Cooperation in Publishing Socialist Literature by Charles H. Kerr [Feb. 1903] The man behind America’s leading Marxist publishing house of the first two decades of the 20th Century explains his operation to prospective financial supporters in this essay, published as a pamphlet in 1903.

Rand School, IWW Headquarters, and Communist Victims of Raids: Lusk Raiders Seize Letters and Documents of Local IWW: Search Warrant is Served on Rebel Worker - Union’s Central Body Named: Trooper Draws Gun on Man Who Tries to Escape from Meeting Hall." [June 22, 1919]

Minutes of the Central Executive Committee of the old Communist Party of America, Sept. 7, 1919." The first physical meeting of the Central Executive Committee of the old CPA was held in Chicago immediately after the conclusion of the founding convention of the organization.

Executive Motions of the Central Executive Committee of the old Communist Party of America, Oct. 23, 1919. As was the case with the rival CLP, the Central Executive Committee of the old Communist Party of America initially used the mails rather than frequent physical meetings to make its organizational decisions.

Minutes of the Central Executive Committee, Communist Party of America, Chicago -- Nov. 15-17, 1919. The second physical meeting of the Central Executive Committee of the old CPA reaffirmed the organization’s opposition to unity with the Communist Labor Party "on account of fundamental differences of principle."

The Red Raids. [leaflet of the Communist Labor Party, January 1920] This leaflet was produced in the immediate aftermath of the Jan. 2, 1920 mass raids conducted under the direction of Attorney General Mitchell Palmer and serves as an answer to that coordinated assault on the organization’s existence.

Agreement for the Unification of the American Communist Party and the American Communist Labor Party [signed Jan. 12, 1920] Anxious to end the division of the American communist movement into two hostile organizations, a deal was brokered in Moscow by the Comintern between John Reed, international delegate of the Communist Labor Party, and John Anderson [née Kristap Beika], who had been sent to Soviet Russia on behalf of 5 of the main Language Federations which were to emerge in September 1919 as the Communist Party of America.

Report on Unity Conferences, January 28, 1920 by Alfred Wagenknecht A succinct but detailed chronicle of the early unity discussions between the unity committees of Communist Labor Party and Communist Party of America.

Letter to Alfred Wagenknecht in New York from Charles Dirba in New York, Feb. 9, 1920 Official reply of the CPA to the CLP’s unity "counterproposal" of Jan. 24, 1920, sent by the CPA’s unity committee of 3, headed by Charles Dirba.

Letter to Alfred Wagenknecht in New York from Charles Dirba in New York, Feb. 26, 1920 Owing to the disruption of the mails and the arrest of Executive Secretary of the CPA Ruthenberg in Detroit and subsequent detention in Chicago, the Feb. 9, 1920 letter of the CPA replying to the CLP’s Jan. 24, 1920 unity counterproposal.

Letter to the Central Executive Committee of the Communist Party of America in New York from the National Executive Committee of the Communist Labor Party in New York, March 9, 1920 Reply by Executive Secretary of the CLP Alfred Wagenknecht to the Charles Dirba’s letter of Feb. 26, 1920, which dealt a severe blow to the discussions over unity between the two rival American Communist organizations.

Letter to the National Executive Committee of the Communist Labor Party in New York from the Central Executive Committee of the Communist Party of America in New York, March 19, 1920 Reply by Executive Secretary of the old CPA C.E. Ruthenberg to the March 9, 1920 letter of the CLP on unity.

Letter to the Central Executive Committee of the Communist Party of America in New York from the National Executive Committee of the Communist Labor Party in New York, March 25, 1920 Reply by Executive Secretary of the CLP Alfred Wagenknecht to the March 19, 1920 letter on unity by the CPA.

Report to UCP Executive Secretary Alfred Wagenknecht in New York from William Costley, UCP DO10 in San Francisco, April 6, 1921 This report from the United Communist Party’s San Francisco District Organizer, William Costley, deals in large part with the UCP’s relationship with American blacks.

Letter to the Central Executive Committee of the Workers Party of America in Chicago from Benjamin Gitlow in Chicago, November 21, 1924 This short letter from Benjamin Gitlow to the governing CEC (of which he was a member) indicates the very real limitations of party discipline and the ability of the CEC to elicit compliance to its decisions.
