  • Oral History Transcript T-0217, Interview with David Burbank
    ORAL HISTORY T-0217 INTERVIEW WITH DAVID BURBANK INTERVIEWED BY NOEL DARK SOCIALIST PARTY PROJECT NOVEMBER 29, 1972 This transcript is a part of the Oral History Collection (S0829), available at The State Historical Society of Missouri. If you would like more information, please contact us at [email protected]. My name is Noel Clark. I am a graduate student at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. The date is November 29, 1972. I am going to talk this evening to Mr. David Burbank about the Socialist Party in the State of Missouri. CLARK: Mr. Burbank, would you mind, first of all, saying your name? BURBANK: Yes, I am David Burbank. CLARK: ...and your address. BURBANK: My address is 300 Mansion Center, St. Louis. CLARK: Okay. Mr. Burbank, would you mind giving us a short history on the Socialist Party as you first became acquainted with it? BURBANK: Well, I think I might start out by giving a little bit of background. As you probably know, the Socialist Party was greatly reduced after World War I. The Red scares and the Communist split reduced it nationally to very little. There were several cities where they had originally been very strong before World War I and even during World War I. St. Louis was one of them. There was a very large German population and this party here was, to a very large extent, a German organization. It had been so for a long time. The German Socialists were active in various German Unions, like the brewery works, the carpenters, machinists and so on, and exercised considerable influence in these unions.

(Romania) Date and place of death: April ?, 1949, ?, USA Nationality: Romanian ; USA Occupations, careers, etc.: Party organizer Time of activity in Trotskyist movement: 1928 - ca. 1946 Biographical sketch There are only a few general biographical notes about Martin Abern, listed in the bibliography below. Our short sketch is chiefly based upon Glotzer, Albert: Abern, Martin (1898-1949), in: Biographical dictionary of the Ame­ rican Left, ed. by Bernard K. Johnpoll and Harvey Klehr, New York, NY, [etc.], 1986, pp. 1-2. Martin Abramowitz was born in Bessarabia, the eastern part of Romania, on December 2, 1898 as a son of Jewish parents. In 1902 the family emigrated to the United States, settled in Minneapolis, Min­ nesota, became naturalized and assumed the name Abern. In Minneapolis Martin Abern attended both elementary and high school before enrolling at the University of Minnesota in 1914 where he was tolerated as a campus radical only because he was a star of the university's football team. After the United States had entered World War I, Abern was expelled from Minnesota University because he had refused the draft and was sentenced to a six-month prison term. Having joined the ranks of the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World)1 and of the YPSL (Young People's Socialist League, the youth section of the SP, Socialist Party) already at an early age, Abern together with the entire left wing of the SP and YPSL left the Socialist Party in 1919 and in face of the Bolshevik Russian revolution and of the launching of the Comintern (Communist International) be­ came a founding member of the American communist movement2.
