Workingmen's Party of Illinois The Workingmen's Party of Illinois was an American political party established in the city of Chicago in December 1873. It was one of the first International Socialist political parties established in North America. Founded in the aftermath of a massive demonstration of unemployed workers, the organization ran candidates for the Common Council of Chicago and for United States Congress as well as state office in Illinois in the November 1874 election. The organization is best remembered as one of the constituent parties coming together as the Workingmen's Party of the United States in 1876 — an organization later renamed the Socialist Labor Party of America.
