  The Hudson River Mill Project
International Paper made a symbolic statement of the importance of the Hudson River Mill to the Corinth community when it built a new corporate headquarters on Pine Street in 1905.
The building's smooth brick upper story where Company management was located, and the rough textured granite lower level where workers entered to punch their time cards and collect their pay, served as an symbolic expression of the subordinate relationship between management and labor that was common to the era.
International Paper's Pure-Pak Division donated the UNICEF collection cartons that were distributed annually at Halloween, and primary grade children also attended programs at the Corinth School Forest that were created with funds provided by the International Paper Company Foundation.

 International Socialist Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
A 1937 Gallup poll showed that at least 21 percent of the population supported the formation of a national farmer-labor party as an alternative to the Democrats and Republicans.32 In both Wisconsin and Minnesota, independent farmer-labor parties won important victories against the two major parties in the first half of the decade.
Workers had to break down racial barriers and build genuine unity and solidarity; they had to prepare themselves to confront the violence of the bosses, which grew in ferocity during this period; they had to fight against anti-communism; and they had to break with the Democrats and the Republicans and form an independent working-class party.
Most workers who’d joined the CP during the course of the 1930s left by the end of the decade, undoubtedly confused and demoralized by the experience, with a grossly distorted vision of socialism.

 Revolutionaries in Britain and the struggle against imperialist war, Part 4: How the Trotskyists enlisted in WW2 | ...
The Fourth International was founded on the basis that capitalism was in its ‘death throes’, but unlike the Italian Communist Left which defended the same position, Trotsky concluded from this that revolution was on the immediate agenda (1).
Far from warning workers against the dangers of these capitalist organs, which were essential to the bourgeoisie for mobilising workers behind a war to defend democracy, they called for the election of a Labour government with a full ‘socialist’ (i.e.

The Communist International would reject the idea that socialists should be conscientious objectors: they should not, it proclaimed, cut themselves off from the experience of the rest of the working class, but go with them and work to turn them against the ruling class and its wars.
It was possible, of course, to conceive of such a new International not as Trotsky did, as a new Communist International, but as a general regroupment of all nominally revolutionary organisations; and that is how the ILP leaders saw it.
