For the Sierra Club and the National I K'fl Women's Political Caucus, this means a first time endorsement. For labor, this means the most extensive effort since the 1940s.

  • "The Crisis in the Communist Party," by James Casey
    THE CRISIS in the..; COMMUNIST PARTY By James Casey Price IDc THREE ARROWS PRESS 21 East 17th Street New York City CHAPTER I THE PEOPlES FRONT AND MEl'tIBERSHIP The Communist Party has always prided itself on its «line." It has always boasted of being a "revolutionary work-class party with a Marxist­ Leninist line." Its members have been taught to believe that the party cannot be wrong at any time on any question. Nonetheless, today this Communist Party line has thrown the member­ ship of the Communist Party into a Niagara of Confusion. There are old members who insist that the line or program has not been changed. There are new members who assert just as emphatically that the line certainly has been changed and it is precisely because of this change that they have joined the party. Hence there is a clash of opinion which is steadily mov­ ing to the boiling point. Assuredly the newer members are correct in the first part of their contention that the basic program of the Communist Party has been changed. They are wrong when they hold that this change has been for the better. Today the Communist Party presents and seeks to carry out the "line" of a People's Front organization. And with its slogan of a People's Front, it has wiped out with one fell swoop, both in theory and in practice, the fundamental teachings of Karl Marx and Freidrick Engels. It, too, disowns in no lesser degree in deeds, if not yet in words, all the preachings and hopes of Nicolai Lenin, great interpretor of Marx and founder of the U.

This study contributes to our understanding of a rich heritage-a heritage that has not only shaped our past but still has important meaning for us today. We are proud of the role that the Jewish labor movement, and since 1934 the Jewish Labor Committee, has played in strengthening American democracy-proud as Jews, proud as trade unionists, proud as peo- ple with a social vision. Whether the struggle has been against anti- Semitism, against urban and rural poverty and the degrading quality of life in our urban centers, for health care for aged citizens, or against discrimination North and South, JLC has been an important force for over 30 years in the continuing struggle for social justice and economic democracy. The social vision of the Jewish labor move- ment is our most important heritage-and maintaining the concrete relevance of that vision is the role of the NTUC.

  • Interracial Unionism in the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union and the Development of Black Labor Organizations, 1933-1940
    THEY SAW THEMSELVES AS WORKERS: INTERRACIAL UNIONISM IN THE INTERNATIONAL LADIES’ GARMENT WORKERS’ UNION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLACK LABOR ORGANIZATIONS, 1933-1940 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Julia J. Oestreich August, 2011 Doctoral Advisory Committee Members: Bettye Collier-Thomas, Committee Chair, Department of History Kenneth Kusmer, Department of History Michael Alexander, Department of Religious Studies, University of California, Riverside Annelise Orleck, Department of History, Dartmouth College ABSTRACT “They Saw Themselves as Workers” explores the development of black membership in the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union (ILGWU) in the wake of the “Uprising of the 30,000” garment strike of 1933-34, as well as the establishment of independent black labor or labor-related organizations during the mid-late 1930s. The locus for the growth of black ILGWU membership was Harlem, where there were branches of Local 22, one of the largest and the most diverse ILGWU local. Harlem was also where the Negro Labor Committee (NLC) was established by Frank Crosswaith, a leading black socialist and ILGWU organizer. I provide some background, but concentrate on the aftermath of the marked increase in black membership in the ILGWU during the 1933-34 garment uprising and end in 1940, when blacks confirmed their support of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and when the labor-oriented National Negro Congress (NNC) was irrevocably split by struggles over communist influence. By that time, the NLC was also struggling, due to both a lack of support from trade unions and friendly organizations, as well as the fact that the Committee was constrained by the political views and personal grudges of its founder.

  • Exclusive Story of SP Convention Shows Collapse: Party Disintegrating and in Complete Control of Communists, Milwaukee
    Exclusive Story of SP Convention Shows Collapse: Party Disintegrating and in Complete Control of Communists, Milwaukee Delegate Writes [events of March 26-29, 1937] by Frederic Heath Published in The New Leader [New York], vol. 20, no. 14 (April 3, 1937), pp. 1-2. The author of this story was a Wisconsin delegate to the national con- vention of the Norman Thomas-led Socialist Party. Held behind closed doors, this is the only uncensored story that has come out of the conven- tion. Fred Heath belongs to the generation of Victor L. Berger, Eugene V. Debs, Morris Hillquit, and other democratic Socialists and was one of the founders of the Socialist Party now captured by the Communists. • • • • • CHICAGO, Ill., March 26 [1937].1— It has fallen to Wisconsin Socialists to sit in a Socialist national convention and find themselves the only remnants of the once powerful American Socialist Party, sur- rounded by leering, victorious Communists who have made a com- plete capture of the movement we have given much of our lives to help build up. We had to take it here in Chicago today, for here was a national Socialist convention completely in the control of the enemy, a miracle that had been made possible by the arch betrayer, Norman Thomas. 1 This article seems to have been written in two parts and posted from Chicago to New York for publication following conclusion of the convention. 1 I am writing to The New Leader as, unfortunately, we of Wiscon- sin have no medium that we can freely use to enlighten each other on inner party matters.
