Rumbo Gráfico – the newspaper of the Union of Industrial Workers of Graphic Arts (Sindicato Industrial de Trabajadores de Artes Gráficas) – was published in Mexico City between 1940 and 1961. Dated May 1, 1940, this issue commemorates the anniversary of a strike in Chicago on the same day in 1886 when workers demanded an eight-hour day. Their demonstration on the Haymarket three days later resulted in the death and injury of workers and gave rise to the International Worker’s Day (May Day). Rumbo Gráfico　describes these events and urges graphic arts workers in Mexico to strengthen their union.
