| | Radical Responses to the Great Depression - Unemployment, Hunger and Deprivation |
 | | Much more handsome than its title would suggest, The Unemployed was published by the League for Industrial Democracy, affiliated with the Socialist Party. |
 | | Its five issues (1930-32) mirrored the concern of an ever-growing number of prominent writers, artists, and men of affairs: Norman Thomas, Heywood Broun, Reinhold Niebuhr, Carl Sandberg, Morris Ernst, Zona Gale, Morris Hillquit, Fanny Hurst, Alexander Woollcott, Stuart Chase, A. Muste, Frank Murphy, Reginald Marsh, Otto Soglow, John Sloan, Thomas Hart Benton, and Boardman Robinson. |
 | | The Labadie Collection’s set of The Unemployed was a gift of the I.W.W. organizer, poet, and artist, Ralph Chaplin. |
