BOOK CATALOG OF THE SOCIALISTIC CO-OPERATIVE PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION

(Published July 15, 1901)

The Socialistic Co-operative Publishing Association was the holding company which published the New Yorker Volkszeitung and The People on behalf of the Socialist Labor Party. In 1899, amidst much acrimony and more than one lawsuit, the SCPA and an insurgent faction of the SLP split with the Socialist Labor Party regulars loyal to the standing National Executive Committee and the influential editor of its English-language organ, Daniel DeLeon. When the two factions of the SLP went their separate ways, the insurgent faction of the SLP and the Socialistic Co-operative Publishing Association formed the most important segment of the "Rochester" Social Democratic Party, which finally merged with the antagonistic midwestern segment of the party at a "Socialist Unity Convention" held late in July 1901 in Indianapolis.

This book catalog is consequently of no little historical interest, published as it was barely two weeks before the formation of the Socialist Party of America. Not all of these publications -- indeed, a small minority of them -- were published by the SCPA, but all of them were advertised for sale in their pages. It should also be mentioned that the Socialistic Co-operative Publishing Association also operated under the name "Socialist Literature Co." from its address at 184 William Street, New York City.
