Chicago Workers Newspaper
The Chicagoer Arbeiter-Zeitung was an anarchist workers' newspaper in German for immigrants of German origin who worked in the factories in Chicago . The newspaper's subtitles were Independent Organ for the Interests of the People and Organ of the International Association of Working People .
It was first published in Chicago in 1877. It appeared three times a week until 1931 with an average circulation of around 5800 copies.
Through the Haymarket Riot in the spring of 1886 and the calls of the editor-in-chief and publisher of the socialist workers 'newspaper August Spies , the workers' newspaper was a pioneer of the union and a voice of the labor movement at that time. According to the historian Max Nettlau , Rudolf Steiner is said to have been the newspaper's editor for a time.
