Timeline
In addition to his written works, Morris gave an Oral history in 1980, whose topics include:
Morris' 1971 article on the police received mention in 2015 Workers World newspaper, republished in 2020 in Struggle for Socialism newspaper:
In October 1964, an explosive device arrived by mail to the offices of The Worker, addressed to Morris; a police bomb squad dismantled it. It was the second such bomb in a week, and members of the police in both Chicago and New York, as well as the US Post Office Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the attempted bombings.
In late 1963, the FBI noted that Morris wrote in The Worker about "the 'enigma' of Oswald," which needed clearing as to whether the FBI, CIA, State Department, or Dallas police department had set Oswald up as an "undercover plant" in the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy.
In 1959, the US Congress questioned Harry Bridges about Morris.
In 1959 and 1966, Morris took "extended trips" to the USSR to study Soviet trade unions.
Morris wrote pamphlets and articles, often for New Century Publishers. His most famous article was the 1953 "Tale of Two Waterfronts."
In January 1948, the Marxist monthly Spark quoted Morris from a January 4, 1948, article in the Daily Worker:
During 1947–1948, Morris spoke frequently in public, according to an FBI informant in 1949. On March 23, 1947, he spoke to the Mosholu-Kingsbridge section of the communist party. In June 1947, he spoke on "Your Stake in Labor's Battle With the Trusts" at the Progressive Forum, 13 Astor Place, New York City. On September 5, 1947, Morris spoke to Lodge 102 of the International Workers Order (IWO) on the Taft–Hartley Act. On September 6, 1947, the Daily Worker announced that Morris would cover the CIO's New York State convention at Saratoga Springs and then visit Schenectady, Buffalo, Detroit, Flint, Toledo, Cleveland, Youngstown, Pittsburgh, and Boston to see the conditions of industrial workers. On June 28, 1948, Morris spoke to a Brooklyn communist party convention. On September 19, 1948, Morris spoke on "Who's Splitting the Labor Movement" to the Jefferson School of Social Sciences in New York City. On December 9, 1948, Morris spoke to a Brooklyn press conference.
In 1944, Morris joined the Communist Party paper the Daily Worker as its labor editor and writer of the column "World of Labor," often about the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). In 1947 (and possibly longer), he also wrote a column called "View on Labor News." During 1946–1948, Morris also contributed articles to Political Affairs (formerly The Communist theoretical journal).
Morris edited the Western Worker to 1932 to 1934 and successor titles. In 1934, he became labor editor for the Daily Worker and the Worker and covered the rise of the United Auto Workers of America (UAW) closely from 1935 to 1937.
According to that source via Jack Rubinstein, a vice president of the Textile Workers Union CIO, Morris (as Yusem) also went to Moscow in 1928 to attend the International Lenin School. On February 24, 1928, Morris Yusem, garment worker, received a US passport to travel in Western Europe; on May 11, 1929, he received another passport to travel to Russia.
According to a confidential FBI source, Morris was a member of the Young Communist League under the Shane "Morris Yusem" from 1927 to 1930.
George Morris (1903–1997) was an American writer and labor editor for the CPUSA Daily Worker newspaper who left a body of written work and oral history that documents militant trade unionism as part of American labor history during the first half of the 20th century – including the 1934 West Coast waterfront strike.
George Morris was born "Morris Yusem" on April 6, 1903, to a Jewish family in Raehni (Reni?), Russian Empire (now part of Ukraine). Around 1919, he came to New York City and became a founding member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA).
