14 Faue, even manages a monumental distortion of the argument of my book, Workers on the Waterfront: Seamen, Longshoremen, and Unionism in the 1930s (Urbana, 1988)Google Scholar. According to Faue, I argue therein that the progressive organizing activity of “cadres[…] ran repeatedly into grassroots resistance to change”. In fact, that is the exact opposite of the book's argument. In my discussion of the famed West Coast maritime strike of 1934, for example, I state that “the Communist presence in the strike gave it a more disciplined and organized character and a more effective leadership […] But the scope and dynamism of the conflict far exceeded the ability of the rather insignificant number of Communists to control or direct it. The fact is that the Big Strike was an authentic rank-and-file rebellion that had long been waiting to happen.” Nelson, Workers on the Waterfront, p. 145; see also pp. 161–162, and passim.
