What Constitutes a "Hazard"

Description:

Edited draft of pamphlet. Written in English, presumably with the help of the I.W.O.'s legal team, it is formulated in response to the decision dissolving the I.W.O. in New York State on the grounds that it poses a hazard. This document rehearses the I.W.O.'s arguments as to why New York State, and Judge Greenberg erred in making that determination and discusses the issues of Communist affiliation and whether the I.W.O's leadership was prepared to resign. P. 10 has a handwritten note in Yiddish, as well as contains some language in English criticizing the Workmen's Circle for being anti-Soviet. Notes IWO membership as 162,000.
