30 June, 2006: The Early American Marxism Archive in the USA History section of the MIA has added the following 12 articles:
Arouse, Ye Slaves! by Eugene V. Debs [March 10, 1906] If Debs’ Sept. 1914 call for the mine workers of America to arm themselves and resist the violence of their employers by force wasn’t the most militant statement ever made by the Hoosier Socialist, this editorial written in response to the kidnapping of William Haywood and Charles Moyer and their transport to Idaho to face charges of capital murder certainly was.
The Cleveland Speech of May 27, 1917: A Recounting for the Jury, by C.E. Ruthenberg Along with his comrades Alfred Wagenknecht and Charles Baker, in July 1917 Cleveland Socialist Party leader C.E. Ruthenberg was tried for allegedly attempting to obstruct the draft in violation of the so-called Espionage Law.
Face to Face with Facts, by Eugene V. Debs [Oct. 17, 1918] Brief campaign-related article by Socialist Party orator Gene Debs.
Prosecution or Persecution? from The Milwaukee Leader [Oct. 17, 1918] Unsigned article from the front page of The Milwaukee Leader revealing the highly suspicious timing of a Federal Grand Jury indictment returned and pressed against Victor Berger.
Autocracy, Democracy, Hypocrisy, by Victor L. Berger [Oct. 18, 1918] Unsigned editorial from the front page of The Milwaukee Leader attributed to Victor L. Berger. Berger ironically contrasts the continued operation and access to the mails of left wing newspapers Vorwaerts and Unsere Zeit in “autocratic” Germany with the banning of similar publications from the mails of “democratic” America by the whim of one man, Postmaster General Albert Burleson.
In the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, by Victor L. Berger [Oct. 19, 1918] Another indictment of Woodrow Wilson’s Postmaster General, Albert Burleson, and the “cowed Congress” which passed the unconstitutional “Espionage Act,” which Berger states stood in violation of “every principle of Americanism.”
Five Russians Jailed for Distributing Nuorteva Reply: Three Men who Circulated Denunciation of Creel ’Expos’ of Bolsheviki Get 20 Years -- Woman 15. [Oct. 26, 1918] Unsigned news report from The Milwaukee Leader detailing the draconian sentences levied upon anarchists Samuel Lippman, Jacob Abrams, Hyman Lachowsky, and Mollie Steimer and the lesser sentence meted to their erstwhile comrade Hyman Rosanzky, who flipped to become state’s evidence.
The Soviet Republic, by Santeri Nuorteva [July 1919] This eloquent defense of the Bolshevik revolution by the Secretary of the Russian Soviet Government Bureau was published in the pages of an American academic journal. Nuorteva states that all the Soviet government wants is an end to military intervention and trade relations. An organized blockade had disrupted not only supplies into the country, but information from the country as well, he states, quoting an unnamed Western press correspondent who told Nuorteva that 95 percent of his telegraph dispatches from Soviet Russia had been intentionally delayed or stopped, particularly those mentioning in any way positive aspects of Soviet construction.
Decisions of the Second Annual Convention. [August 22, 1922] A formal set of convention theses adopted by the delegates to the August 1922 Second Convention of the unified CPA, held at Wolfskeel Resort outside of Bridgman, Michigan.
The Convention Has Spoken, unsigned lead article from The Communist [circa Sept. 1, 1922] This lead article in the official organ of the unified CPA announces the decision of the 2nd Convention (held in Aug. 1922 at Bridgman, Michigan) on the central question of whether the CPA should remain an underground organization or whether the underground organization should liquidate itself in favor of a fully legal organizational existence.
Letter to the Workers Party of America in Chicago from Vasil Kolarov in Moscow, July 12, 1923. This letter from General Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Communist International Kolarov came into the possession of American government representatives and was regularly trotted out as evidence that the American Communist movement followed “orders from Moscow.”
