The Labour News Letter contained the "Facts, Figures and Comments concerning politics and economics in Ireland" and was the official publication of the Labour Party. The issues contain the expected news of struggles in England and Ireland as they relate to the Labour Party (Democratic-Socialist Party). In addition, the issues contain news updates concerning the war, the movements of the Germans and the like. VERY SCARCE.
Very good condition overall with slight wear at staples and edges.
