When the Amalgamated Clothing Workers met in Chicago on May 8, 1922, a message was sent from Moscow by [[William Z. Foster]], then national chairman of the Communist Party. It read: "The defeat of the employers is the natural result of the splendid spirit of the Amalgamated. Many times in my present tour speaking to your unions I marveled at this growing spirit but since coming to this country I marvel no longer. It is the spirit of the Russian revolution, the spirit that will lead the workers to emancipation."

When the Congress of Industrial Organizations was formed all the leaders were aware that certain Communist unions were moving in. Hillman knew Michael Quill, Joseph Curran, [[Harry Bridges]], Ben Gold, Abram Flasner and numerous others who had moved into the CIO were Communists. And Hillman understood Communists in labor unions are not interested in the welfare of the members but in the use of the labor union apparatus for revolutionary activities.
