Paul Kligman (Interviewer)

Mr. Salsberg talks about the condition of the Jews in North America and in Eastern Europe, in the early part of the twentieth century, including their political and cultural life, Zionism, the Jewish Bund and Soviet communism. Also, he talks about his life as a young trade union executive in Chicago including an anecdote relating to a strike in 1927 which saw gangster involvement. Mr. Salsberg's left-wing political stand in the union movement and his problems arising from it are also given explanations. References are made to the issues of industrial unionism and piece-work. <60mn>
