the Urban League, and other Black organizations, and often worked
closely with the ACLU. Their influence on advertising with some major

December 18, 1914, a spin-off of the Emergency Peace Federation, led

National Committee members had Communist connections. In 1935,

State. It attempts not only to protect crime, but to encourage attacks
upon our institutions in every form.” A September, 1923 report by the
United Mine Workers of America, said that the group “is working in