The Menace of Communism, by Hamilton Fish, Jr. [July 1931] Lengthy article by the Chairman and namesake of the first U.S. House of Representatives “Special Committee to Investigate Communist Activities in the United States” (1930-31). Fish unintentionally provides an interesting study of anti-Communist ideology in the early 1930s. Fish vastly, and with clear ulterior motive, overestimates the number of Communists in America at “5 or 600,000” well disciplined adherents who “take their orders from Moscow and are proud of it.”

26 June, 2006: The Early American Marxism Archive in the USA History section of the MIA has added the following 4 articles on various Socialist Party positions on WWI.
The Real Fatherland by Mary Marcy [Sept. 1914] Anti-patriotic editorial from the pages of The International Socialist Review written in response to the eruption of the European war in August 1914. Editor Mary Marcy addresses herself to the workers of the entire world, combatant nations and Americans alike, arguing that “Patriotism means the love of the land in which you were born—that and nothing more. And why should you love that land any more than any other?”
The Gunmen and the Miners by Eugene V. Debs [Sept. 1914] Probably the most militant article that Socialist leader Gene Debs ever wrote, published in the pages of Charles Kerr’s International Socialist Review. Citing recurring violence by company-employed “mine guards” in strikes at Paint Creek, Calumet, and Ludlow, Debs demands that the United Mine Workers and Western Federation of Miners systematically arm their members to meet force with force in the class war.
The Fourth Liberty Loan by Victor L. Berger [Sept. 28, 1918] Excerpt from an Victor Berger “Current Topics” column in which he urges Socialist Party members and readers of The Milwaukee Leader to actively purchase bonds from the 4th Liberty Loan, “not because the Socialists or the readers of The Leader endorse this war, or any other war—but because the government has the power to tax the citizens of this country for manpower and money...”
Punishment of Political Offenders in Germany and America by Victor L. Berger [Oct. 10, 1918] An Victor Berger “Current Topics” column in which he ironically describes the forthcoming amnesty of political prisoners in “autocratic” Germany with the draconian punishment meted out to political objectors for exercising their free speech rights in what Berger called “the American ’democracy,’ so called.”

21 June, 2006: The Early American Marxism Archive in the USA History section of the MIA has added the following 6 articles from the Milwaukee Leader, Milwaukee’s leading daily newspaper and journal for the Socialist Party’s Milwaukee branch. These articles report on the infamous 1918 Debs Sedition Trial in Ohio. Debs was put on trial for sedition for his firm Internaitonalist position of opposing US entry into World War I.
Debs Trial Opens Monday [Sept. 9]; Defendant Makes Speeches As Lawyers Prepare Case: Seymour Stedman, Attorney for Defense, Says No Attempt Will Be Made to Excuse or Apologize for Any Statement by Veteran Socialist—Recognizes Trial as Attack on Socialism, by J. Louis Engdahl [Sept. 9, 1918] With war hysteria at a fever pitch the Wilson administration pushed forward its agenda of stomping out left wing dissent by the exertion of crude state power. Four time Socialist Party Presidential candidate Eugene V. Debs was hauled before the bar on September 9, 1918, to answer for spoken words he uttered to the Ohio Socialist Party convention at Canton in June.
Seven Socialists at Debs Trial Held for Applause After Stedman’s Speech: Outburst Follows Attorney’s Acceptance of Challenge by Prosecution—Jury Made up Mostly of Farmers Accepted—Average Age of Jurors 70. Prosecution Omits Parts of Canton Speech," by J. Louis Engdahl [Sept. 10, 1918] Report of the first day of the Debs trial for violation of the so-called Espionage Act, as reported in the pages of the Milwaukee Leader.
C.E. Ruthenberg Hurried from Canton Workhouse to Testify in Debs’ Free Speech Trial: Prosecution Introduces St. Louis Program Over Objections by Stedman—Government Trusts Boy Office Stenographer with Taking Down Address on which Indictment is Based, by J. Louis Engdahl [Sept. 10, 1918] Report of the second day of the Debs trial for violation of the so-called Espionage Act, as reported in the pages of the Milwaukee Leader.
