William Z. Foster; — An Appreciation

This is the story of an American whose life spans almost half the years since our nation became a Republic. William Z. Foster will be 75 years old, February 25, 1956. His years and achievements embody much of the history of American labor on which he has made an indelible imprint. He is the foremost Communist in America. The members of his party revere him as patriot, leader and exemplar of the power inherent in the working class into which he was born and to which he has devoted his life since the age of 14 when he participated in his first strike.
