About This Item
[New York]: Womens Committee of the Workers Alliance, 1937. A flyer calling for the women of New York to join a "mammoth demonstration of 10,000 women" at City Hall to protest WPA cuts in New York City. The text maintains that 60,000 WPA workers in New York City "will be thrown into the streets" thereby driving down wages as jobs become more competitive.
The Workers Alliance of America was founded in 1935 under the auspices of the Socialist Party of America and originally resembled a trade union representing the unemployed and WPA workers. The group merged with the Unemployed Councils of the Communists and the National Unemployed Leagues in 1936 and by the late 1930s was under the wing of the CPUSA. HUAC designed them a Communist Front organization in 1940. The text of this flyer was reprinted on p. 176 of Investigation and Study of the Works Progress Administration: Hearings Before the Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives, Seventy-sixth Congress, First[-third] Session, Acting Under House Resolution 130, Directing the Committee on Appropriations of the House to Conduct an Investigation and Study of the Works Progress Administration as a Basis for Legislation, Part 1 (1939).
Printed in black on an 11" x 8 ½" sheet of pulp paper. Chipping to the extremities, but only the 'W' in Women is slightly affected. Three copies in WorldCat.
