Barb on Strike: vol. 1 #1, July 11-17, 1969 [predecessor to the Berkeley Tribe]

Red Mountain Tribe

Berkeley: Red Mountain Tribe, 1969. Newspaper. 12p., folded tabloid, illus., lightly and evenly toned, small closed tear at bottom spine of front cover and next page, also small chip at upper right corner of cover, small ink splotch under photo of Max, two chips on inner pages, all are printers' artefacts of some really sloppy press work, otherwise issue is very good.

When the staff of the Berkeley Barb went on strike against publisher Max Scherr, they printed one issue of Barb on Strike before starting the Berkeley Tribe at issue 2, thus this is the Tribe's true first issue. Cover shows photo of Max's face within a clenched fist. Bulk of the issue consists of short Barb-style news items, with the two main articles devoted to the trial of accused bomber Wayne Green and to the Barb strike itself.
