Complete details at dclabor.org, click on Calendar Here’s today's labor history: On this date in 1927, the first “talkie” movie, The Jazz Singer, premiered in New York City. Within three years, theater jobs for some 22,000 musicians who accompanied silent movies were wiped out, while only a few hundred jobs for musicians performing on soundtracks were created by the new technology. Today’s labor quote is by Joe Hill, who said: “A pamphlet, no matter how good, is never read more than once, but a song is learned by heart and repeated over and over."
