He was, so the warrant read, subject to deportation under the "Act of October 16 , 1 9 1 8 , as amended, for the reason that you have been prior to entry a member of the following class: an alien who is a member of an organi­ zation which was the direct predecessor of the Communist Party of the United States, to wit The Communist Party of America."^ A hearing, originally arranged for April 7» 1953» but delayed until July 27 because of Corey's poor health, was held; but a ruling was not handed down at that time. The Special Inquiry Officer in charge of the case adjourned the hearing pending the receipt of a full report of Corey's activities o during the previous ten years. [The testimony during the hearing had focused primarily on Corey's early writings and political activities.] The hearing was not reconvened, and the question of the defendant's guilt or innocence, as charged, was never formally settled.

When the TUUL was created, a numberof the CommunistParty’ s mostexperienced activists weresuspicious of the sectarian logic inherentin theTUUL’ s program.

E. Ruthenberg and I. E. Ferguson presented in the following pages, contain what is probably the most revolu- tionary challenge made in a court in the United States. The defendants presented their views without compromise or apology. Their attitude was: We believe these to be the facts as to the existing industrial system and these the principles which must guide the working class in abolishing that system. You may send MS to prison for proclaiming our adherence to these principles, but that threat will not cause us to change our belief in and support of these principles. The facts in regard to the case, from the record of which the testimony and speech contained herein are taken, are as follows: On June 21st to June 24th, 1919, there was held in New York City a conference of delegates representing the Left Wing of the Socialist Party for the purpose of deciding upon further ac- tion to secure a restatement of the principles of the Socialist Party in harmony with Revolutionary Socialism, or Communism, and to gain control of that organization for the Left Wing.

    (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.

Fourth Series. Edited by I. Fetscher. (Schriften der evangeli- schen Studiengemeinschaft 7) Tiibingen: J.C.B. Mohr, 1962. Pp. vi, 258. DM 12. When, sometime around 1952, the Research Commission of the German Evangelical Academies decided to establish a special committee for studies in Marxism, it probably did not foresee that within a few years the projected study group would become one of the West's major centers of studies in this field. However, in 1954, as the first collection of articles appeared in print, it was at once obvious that the Evangelical Academies had succeeded in gathering a number of highly competent historians, sociologists, economists, lawyers, phi- losophers, and theologians who had in common the desire to evaluate Marxist thought as objectively as possible and, at the same time, to rethink the tenets of Christianity in the light of this challenge. Though not all of them were Protestants, they all seemed to share in an attitude characteristic of today's German Protestant intellectuals, the conviction that in recent decades man and his centuries-old culture have set foot in a danger area and that this danger can be coped with only by a genuine understanding of the past and, in par- ticular, by calling to account the contemporary relationship to the great spiritual tradition originating from German Idealism.
