Newsletter of lumber industry laborer, Tom Scribner, who began his crusade for organizing unemployed workers, farmers and laborers of all trades under the banner of the independent farmer-labor party in the late 1950s with an eponymous 'unemployed worker' constitution, with preamble, dating from 1958. Editor Tom Scribner was an itinerant worker trailing up and down the west coast, mainly in California, publishing as a devout member of the IWW and later resident of Santa Cruz, where he'd play the saw as a musical instrument downtown. His likeness would become memorialized and cast in bronze as a statue there in the early 1980s. Very scarce. Very good condition, some wear to newsletters noted with minor creasing to corners and toning to leaves. Single-stapled series of 4 letter-sized mimeographed leaves, printed to rectos only.
