Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The first critical edition of the writings of the prolific radical workers' newspaper columnist and musician who rode the rails during the Great DepressionThe Popular Wobbly brings together a wide selection of writings by T-Bone Slim, the most popular and talented writer belonging to the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Slim wrote humorous, polemical pieces, engaging with topics like labor and class injustice, which were mostly published in IWW publications from 1920 until his death in 1942. Although relatively little is known about Slim, editors Owen Clayton and Iain McIntyre coalesce the latest research on this enigmatic character to create a vivid portrait that adds valuable context for the array of writings assembled here. Known as 'the laureate of the logging camps,' Slim also composed numerous songs that have been performed and recorded by Pete Seeger, Utah Phillips, and Candie Carawan, who in 1960 updated Slim's song 'The Popular Wobbly' with Civil Rights-era lyrics. Slim's witticisms, sayings, and exhortations ('Wherever you find injustice, the proper form of politeness is attack'; 'Only the poor break laws-the rich evade them') were widely discussed among fellow hobos across the 'jungle' campfires that dotted the railways, and some even transcribed his commentary on boxcars that traveled the country. Yet despite Slim's importance and fame during his lifetime, his work disappeared from public view almost immediately after his death.The Popular Wobbly is the first critical edition of Slim's work and also a significant contribution to literature about working-class writers, the radical labor movement, and the history and culture of nomadism and precarity. With this publication, Slim's rediscovered writings can once again inspire artists and activists to march and agitate for a more just and equitable world.

Ephemera. Zustand: Good +. Small white card [11 cm x 6.5 cm / 4.25" x 2.5"] printed in black on both sides. Lightly age-toned, bumped, creased, and with touch of dust soiling. The Finnish-American "T-Bone Slim" (Matti Valentin Huhta, 1880-1942) was a prominent member of the IWW, most well-known for his humor and songwriting. Several of his songs (including "The Lumberjack's Prayer") were featured in the IWW's iconic "Little Red Songbook" which was first published in 1909 and has never gone out of print. The card reads: [Recto:] "Printed in U. S. A. | The Lumber Jack's Prayer | I pray dear Lord for Jesus' sake, | Give us this day a T-Bone Steak, | Hallowed be thy Holy name, | But don't forget to send the same. | Oh, hear my humble cry, Oh Lord, | And send us down some decent board, | Brown gravy and some German fried, | With sliced tomatoes on the side. | Observe me on my bended legs, | I'm asking you for Ham and Eggs, | And if thou havest custard pies, | I like, dear Lord, the largest size. | Oh, hear my cry, All Mighty Host, | I quite forgot the Quail on Toast, | Let your kindly heart be stirred, | And stuff some oysters in that bird. | Dear Lord, we know your Holy wish, | On Friday we must have a fish, | Our flesh is weak and spirit stale, | You better make that fish a whale. | Oh, hear me Lord, remove these "Dogs," | These sausages of powder'd logs, | Your bull beef hash and bearded Snouts, | Take them to hell or thereabouts. | With Alum bread and Pressed-Beef butts, | Dear Lord you damn near ruin'd my guts, | Your white-wash milk and Oleorine, | I wish to Christ I'd never seen. | Oh, hear me Lord, I am praying still, | But if you won't, our union will, | Put pork chops on the bill of fare, | And starve no workers anywhere. | (Over)" [Verso:] "Answer to the Prayer | I am happy to say this prayer has been answeredby the "old man" himself. He tells me He has furnishedplenty for alland that if I am not getting mine it's because I am not organized SUFFICIENTLY strong to force the master to loosen up. | He tells me he has no knowledge on Dogs, Pressed-Beef Butts, etc., and that they probably are products of the Devil. He further informs me the Capitalists are children of Hisand that He absolutely refuses to participate in any children's squabbles. He believes in letting us fight it out along the lines of Industrial Unionism. | Yours in faith, | T-BONE SLIM. | NOTE.The money derived from the sale of these, goes for the payment of putting out free literature. | PRICE 10 CENTS | (Over) | [IWW Logo at bottom center]".
