Justus Ebert, a lithographer from New York City, was a prolific writer for the I. W. W.

He was the author of The Trial of A New Society (I. W. W. Publishing Bureau, 1913) about the Lawrence textile strike, and The I. W. W. In Theory and Practice (I. W. W. Publishing Bureau, 1920).

One of his other articles is available on the web: "What is the I. W. W. and What Does It Want?", One Big Union Monthly, March 1919

From 1926 to1945, he was the editor of the Lithographers Journal, a publication of the Amalgamated Lithographers of America.

Apparently he was involved in electoral politics before and after the heyday of the I. W. W., running for Congress as a Socialist from New York in 1902, and for the New York State Senate in 1936. He was unsuccessful both times.
