It included a significant role in the beginning of American Trotskyism. By profession Glotzer was a court reporter, a skill he put to use in transcribing the proceedings of the commission chaired by John Dewey to investigate the Moscow Trial charges, which heard lengthy testimony from Leon Trotsky in hearings in Mexico City in 1937. For several years Glotzer was president of the Federation of Shorthand Reporters. In his earlier years he used the pseudonym Albert Gates in party work. The collection is arranged in four series corresponding to four distinct phases of Glotzer's political life. The Communist Period Papers consist of his papers as a member of the Workers (Communist) Party and of its youth group, the Young Workers (Communist) League. Glotzer joined the youth league in 1923 and the adult party two years later, both at precocious ages, and became a member of the national committee of the youth league. He was expelled from both youth league and party in 1928 as a Trotskyist. The Trotskyist Period Papers consist of Glotzer's papers as a member of the Communist League of America (1928-1934), of the Workers Party of the United States (1934-1936), of the Socialist Appeal Caucus of the Socialist Party (1936-1937), and of the Socialist Workers Party (1938-1940). These were successively the first organizational expressions in the United States of the international communist opposition movement led by Leon Trotsky. The papers document Glotzer's meetings with Trotsky in Europe and his participation in the Dewey Commission hearings, the formation of the Communist League of America, its merger with the American Workers Party to form the Workers Party of the United States, Trotskyist entry into and exit from the Socialist Party, establishment of the Socialist Workers Party, and the full-scale faction fight that rent the party when the onset of World War II acutely posed the question of Soviet defense. Glotzer was a member of the national committees of all the American Trotskyist organizations of this period. The Shachtmanite Period Papers consist of Glotzer's papers as a member of the Workers Party (1940-1949) and of the Independent Socialist League (1949-1958). These were the successive organizations of the group led by Max Shachtman which split from the Socialist Workers Party in 1940. Their departure with a substantial proportion of the membership capped the intraparty dispute over the "Russian question" in which Trotsky defined the Stalinized Soviet Union as a "degenerated workers' state," while Shachtman maintained that it had ceased to be a workers' state of any description and eventually settled upon "bureaucratic collectivist" as a label to categorize it. The possibility of reunifying the rival parties resulting from the split remained open and a subject of discussion for several years. Instead, the Shachtmanites, as they came to be called, ultimately evolved in a social democratic direction and disbanded in 1958. Glotzer was a member of the national committees of the Shachtmanite groups as well as editor of the newspaper Labor Action and of the theoretical journal The New International. The papers document the Workers Party's relationship with the Socialist Workers Party, its transition to Independent Socialist League, and its campaign for removal from the Attorney General's subversive organizations list. The Social Democratic Period Papers consist of Glotzer's papers as a member of the Socialist Party (1958-1972) and of its successor, Social Democrats, U.S.A. (1972-1999). Glotzer was a member of the national committees of these organizations, in which he, along with Shachtman and other former members of their group, came to play a leading role. The papers document their activities and influence, controversies within the Socialist Party at the time of the Vietnam War and the 1972 presidential election, and the transition to Social Democrats, U.S.A., while an opposing faction led by Michael Harrington split away. The series is also pertinent to Glotzer's earlier political history. In his later years he was conscious of being one of the last surviving personal associates of Leon Trotsky and one of the last surviving veterans of the formative period of the Trotskyist movement. He sought to record and evaluate his experiences in his book Trotsky: Memoir and Critique (published in 1989), in shorter writings, and in an extensive and patient correspondence with a younger generation of historians of the American left. Each of these series is subdivided in a similar manner, with a typical succession being: correspondence; speeches and writings by Glotzer; minutes, internal bulletins, other internal documents, and public issuances of the organizations to which he belonged during the period; contemporaneous issuances of other organizations; and miscellaneous or subject file Register of the Albert Glotzer 91006 3 papers material.

Charles ; Carlos Cortes ; Charlie Curtiss ; Sam(uel) Kurtz ; Date and place of birth: July 4, 1908, Chicago, Ill. (USA) Date and place of death: December 20, 1993, Los Angeles, Cal. (USA) Nationality: USA Occupations, careers, etc.: Printer (lino-typist), political and union organizer Time of activity in Trotskyist movement: 1928 - 1951 Biographical sketch This biographical sketch is chiefly based on those biographical sketches and obituaries which are listed in the last paragraph of the selected bibliography below. Born Sam(uel) Kurtz1 as a son of immigrants from Poland in Chicago, Ill. on July 4, 1908, Charles (or, Charlie) Curtiss earned his living by various jobs as miner, sailor, etc. before becoming a printer (lino- typist). In Los Angeles he married Lillian Ilstien (1911-1985) in 1935 from whom he got a son, David (born 1943), and a daughter, Carolyn (1950-1993). In 1928, Curtiss in Chicago joined the ranks of the Communist League of America (CLA), an organiza­ tion of left communists, chiefly expellees from the Communist Party of the U.S. because of 'Trotskyist deviationism'. Led by James P. Cannon, Martin Abern and Max Shachtman, the CLA soon became the American affiliate of the international Trotskyist movement which soon adopted the name Interna­ tional Left Opposition. As a skilled printer, Curtiss took responsibility for the production of CLA's weekly paper The Militant. In 1932, Curtiss was sent by the party leadership to Los Angeles, Cal., in order to help building a CLA branch there.

Kissell Socialist Party Socialist National Committee 1011 North Third Street Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53203 Dear Mr. Kissell: This is in response to your letter of October 8, 1980, requesting an advisory opinion on behalf of the Socialist National Committee of the Socialist Party, U.S.A. regarding its status as a "national committee" of a political party under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended ("the Act"). You state that the Socialist National Committee ("the committee") is the national committee of the Socialist Party of the United States of America ("Socialist Party"). In support of this assertion, you have submitted information on the Committee's activities and ask that the Commission issue a formal declaration affirming the Committee's status under the Act as a national committee of a political party. The Committee has filed a Statement of Organization with the Commission declaring itself to be a "national committee of a political party" pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 431(14), registering under the name "Socialist National Committee of the Socialist Party, U.S.A." Also, reports filed by the Committee with the Commission indicate that the Committee has made coordinated expenditures totalling more than $1,000. The Act defines "national committee" as "the organization which by virtue of the bylaws of a political party, is responsible for the day-to-day operation of such political party at the national level." 2 U.S.C 431(14).

The following biographical sketch is chiefly based on the material listed in the last paragraph of the Selective bibliography section below. Sam Gordon1 was born on May 5, 1910 as a son of Yiddish speaking Jewish parents living in that part of Poland which then belonged to the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. However, when Sam was still a baby, the family moved to Vienna, the Austrian capital, thus the boy grew up in a German speaking en­ vironment. In 1920, the family went to New York (USA) where Sam Gordon rapidly learnt English and got naturalized under the Americanized name of Gordon; as an adolescent he was fluent in three languages. In the early 1940s, Gordon got acquainted with Mildred Fellerman (b. 1923), a British teacher and Labour Party activist; when the two met again in Paris in 1947, they fell in love, and in 1948 they got married in the United States; in the 1950s they got a son.

    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.

    "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.
