Today’s Labor Quote: The Labor Review

​The "weekly magazine for organized workers," was first published on this date in 1907 in Minneapolis:

“Without blare of trumpets, beating of tom-toms, flourish of banners or parade of pretensions, Labor Review is launched today as the only publication in Minnesota owned and controlled in every department by organized labor. It has but one purpose – to faithfully represent the organized artisans of this community.”

Edna George, a cigar packer in Minneapolis, won $10 in gold for suggesting the name “Labor Review,” which has been published continuously since then, currently as a monthly publication.
