Sox,
They owned it outright. They did not rent out the premises. They were there everyday. Their newspaper was printed in the backyard. Diemschutz lived on the third floor. The outside of the building was plastered with their propaganda and the big sign above their door read 'INTERNATIONAL WORKING MEN'S EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY'. It was not a social club, it was a socialists club. Very different.
These men were an offshoot of the Socialist League. They formed their group in 1884 and purchased 40 Berner Street in 1885. For the next nine years it was theirs outright. They didn't occassionally rent it.
Yours truly,
Tom Wescott
