Federated Press

This is not to be confused with the independent, research-based organization of Toronto, Canada, also called "Federated Press" that targets executives, lawyers, professionals.

In addition to providing weekly content to editors of the American labor press, the Federated press published a 12-page weekly newspaper available to subscribers and organized supporters.

The Federated Press was a left wing news service, established in 1920, that provided daily content to the radical and labor press in America, characterized widely from a mere "labor wire service"[1] or "a kind of left-wing AP"[2] to widely known for having "employed many Communist editors and correspondents,"[3] "so closely allied to the Communist party of America as to be regarded by the Communists as their official press association,"[4] or just "the Red's Federated Press."[5]