Jury in Eugene Debs’ Trial on Free Speech Gets Its Instructions: Former Candidate for President Makes Address in Own Defense, Refusing to Retract Anything Uttered in his Canton Talk—Case Will Be Appealed if Jury Returns Verdict of Guilty, by J. Louis Engdahl [Sept. 10, 1918] Report of the third day of the Debs trial for violation of the so-called Espionage Act, as reported in the pages of the Milwaukee Leader.
Debs Held Guilty on Three Counts, Will File Appeal: Veteran Socialist Received Verdict Which May Mean 20 Years in Prison with Same Congenial Smile that has Endeared Him to Millions. Declares He has No Fault to Find with Decision. Sentence May be Passed Saturday [Sept. 14], by J. Louis Engdahl [Sept. 13, 1918] Report of the jury verdict, coming after the 3 day trial in Cleveland of Eugene Debs for alleged violation of the so-called Espionage Act.
Debs Sentenced to 10 Years Jail on Three Counts: Socialist is Allowed Bail Pending Hearing on Appeal Only on Condition He Return to Home in Terre Haute, Ind., and Remain There Until Case is Passed On: To Serve Time in Moundsville, W.Va., by J. Louis Engdahl [Sept. 14, 1918] Final report of J. Louis Engdahl to the readers of the Milwaukee Leader on the 4 day Debs free speech trial of Sept. 1918.

21 June, 2006: The Early American Marxism Archive in the USA History section of the MIA has added the following 12 original documents from the history of early American Marxism.
Our Patriotism and Theirs, by Morris Hillquit [Nov. 4, 1916] Socialist Party leading luminary and Congressional candidate Morris Hillquit responds to charges made by the right that the Socialists are "devoid of patriotism." To this Hillquit responds that, quite to the contrary, only the Socialists stand for "true and enlightened patriotism."
Wisconsin Socialist Platform" [as published Aug. 31, 1918] The Social Democratic Party of Wisconsin is sometimes caricatured as a parochial and racist organization, whose sole program was the winning of elective office to implement a laundry list of ameliorative liberal reforms.
Does Conviction Mean Guilt? An Editorial on the Chicago IWW Trial from The Milwaukee Leader, September 3, 1918. During the Cold War, a mythology sprang up -- particularly among the Social Democratic Right -- about the ideology and practice of the Social Democratic Party of Wisconsin and its de facto official organ, Victor Berger's Milwaukee Leader.
Protest Letter Regarding Jay Lovestone to the CEC of the Communist Party of America from the CPA's Boston District Organization, March 24, 1920. Jay Lovestone's coy and unilluminating testimony as a witness subpoenaed by the prosecution in the trial of Harry Winitsky was not well received by many in the ranks of the Communist Party of America, as this heated protest from the Boston District Organization to the national office amply attests.
Report on CPA Sub-District 4-C [Detroit] to Executive Secretary C.E. Ruthenberg from SDO "E.A. Carroll." March 25, 1920 This report of the Detroit Sub-District Organizer of the Communist Party of America is an interesting source of local detail.
Letter to C.E. Ruthenberg in New York from Leonid Belsky in Chicago, March 28, 1920. This extremely important letter from Chicago District Organizer Leonid Belsky ["Ed Fisher"] to Executive Secretary C.E. Ruthenberg demonstrates that it was not Ruthenberg's personal dissatisfaction with the pace of unity negotiations with the Communist Labor Party or sudden aversion to the nature or tactics of the component language federations of the CPA that prompted the April 1920 party split, but rather that this break was the result of factional war within the party with volition coming from the Chicago organization, not Ruthenberg.
Letter to C.E. Ruthenberg in New York from I.E. Ferguson in Chicago, March 31, 1920. Another important early letter shedding light upon the April 1920 CPA split.
Letter to Leonid Belsky in Chicago from C.E. Ruthenberg in New York, April 7, 1920. With a split of the CPA between the Chicago organization and the New York-based CEC majority fairly clearly in the cards, Executive Secretary C.E. Ruthenberg writes to Chicago DO Belsky to announce whether or not he would actively support the revolt (his statement to the CEC not included with the archival document).
