Singing Solidarity Forever, Passaic County, 1926
Strikers raise their fists and sing as they march down a street during the Passaic Textile Strike, 1926. One striker wears a military uniform. <br /><br />Photograph is marked for cropping. <br /><br />The I.W.W. song "Solidarity Forever" was sung to the tune of "John Brown's Body." The words, written by Ralph Chaplin, begin, <br /><br /><em>When the Union's inspiration through the worker's blood shall run,</em><br /><em>There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun;</em><br /><em>Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one?</em><br /><em>But the Union makes us strong.</em><br /><br />Chorus: <br /><em>Solidarity forever, solidarity forever,</em><br /><em>Solidarity forever, for the union makes us strong.</em>

Eight and one-half Million Women Workers!
Pamphlet promoting the work of the National Women's Trade Union League of America. The NWTULA advocates for better working conditions, hours, and wages for women and girls.<br /><br />Cover illustration of a young female factory worker. Her apron and the smoke from factory smokestacks behind her are caught by the wind. Illustration by Winifred Bromhall, best known for her work as a children's book artist.<br /><br />Excerpts:<br /><br />p. 2 "According to the 1920 census, eight and one-half million women in the United States, 10 years of age and over, earn their own living and contribute to the support of others. This represents a half-million increase over 1910....<br /><br />One out of every 4 women wage-earners is in one of the manufacturing and mechanical industries."<br /><br />p. 3 "A Way Out? Trade union organization--more and more of it--with its machinery for the collective merchandising of the day's work.<br /><br />Voices here and there, raised in individual protest, are not heard above the din of the modern industrial machine. But the collective voice of millions of women who know for themselves the toll exacted for unnatural strain will compel a hearing for their industrial ills."
National Women's Trade Union League of America

The Closing of Occupations To Women
This leaflet was created by the Woman's Party to describe the important role the Woman's Party in campaigning for industrial equality as evidenced by increasing legislation restricting the industrial opportunities of women. <br /><br />"The effort to bar women from political equality with men was of little consequence compared to the present growing effort to keep them from industrial equality. No part of the Woman's Party equality program is so important, we believe, and so far-reaching in its effect as its demand for economic equality."

What Have Women Done With the Vote?
This article written by George Creel originally appeared in the March 1914 issue of Century Magazine and was reprinted in pamphlet form by the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Creel's article provides an analysis of the consequences of women being granted the right to vote, including the social, political, and economic implications. <br /><br />"The opponents of equal suffrage never tire of declaring that woman's place is the home. I agree with them most heartily. It is because of the home that I want women to have the vote... I have always thought, and still think that a government entirely by men is as stupid as a government entirely by women would be. There are as many <em>home</em> features in municipal or state administration as <em>business</em> features...."

Women's Work and War
Women's Work and War: A Bulletin of Facts Concerning the Employment of Women to Meet the Deficit of Man Power in Our National Industrial Emergency. Published by the National Women's Trade Union League. <br /><br />p.1 "The working women are eager to help win the war. To make their help effective is a problem which must be generally discussed. Therefore this Bulletin."<br /><br />"The United States is now calling into action two armies. The first is an army of men, trained and equipped for service. It carries with it all the splendid panoply of war.<br /><br />The second is a woman's army. It is neither trained nor equipped, nor conscious of its unity. Yet to give good service it must be all those things. <br /><br />The women's army is as necessary to us at this time as the men's army, it will feed and clothe and munition the men in the trenches. As more men are called to the training camps women will step into their places in the shops, thus constantly increasing the army of women upon whose shoulders will rest the whole economic burden of this country."<br /><br />p.4 The NWTUL advocated for reasonable standards for women workers on Government contracts. This pamphlet outlines those standards as follows:<br /><br />"Adult labor.<br />Wages-- <br />1. The highest rate prevailing in the industry effected.<br />2. Equal pay for equal work.<br />3. Trades without wage standards to be handled by an adjustment committee.<br />4. Adjustment committee to handle all wage questions and to keep all wages in fair proportion to increasing cost of living.<br />The Eight Hour Day.<br />One day rest in seven.<br />Prohibition of night work for women.<br />Standards of sanitation and fire protection.<br />Protection against over-fatigue and industrial diseases.<br />Prohibition of tenement house labor.<br />Exemption from call into industry of women whose small children need their care.<br />Exemption from call into industry of women two months before and after child birth."<br /><br />Note postmark promoting food conservation during World War I. <br />"Food will win the war. Don't waste it."
