In the Wind
May 10, 1941 issue

add to cart   close window

When plans for the May Day parade in 1941 were being made in New York, the Socialist Workers' Party asked the United May Day Committee for permission to participate. They were refused-on the ground that the parade was "non-political." The Communist Party marched as a unit. A strike at the Erie plant of the Continental Rubber Company was listed in the press as a stoppage of defense industry. Actually, the plant made rubber mountings for wastebaskets, ash trays and the like. Its chief order at the time of the strike was for wastebasket mountings for the OPM offices in Washington.
