A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Eugene Victor Debs, born November 5, 1855 in Terre Haute, Indiana and died October 20, 1926 in Elmhurst, Illinois, is an American politician, trade unionist and socialist, a founder of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW, Industrial Workers of the World). He is a candidate of the Socialist Party of America for the presidential elections on five occasions. The beginnings of popularity Eugene Victor Debs was born in Terre Haute, Indiana, where he lived most of his life. His father, Jean-Daniel Debs, is a bourgeois son of Colmar in Alsace (France) who marries a worker with whom he emigrated to the United States after the failure of the workers' revolution of June 1848 in Paris. His first names are chosen in homage to the writers Eugène Sue and Victor Hugo, sensitive to the fate of the workers (see in particular Les Misérables). At the age of 14, he left the family home and worked in the railways, becoming a driver. He returned home in 1874 and worked as a salesman. The following year he became a founding member of the new Lodge of the Brotherhood of Drivers. He quickly progressed to fraternity, first becoming assistant editor-in-chief for their newspaper and then editor-in-chief and grand secretary in 1880. At the same time, he became an unavoidable protagonist in the community and was elected to the state legislature Of Indiana for the Democratic Party. Rail fraternities were relatively conservative unions, more focused on providing services to members than in collective bargaining. Debs is gradually convinced of the need for a more global approach and confrontation. After his appointment as a great secretary he organized, in 1893, one of the first industrial unions in the United States, the American Railway Union (ARU). The union struggles and gets satisfaction from most of its demands in April 1894 in a social dispute over the Great Northern Railway.
