What group made Sandburg a member to great controversy?

Thanks Roger, but this time just credit it to my symposium posting fee balance.

Gene, you're going to kill me, but the entire posting fee balance was invested in the IPO of Facebook at $38 a share. Please double the amount you are sending.

Joe, the connection between Sandburg and socialism was a part of what our guide talked about when Vicki and I visited Connemara. That stuck in my brain, and I was ready if Rob ever asked about it.
Rob, I will guess the Imagists.

Sorry Roger that's not it either.
First clue. This organization has two levels of membership, but you have to be invited to either one.
Edit: I changed "had" to "has" and "had" to "have" because the group still exists.

Rob: when you said that Joe did not get the answer right-were you referring to his response pertaining to the socialist party in Milwaukee or to the NAACP?
RE: A Sandburg Stumper - Rob Wick - 09-28-2012 11:10 AM
Bill,
Both.

Rob: this is not an answer to your latest "Sandburg Stumper." I was just wondering, did Sandberg become a member of the Abraham Lincoln Association? I figured that Paul Angle may have been a factor.
RE: A Sandburg Stumper - Rob Wick - 09-28-2012 05:58 PM
Bill,
I would think so, but to be completely honest I don't know for a fact. I know Tarbell was, and it would make sense that he was, but I'm just not 100 percent sure.
Clue #2. This group has existed under a few different names throughout the years.

Clue # 3
It's headquarters is in New York City.

The I.W.W.?
RE: A Sandburg Stumper - Rob Wick - 09-29-2012 08:31 AM
No Bill, it isn't the Wobblies.
Clue #4. The group in question is definitely mainstream.

Final clue: The organization (and the reference to Sandburg) is to be found in a 32-page article in the February 23, 1976 edition of The New Yorker magazine.

I'm going to try one more time...because of Carl Sandburg's affinity for labor, is the answer the American Labor Party, who ran a candidate for president in 1976--(I think it was Lyndon LaRouche).
