The Irish Socialist Federation (ISF) was an organization which was active in the United States and was founded by James Connolly and others.[1] It had branches in New York and Chicago. In March 1907 a céili was held to launch the organisation. The aim of the party was to raise class consciousness among Irish emigrants in America. Members included James Connolly, ex-ISRP members Jack Mulray and John Lyng, Patrick L. Quinlan and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. It was aligned to the Socialist Labor Party of America.[2] The official newspaper of the organisation was known as 'The Harp'.[3]
