3. Adrift- but not lost. [Anti-CIO poster,
with caricature of John L. Lewis]. n.p.:
n.pub., [1941-?]. 11.75x18 inch poster, lower
left corner chipped, evenly toned; short
closed edge tears, slight fading across the
bottom edge. "CIO-Pappy" Lewis is depicted
with a gleaming diamond ring in a boat marked with a swastika, offering rescue to
a man in the water if he kicks in money first. Sign on the boat promises a "Oneway trip to Devil's Island, $50" implying that CIO membership would be forced
servitude. (#190519)
$125.00
Issued by a competing union or by management, the poster accuses the CIO of
operating a pay-to-work scam and fleecing its membership. Urges the reader to
vote against CIO membership in an upcoming union election. The specific
election is left unstated; this may signify intention to use the design in more than
one campaign. The swastika on the boat may refer to Lewis' support for the
Molotov-Ribbentropp Pact. Text refers to the Atlantic Charter's Four Freedoms,
dating it to after August 1941; Lewis also withdrew from the CIO in this year, so
the poster was most likely produced in late 1941.

poetry reading for the people of Suwanose Island, Japan. San Francisco:
Committee to Save Suwanose. Design: Good Times Grafix; printed by San
Francisco Community Press., [1973]. 15x18 inch poster on faint green stock with
central motif consisting of the kanji character “Mu,” meaning “nothingness,” a
central concept of Zen Buddhism; the names of the poets and of the event are
written in a circle around this character in simulated brush strokes. The poetry
reading was to be held at Everett Jr. High on Sunday, May 27 of an unnamed
year; the words “School yard parking available” have been penned at the bottom,
otherwise very good condition, without pinholes. OCLC lists a holding at Brown
University, which has estimated its date as 1962. However, since Nanao Sakaki
did not come to San Francisco until 1969, the combination of Sunday falling on
the 27th and Sakaki’s presence suggests 1973. (#182964) $250.00
Suwanose is a volcanic island of few inhabitants, which is partly why it was selected by Buzoku (“The Tribe”), a
Japanese countercultural group, for the location of its commune, the Banyan Ashram. Snyder and others in his
circle stayed there and wrote extensively about it. The Committee to Save Suwanose was devoted to protecting the
culture of the local people who inhabited the island. A different poster for a Berkeley reading that was part of the
same campaign described the event as “A benefit for Suwanose Island defense and planet-wide resistance to the
destruction by industrial nations of tribes, farms, and forests.”
