DESCRIPTION:California in the Progressive Era: The Union Labor Party and the Socialist 
 Party in the San Francisco Bay Area\nWith history lecturer John Holmes, 
 SFSU Professor Bill Issel and moderated by SFSU Professor Bob Cherney\n\n 
 One of the most tumultuous periods in San Francisco labor and working class 
 history was the formation of the Union Labor Party (ULP) and the role of 
 the Socialist Party in the early 20th century.\n\n San Francisco was the 
 first major city in the United States to have a labor mayor but later the 
 mayor and the board of supervisors were removed in a financial scandal 
 pushed and funded by major San Francisco capitalists who were angry that 
 organized labor had political control of the city.\n\n This panel will look 
 at this history including the 1907 Carmen’s strike that cost the lives of 
 33 people. \n\nThe long strike was broken when the company brought in armed 
 company thugs who shot strikers and their supporters and injured many 
 because of their inability to run the cars. On the 110th anniversary of 
 this strike this panel will examine the lessons for today.\nSee also:
