12 July 2003:
In Lawrence, Massachussettes, europeans immigrating to the US were
able to find work. Lawrence was a “mill town”—around half
of its 85,000 residents over the age of 14 were working in the
mills. Health conditions were so deplorable in the mills that
one-third of Lawrence residents died before the age of
25. When the government reduced the working week with mill
owners immediately lowering wages, 20,000 unionised workers
walked out of the mills. This became one of the most important
strikes in US history, as the IWW proved that unskilled
workers and immigrants of different cultures and nationalities
could unite under the banner of the working class and win
better conditions for themselves. An archive for the
Lawrence
Strike of 1912 is now available.

19 June, 2003: Added to the Paris Commune History Archive the now complete History of the Paris Commune of 1871 by Henry Lissagaray, 1876, translated by Eleanor Marx:
Despite the rather quaint translation of 19th century French into 19th century
English by Eleanor, Marx’s daughter, this eye-witness account steams with
action. The narrative is filled with dialogue and action, rumour and alarm,
excitement and anger, frustration and criticism, heroism and infamy. A must-
read for all revolutionaries.
The text has been illustrated with loads of images, including photographs of
the participants and there are appendices with documents, etc., and a glossary
of French terms.
