- Admin History/Bio
- From 1919 to 1920, New York State's Joint Legislative Committee to Investigate Seditious Activities (commonly referred to as the Lusk Committee) sought to expose those organizations and individuals who allegedly posed a threat to American democracy and capitalism. Throughout New York State, socialist, labor, and ethnic organizations were investigated or called before the committee to account for their activities.
- In 1920, Louis Waldman, August Claessens, Samuel A. DeWitt, Samuel Orr and Charles Solomon were expelled from the New York State Assembly on the grounds that membership in the Socialist Party constituted disloyalty to the United States. The public outcry over the expulsions eventually led to denunciation of the committee's work and methods.
- Scope and Content
- This file contains a booklet oulining the evidence taken before the Judiciary Committee in the matter of the investigation by the Assembly of the State of New York as to the qualifications of Louis Waldman, August Claessens, Samuel A. DeWitt, Samuel Orr and Charles Solomon to seats in the assembly. The four men were members of the Socialist Party. The booklet was mailed to "Miss Betty Goldstick.".
