Sažetak
In the period from 1880 to World War I about half a million emigrants from what is the Yugoslavia of today settled in the United States of America. Although a relatively small ethnic group, Yugoslav emigrants influenced various spheres of American life, including numerous social movements: the labor movement in the first place, through workers' parties and trade union organizations. This paper deals with the initial attempts of Yugoslav socialists to gather together socially with the purpose of implementing a socialist program among Yugoslav emigrants. Such attempts were first made as early as 1894. This study follows and analyzes them up to 1910, when the Yugoslav Socialist League was founded in Chicago. The League foundation marked the end of the initial period of Yugoslav socialists' activities in the U.S.A.
