Many come from Europe, including areas 
under Russian occupation, and from

sidered as having some significance for 
libraries.

taking, is that of Joseph A. Huebner of

Sources for the Study of European Labor and 

Socialism (1840-1914) at Wisconsin 

(Continued from page 143) 

The periodicals are easily the prize of 
the Russian collection, if for no other rea-
son than that to acquire them now on a 
piece-by-piece basis would be a hopeless 
task. Each one is a rare item. The most 
famous of them all, but not the rarest, is 
Iskra} of which Wisconsin has all 112 is-
sues. Lenin was among those who found-
ed this organ of the Social Democratic 
Party. Later, when Lenin went into the 
opposition, he founded the Vpered. The 
Osvobo zhdenie} of which 79 issues ap-
peared, represented the non-revolution-
ary constitutional reformers. Finally, and 
the temptation to list more is strong, 
there is the Svobodnoe Slovo, issued by 
the followers of Tolstoi. 

The ({International" 

As an agency within which the social-
ists revealed their differences in outlook, 
and as a platform for propagandistic ac-

tivity by Marx, the International Work-
ingmen's Association (founded 1864) is 
worthy of study. Of the proceedings of 
this Association, Wisconsin has an almost 
complete file; unfortunately, there is lack-
ing the parallel material for the anarch-
ists, bitter enemies of Marx. 

The outstanding item on the Interna-
tional .is the manuscript book of the min-
utes of the meeting of 1872, the year in 
which the anarchists were expelled from 
the Association. This minute book, never 
before published, will soon appear in 
printed form. 

In the proceedings of the Second Inter-
national (founded 1889) can be traced 
the warfare between the various socialist 
groups and the attempts of the partic-
ipants to settle the differences between 
the Russian representatives. Wisconsin 
has a complete file of these proceedings.
