July 19, 1991
DURBAN, South Africa — Fifty thousand people at King’s Park Stadium here
gave a tumultuous welcome July 7 to the newly elected leadership of the
African National Congress.
The event came at the end of the ANC’s five-day 48th National
Conference, the first such meeting held in South Africa in more than 30
years.
Singing freedom songs and chanting slogans, the overwhelmingly young
crowd cheered and saluted the leadership.
Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo, elected president and chairperson of
the ANC respectively, reported on the conference’s decisions and
introduced the liberation organization’s National Executive Committee
and the six national officers elected by the 2,200 delegates in a secret
ballot.
July 25, 1966
CLEVELAND, July 17 — Disorderly assembly charges were dismissed last
week against all 29 defendants arrested in a midnight raid by police and
state liquor agents at the Eugene V. Debs Hall here last November.
Another defendant was found not guilty of the charge that he was a
keeper of an establishment for illegal sale of liquor.
On separate charges, two defendants were found guilty of minor liquor
law violations.
Herman Kirsch, Chairman of the Socialist Workers Party of Ohio,
testified that his organization maintains Debs Hall, where a benefit
buffet for the Militant was held last Nov. 13. “The raid on Debs Hall
was a new low in crude political harassment,” Mr. Kirsch said. “They
used an unnamed informant’s tip as an excuse.”
July 19, 1941
MINNEAPOLIS, July 15 — Acting on the demand of the Roosevelt
Administration, a federal grand jury handed down indictments on
“seditious conspiracy” charges against 29 CIO leaders and Socialist
Workers Party members.
The leaders of Local 544-CIO — President Miles B. Dunne, Vice President
George Frosig, Secretary-Treasurer Kelly Postal, Organizers V.R. Dunne,
Ray Rainbolt, Harry De Boer, Emil Hansen and Walter Hagstrom — were
among those indicted.
James P. Cannon, National Secretary of the Socialist Workers Party;
Farrell Dobbs, the party’s Labor Secretary; Felix Morrow, editor of the
THE MILITANT, were among the Socialist Workers Party members indicted.
Albert Goldman, Trotsky’s attorney in his lifetime and now attorney for
the Socialist Workers Party, was likewise named.
