Description
JOHN TYLER (1790-1862). Tyler was the Tenth President.DS. 1pg. June 19, 1843. No place [Washington]. A partly printed, four language ships paper signed John Tyler as President and co-signed H.S. Legare as interim Secretary of State. The papers are for the Java, sailing from New Bedford, Massachusetts to the Indian Ocean. It was carrying provisions stores and Utensils for a Whaling voyage. The ship is listed in History of the American Whale Fishery, written by the appropriately named Alexander Starbuck, and the Java returned to New Bedford on April 3, 1845. The paper has the usual folds and a very large, dark signature that has a small pinhole because of fold intersections.

Description
Chicago, Illinois: Industrial Workers of the World [I.W.W. / IWW], 1925. Pamphlet. Good. 26 [+5] pp. Octavo [23 cm]; saddle-stapled in illustrated wraps. The large foldout chart/poster is tipped-in to the inside of the front wrap. The front wrap and chart, together, are completely detached. The covers are worn and stained but present and complete. Edgewear, age-toning, and brittling to the paper of the pamphlet. The foldout chart is folded three times with a few short splits at the edges of a few of the folds, but is noticeably brighter and the paper is in better condition than that of the rest of the pamphlet. This general IWW organizing pamphlet includes a large foldout chart/poster (which measures 43 x 39 cm / 17 x 15.25 inches). The recto is entitled "One Big Union. Industrial Workers of the World." and shows a large illustration of "Father Thomas J. Hagerty's Wheel" which is a circular diagram of the structure of the IWW's industrial union system. The "Industrial Union Manifesto" is printed in three lengthy columns on the verso of the foldout. "Father" Thomas J. Hagerty (b. 1862) was a Catholic priest, a co-founder of the IWW, the author of the IWW's omnipresent "Preamble" text (which is printed in this pamphlet on 26), and the creator of this chart,, "Hagerty's Wheel" (see: https://archive.iww.org/history/biography/FatherHaggerty/ and https://archive.iww.org/about/official/wheel/). Shortly after the establishment of the IWW in 1905, Hagerty left both the Catholic church and the radical political movement. Late in life, before his death sometime in the 1920s, Hagerty was reported by some of his former union comrades to be living in voluntary poverty on the streets of Chicago. This work includes four pages of adverts for other IWW publications and one page of subscription blanks (for the IWW periodicals Industrial Pioneer, Industrial Worker, and Industrial Solidarity) bound in at the rear. Printed by the Printing and Publishing Workers Industrial Union, No. 450, I. W. W. Cover illustration in red and black is by the cartoonist "Dust" Wallin, who was "known as 'the Gustave Doré of the IWW' because of his conceptual richness and engraving-like detail" (www.cartooningcapitalism.com/iww-cartoons).
