JOHANNINGSMEIER The organization knownas the Trade UnionUnity League(TUUL) came intoformal existenceat anAugust 1929 conferenceof Communists and radical unionistsin Cleveland.The TUUL’s purposewas to create and nourish openly Communist-led unionsthat wereto be independent of the American Federation ofLabor in industries suchas mining, textile, steeland auto. When the TUUL was created, a numberof the CommunistParty’ s mostexperienced activists weresuspicious of the sectarian logic inherentin theTUUL’ s program. In Moscow,where the creation ofnew unions had beendebated by theCommunists the previous year, someAmericans— working within their establishedAFL unions—had argued furiously against its creation,loudly ac- cusingits promoters ofneedless schism. The controversyeven emerged openly for a time in theCommunist press in theUnited States. In 1934, after ve years ofaggressive butmostly unproductiveorganizing, theTUUL was formally dissolved.After the Comintern’s formal inauguration ofthe Popular Front in 1935 many ofthe same organizers whohad workedin theobscure and ephemeral TUULunions aided in the organization ofthe enduring industrial unionsof the CIO. 1 Historiansof American labor andradicalism have had difculty detectingany legitimate rationale for thefounding of theTUUL.

  • (Communist) Party and the Cloakmakers' Strike of 1926
    SERVANTS OF TWO MASTERS: THE DILEMMA OF GRASSROOTS COMMUNIST 1 LEADERS IN THE CLOAKMAKERS’ STRIKE OF 1926. On September 18, 1926 Charles Zimmerman, Joseph Boruchowitz, and Rose Wortis, Communist leaders within the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, met at party headquarters at 114 East 14th Street with Benjamin Gitlow, William Weinstone, and Joseph Zack, representatives of the Needle Trades Committee, that organ of the Workers’ (Communist) Party that dealt with union affairs. They met to get Party approval for a favorable settlement the union leaders had negotiated—against all odds and after eleven weeks of a hard fought strike— with leading employers in the women’s garment industry. All those at the meeting hoped that this success would be merely a step toward Communist control of one of the nation’s largest trade unions. A long discussion of “what is more dangerous to true Leninism, a left wing or a right wing deviation” preceded consideration of the issues at hand, but then they got down to business, the union leaders made their case and the party leaders gave the proposed settlement their stamp of approval. Final approval was now required from the union “leading fraction” of the Workers’ Party, the 150-200 Communist or Communist-allied shop chairmen from the ILGWU strike halls who were simultaneously having their own meeting on another floor of the same building. This was a formality, a rubber stamp really, since as historian Melech Epstein, a party member at the time and present at the event, noted, “It was a foregone conclusion that the leading fraction would accept a decision handed down by the party.” Together with the leaders of the Workers’ Party, the strike leaders went to meet this group.
