On February 25 Bill Foster, as he is known to thousands of railroad workers, miners, sailors, lumberjacks, and longshoremen, was sixty-eight. Today he is under arrest with eleven other members of the National Committee of the Communist Party, accused by the U.S. Government of the advocacy of political ideas. They are ideas of human freedom which began for Bill Foster with the sad Irish lullabies his mother sang and the glowing tales his Fenian father told of the age-long struggle for Irish freedom.William Foster was a great man who led not only the Communist Party in the USA, he was a strong union activist organizer. This is his story.The Appendix has two extra articles relating to Industrial Concentration. This reprint is a great asset not only for history but for fully understanding how our labor unions were started over a hundred years ago.
