today, they distribute such excellent books such as Henry E. McGuckin's Memoirs of a Wobbly, Staughton Lynd's Solidarity Unionism and Martin Glaberman's Punching Out, among many others.

(2) - Not a lot of information exists on the IWW Publishing Bureau, but it seemed to have been an unofficial grouping of the union based in Cleveland that published a variety of leaflets and pamphlets, as well as (apparently) the Solidarity newspaper. At some time it may have been moved to Chicago and made an official part of the union.

(3) - Socialist News Co. seemed to have been run by a group of 'left-wing' Socialist Party members from Pittsburgh that advocated direct action and industrial unionism. Check out: Mark Hudson, "The Pittsburgh Reds, 1911-1914: Revolutionary Socialists in Allegheny County", Against the Current (July-August 1999)

(4) - The Class Struggle was a Marxist magazine published from 1917 until 1919, and reflected the outlook of the 'left-wing' of the Socialist Party and eventually, the Communist Labor Party, a split that was one of the predecessor groups of the modern day Communist Party USA.

(5) - Bérmunkás was the IWW's Hungarian-language newspaper published from 1913-1953.

(6) - New England Free Press was a publishing collective that printed radical pamphlets from 1967-1981.

(7) - Rebel Press is "a small anarchist publishing collective" based out of New Zealand that has been operating since 2006.

(8) - Run by a collective of anarchist Wobblies in Edmonton, thoughtcrime ink produces a variety of pamphlets, books, t-shirts and buttons.

(9) - Zabalaza Books is an anarchist publishing project operating out of South Africa.

(10) - The Kate Sharpley Library is a publishing group from the UK that since the early 1990s has existed "to preserve and promote anarchist history".
