    How workers mobilized to resist the McCarthyite witch hunt

    Protest against House Un-American Activities Committee hearing at San Francisco City Hall in 1960, after being hit by cop firehoses. In 1953 HUAC met in the same place targeting unionists as “subversives.” Thousands protested, forcing “government witch hunters to cut and run.”

    One of Pathfinder’s Books of the Month for July is Labor’s Giant Step — The First Twenty Years of the CIO: 1936-55 by Art Preis. Out of his experiences in the labor battles of the 1930s, Preis became a staff writer for the Militant. His book deals with those great class-struggle upheavals, out of which strong industrial unions were built. This excerpt from “The witch hunt and labor struggles” describes how all wings of capitalist politics embraced McCarthyism to target the labor movement, trampling on constitutional rights. Copyright © 1972 by Pathfinder Press. Reprinted by permission.

    BY ART PREIS

    The assault on the organized workers during the first Eisenhower administration was primarily one which came under the heading of “McCarthyism.” All wings and tendencies of capitalist politics, the Democratic liberals in Congress included, vied in a campaign of political terrorism disguised as anti-communism. The stifling atmosphere of intimidation created by threat of the communist smear, which was McCarthy’s specialty, was thickened by new repressive legislation and direct victimization.

    Behind the general smoke screen of anti-communism, one of the most sinister anti-union bills was introduced into the Senate in April 1953 by Senator John Marshall Butler, Maryland Republican. He had been elected with Senator Joseph McCarthy’s direct aid. Butler’s bill required the National Labor Relations Board to deny collective bargaining recognition or elections to any union under “investigation” by the Subversive Activities Control Board set up under the McCarran-Kilgore Act of 1950. Such investigation and denial of NLRB certification were to be based on any employer’s mere complaint that a union seeking collective bargaining rights was “communist dominated.” If the Subversive Board should “find” against the union, the latter would be permanently banned by the NLRB unless and until such a ruling was reversed by a regular federal court.

    On November 1, 1953, the special Senate Internal Security subcommittee, headed by McCarthy’s protege, Senator Butler, opened hearings on “Communist penetration of our trade unions.” The targets of this inquisition, it was announced, were several of the independent unions which had split from the CIO in 1950, including the United Electrical Workers and the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, engaged at the time in conflicts with large corporations. McCarthy carried out one of his highly publicized and televised inquisitions of alleged Communists in General Electric plants in Massachusetts. Among those who received the stigma of his wild charges and innuendo-loaded questions were local officers of the CIO International Union of Electrical Workers.

    McCarthy also conducted a smear hearing, February 19 and 20, 1954, in Albany, New York, on alleged subversive activity by the independent United Electrical Workers in General Electric’s Schenectady plant. Hundreds of union workers traveled to Albany at their own expense and the loss of a day’s pay to voice their opposition. “The workers jammed the hearing room and hundreds more milled through the corridors and outside the building,” reported Harry Ring in The Militant. “They booed and jeered McCarthy’s tirades and shouted approval of seven subpoenaed GE workers who defied the witch-hunters. Workers in the corridors held aloft for photographers an outsized valentine inscribed: ‘GE Loves McCarthy.’”

    A Negro worker, amid vigorous applause, turned the attack on McCarthy and denounced him. When McCarthy tried to intimidate this witness, he shouted back: “Go down South and subpoena Governor Byrnes and Talmadge. Yes, subpoena those enemies of my people, of America. Why don’t you investigate subversion by GE, of the Jim Crow system, of the profits taken from the sweat of my people? You fascist bum, why don’t you investigate that?”

    Ring further reported: “When the seventh witness leaned forward in the stand to tell him, ‘I don’t want to be framed. I will rest upon the Fifth Amendment which guarantees that innocent people be protected,’ McCarthy suddenly announced that he had received an ‘urgent’ phone call from New York City and abruptly ended the hearings. He left the courthouse with the boos of the audience ringing in his ears.” He never went back.

    A companion offensive against unions was unloosed by the House Un-American Activities Committee. The latter group, headed by Congressman Harold H. Velde, a Republican, ran into an unforeseen obstacle when it barged into San Francisco to open a “subversive” hearing in City Hall. Some 6,000 members of Local 10, ILWU (independent), “hit the bricks” on December 3, 1953, to protest Velde’s investigation. The waterfront was paralyzed. The CIO Council in the East Bay area denounced the Velde committee as an enemy of democratic rights. The hearings were flooded with “unfriendly witnesses” and “unfriendly” spectators. Scheduled to last 11 days, the hearings were hastily terminated after five days. Velde retreated ignominiously. At the first real resistance by organized labor, the government witch-hunters had to cut and run.

