Le Travailleur du Centre Ouest ('The Mid-West Worker') was a communist weekly newspaper published from Limoges, France.[1][2] Le Travailleur du Centre Ouest was the regional organ of the French Communist Party in Limousin. It was founded as a continuation of the Communist Party newspaper in Corrèze, Le Travailleur de Corrèze, and the communist organs in Creuse and the Haute-Vienne.[3]
Le Travailleur du Centre Ouest was printed in 5,000 copies. As of 1929, 62% of its subscribers lived in the country-side. For example, 3.2% of the inhabitants of Saint-Julien-le-Petit were subscribers, compared to 0.3% in Limoges and 1.9% in Saint-Junien.[2] Le Travailleur du Centre Ouest supported collectivization as the solution for the agrarian crisis.[2]
During the Second World War, it was published irregularly as Le Travailleur du Centre et du Centre Ouest.[4]
