    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE BELLY OF THE HUAC: THE RED PROBES OF HOLLYWOOD, 1947-1952 Jack D. Meeks, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Directed By: Dr. Maurine Beasley, Journalism The House Un-American Activities Committee, popularly known as the HUAC, conducted two investigations of the movie industry, in 1947 and again in 1951-1952. The goal was to determine the extent of communist infiltration in Hollywood and whether communist propaganda had made it into American movies. The spotlight that the HUAC shone on Tinsel Town led to the blacklisting of approximately 300 Hollywood professionals. This, along with the HUAC’s insistence that witnesses testifying under oath identify others that they knew to be communists, contributed to the Committee’s notoriety. Until now, historians have concentrated on offering accounts of the HUAC’s practice of naming names, its scrutiny of movies for propaganda, and its intervention in Hollywood union disputes. The HUAC’s sealed files were first opened to scholars in 2001. This study is the first to draw extensively on these newly available documents in an effort to reevaluate the HUAC’s Hollywood probes. This study assesses four areas in which the new evidence indicates significant, fresh findings. First, a detailed analysis of the Committee’s investigatory methods reveals that most of the HUAC’s information came from a careful, on-going analysis of the communist press, rather than techniques such as surveillance, wiretaps and other cloak and dagger activities. Second, the evidence shows the crucial role played by two brothers, both German communists living as refugees in America during World War II, in motivating the Committee to launch its first Hollywood probe.

MARITIME UNlONS & U.S. SHIPPING POLICY by JON LUCAS SUBMITTED IN PARTlAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF MARINE AFFAIRS UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 1979 ii ABSTRACT This paper explores the role played by U.S. maritime unions in influencing the formation of American shipping policy. The thesis of the paper is that maritime unions have exerted great influence on le­ gislators, through lobbying efforts to foster special-interest legis­ lation which benefits union members at the expense of the taxpayer. The research is based on standard works on shipping and maritime labor relations, Hearings of the House and Senate Merchant Marine Com­ mittees, and newspaper and magazine articles which trace the progress of various pieces of maritime legislation. Only the activities of the seagoing unions are discussed, and the paper does not deal with similar activities by longshoremen's unions and other labor organizations in­ directly associated with the maritime industry.

  • Canada's Cold War in Fur Joan Sangster—Trent University

    Canada's Cold War in Fur Joan Sangster—Trent University

    Left History 13_2FinalTextQuark 3/20/09 1:44 PM Page 10 Canada’s Cold War in Fur Joan Sangster—Trent University Intense battles within the trade union movement over ideology and strategy are an integral part of Canadian working-class history throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Those debates were often intertwined with the history of the left, a fractious category that included divergent groups of revolutionaries and reformists, social democrats, and communists, who might disagree vehemently with each other, while embracing a similar conviction that leftists should be involved in the labour movement. Undoubtedly, the most dramatic instance of intra-left struggle within the trade union movement occurred during the Cold War, as social democrats and their allies led a largely successful campaign to remove known and suspected communists—and the unions they led—from trade union centrals like the Trades and Labour Congress (TLC) and the Canadian Congress of Labour (CCL). The intense Cold War battles fought roughly between 1946 and 1956, however, had deep roots in the interwar period, and they also had repercus- sions for labour long after ‘communist’ unions had been expelled form the TLC and CCL. This article explores one as yet undocumented Cold War battle fought within the Canadian International Fur and Leather Workers Union (IFLWU), with a particular focus on the Toronto labour scene. Canada’s Cold War in fur was shaped by international union politics, fierce ideological differences, state policies on both sides of the 49th
  • A Program for Militant Trade Unionism

    A Program for Militant Trade Unionism

    WHERE IS THE CIO GOING? By GEORGE MORRIS What happened to the c.I.O.? The question is heard on all sides. For some time it has been evident that the c.I.O. was being led away from the fighting, drive-ahead spirit that won it great sup­ port in earlier days. The sweeping organizing drives and pace­ setting economic gains that made it so attractive to the workers in the past are now giving way to internal strife, inter-union raid­ ing, Red-baiting, witch-hunting, stagnation and decline. The c.I.O.'s leaders were once the targets of union-haters. They were Red-baited. Today the union-haters sing hosannas to most of these very leaders beCause they themselves picked up Red-baiting and witch-hunting as weapons against progressives in the unions. The recent C.1.O. convention in Portland brought the long de­ veloping situation to a head. Differences carne out into the open and were fought out between the dominant Right and progressive Left. For the first time a c.I.O. convention faced two sets of resolutions. What's behind this · division in the C.1.O.? Who is responsible for it? How can the c.I.O. be brought back to the forward-looking path it followed in its earlier days? For an adequate answer to those questions we should first retrace the c.I.O.'s development both to the time of its birth-days when it was united and progressive -and further back, to the historic conditions that led to its rise.