Letter to C.E. Ruthenberg in New York from Leonid Belsky in Chicago, April 10, 1920. With CPA Executive Secretary's Ruthenberg's ultimatum to the CEC majority in hand, Chicago DO Belsky writes back to reassure him: "Your stand is clear and excellent and without doubt will voice the opinion of the membership throughout the country..."
Letter to C.E. Ruthenberg in New York from Charles Dirba in New York, April 18, 1920. On April 18, 1920, Executive Secretary C.E. Ruthenberg and a handful of close associates walked out of the meeting of the CPA's Central Executive Committee.
Letter from Leonid Belsky in Chicago to C.E. Ruthenberg in New York, April 20, 1920. This brief letter from Chicago DO Belsky to factional leader C.E. Ruthenberg notes that the faction's manifesto ["Make the Party a 'Party of Action'"] was in the hands of the printer, with the manifesto to be published in 6 languages: English, Russian, Lithuanian, Polish, Yiddish, and Croatian.

19 June 2006: The Early American Marxism Archive in the USA History section of the MIA has added the following original documents from the history of early American Marxism :
The Third International, by Alexandra Kollontai [Oct. 23, 1915] Prominent Russian Bolshevik Alexandra Kollontai made her way to the United States in the Fall of 1915, where she conducted a brief lecture tour under the auspices of the German Federation of the Socialist Party of America.
Report of the Delegate of the Lithuanian Socialist Federation to the Conference of the Russian Immigrant Revolutionary Socialist Federations, by I.J. Kravcevic [held Feb. 9, 1919] Due to the high survival rate of periodicals and documents of the Anglophonic Left Wing movement of 1919 (and the ability of scholars to make use of them), we know a great deal more about the ideas and actions of the small band of English-speakers in New York than we do about a larger parallel movement in the ranks of the Socialist Party among those who spoke Russian, Lithuanian, Yiddish, Latvian, Croatian, Ukrainian, Finnish, Polish, or any other of about a half dozen languages.
Minutes of the Central Executive Committee, Communist Party of America, Chicago -- Nov. 15-17, 1919. ** REVISED AND EXPANDED SECOND EDITION **
What Communism Means! Proclamation by the Central Executive Committee of the Communist Party of America. [circa February 1920] Propaganda leaflet of the Communist Party America issued in the immediate aftermath of the infamous "Palmer Raids" of January 1920. American government reaction against the Communist movement "has outdone the blackest acts of the Tsar in the days of Darkest Russia," the leaflet claims.
Down With the Betrayers of the Workers Proclamation to the Striking Railwaymen by the Central Executive Committee of the Communist Party of America. [1920] Newsprint agitational leaflet issued by the Communist Party of America in New York on behalf of the ongoing wildcat strike of railway employees.
Outline for a History of the Communist Party in America, by Alexander Bittelman [circa 1923] One of the more obscure general histories of the early American Communist movement, these seem to have been extensive notes for a book-length treatment, somehow obtained and appended to the record of 1930 Congressional hearings on the American Communist movement.

16 June 2006: Introducing the Bhagat Singh Internet
Archive. Bhagat Singh was a celebrated revolutionary and a major figure in the Indian independence movement of the early Twentieth Century. Singh was active in revolutionary struggle from an early age and he was briefly affiliated with the Mohandas Ghandi's "Non-Cooperation" movement, although Singh would break with Ghandi's philosophy of non-violent resistance later in life. Singh embraced atheism and Marxism-Leninism and integrated these key components into his philosophy of revolutionary struggle. Bhagat Singh was imprisoned for his revolutionary activities and became an outspoken critic of the penal system during his confinement. He was executed in 1931.
Documents in this new archive include the following:

15 June 2006: The Early American Marxism Archive in the USA History section of the MIA has added the following original documents from the history of early American Marxism focusing on the Socialist Party and it’s youth group, the YPSL, plus some very early writings of E.V. Debs before he was a socialist:
Life of Eugene V. Debs, Grand Secretary and Treasurer. [September 1888] A rare early (pre-ARU) biography of Eugene Debs, reprinted from the 1888 convention book of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen.