    Unfortunately, the top labor leaders did little more than whine that McCarthy, Velde and the like were not “really interested in suppressing communism.” That objective, it appeared, was “sincerely” desired by the Democratic liberals in Congress, the traditional “defenders” of civil liberties and labor’s rights. …

    It is an irrefutable fact that the New Deal-Fair Deal liberals were the chief authors and sponsors of the first federal laws to (1) make mere opinion a crime (the Smith Act of 1940, rushed through by a Democratic Congress and signed by President Roosevelt); (2) establish concentration (detention) camps in America where political dissenters can be imprisoned without trial during a “national emergency” (McCarran-Kilgore Internal Security Act of 1950); and (3) outlaw a political party (Communist Control Act of 1954).

    D&D 5E Help Running a Courtroom Trial/Witch-Hunt

    Here's the scenario: The current BBEG in my campaign is an evil priest whose MO is pretending to be a good priest so he can keep tabs on the good guys. You know the old shtick. He's recently run into some legal trouble because one of the adventurers found out his secret. Basically, the priest was seen using an unholy symbol by the adventurer, which he identified as such after consulting with a real good priest, who succeeded on a Religion check, identifying the evil cult the symbol belonged to. Instead of dealing with the evil priest himself, however, the adventurer went to the local authorities and accused the priest of practicing "dark magic" which happens to be a big no-no in this community. His testimony is based on his identification of the priest's symbol. The priest was apprehended and his quarters were searched, but no symbol was found because the priest keeps it hidden in a different location when he's in disguise.

    So now it's the priest's word against the adventurer's, with the other priest offering an expert opinion but having witnessed nothing. The evil priest was taken into custody because of the seriousness of the charge, but because witchcraft falls outside the local magistrate's jurisdiction, an inquisitor NPC has been sent for under the authority of the king, modeled after the Witchfinder General. This corrupt inquisitor is put in charge of the proceedings, interrogates the witnesses, and begins a general witch-hunt in the local community, the goal of which is to increase his own power and wealth.

    So my question is how to run this trial in a way that's interesting and fun for the players. The probable outcome I'm forseeing is that the evil priest bribes the inquisitor to get him off, all the while deceiving him into thinking he's not really aligned with the dark forces. Important NPCs or members of the party itself are accused of witchcraft and possibly interrogated themselves. The magistrate is good and presides over all but is also deceived and will generally defer to the recommendations of the witchfinder. The PCs essentially end up in a very sticky situation that they have to deal with while the bad guy gets away. At the same time I want the players to have a lot of agency.

    I don't have much experience running this type of interaction, so I was wondering if there were any good ideas for a court trial floating around out there in the minds of EN World.

    Reviews for "Introducing Plant Magic Carpet Spirea: The Perfect Plant for Container Gardens"

    1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the plant magic carpet spirea. I had heard great things about it and was excited to add some color to my garden. However, the plant did not live up to my expectations. It barely bloomed and the leaves were constantly drooping. I tried different watering techniques and even moved it to a different spot in my garden, but nothing seemed to help. Overall, I think there are better options out there for colorful and low-maintenance plants.

    2. Sarah - 1 star - I would not recommend the plant magic carpet spirea. I bought it because it was marketed as a "magic carpet" that would transform my garden with vibrant colors. However, the plant failed to deliver. The colors were dull and the blooms were underwhelming. I also found it difficult to care for as it required constant pruning and attention. It was a frustrating experience and I regretted wasting my money on this plant.

    3. Mark - 2 stars - The plant magic carpet spirea did not live up to its name for me. I planted it in my front yard hoping for a colorful and eye-catching display, but it was nowhere near as vibrant as I had hoped. The blooms were sparse and faded quickly, leaving me with a lackluster plant. I followed the care instructions carefully but still couldn't achieve the desired results. I would recommend looking for other options if you're seeking a truly stunning and low-maintenance plant for your garden.

    4. Emily - 2 stars - I have mixed feelings about the plant magic carpet spirea. On one hand, it did provide some color to my garden and the leaves had an interesting texture. However, it required a lot of maintenance and didn't thrive as well as other plants in my garden. The blooms were also not as impressive as I had expected. I think there are better options out there if you want a plant that requires less effort and provides more visual impact.
