About This Item
[Detroit?]: n.p., 1949. A tribute to long-time Communist labor organizer, Bill McKie's, on the occasion of his 72nd birthday. McKie was a Scottish-born member of the Sheet Metal and Braziers Union who emigrated to the U.S. in 1927 and began organizing a union at Ford. He was an inveterate Communist and as evidenced by this pamphlet, a much-loved union organizer. Includes a tribute by leaders and rank and file members at Ford; facsimile letters of congratulations from Thomas Thompson, President, Local 600, UAW-CIO, Carl Winter, Chairman, Michigan State Committee Communist Party, and the Secretary of the Scottish Committee Communist Party. Roast turkey was on the celebratory menu and dinner music by Hope and Harold Smith.
