Industrial Union Party

Industrial Union Party

The Industrial Union Party (IUP), a US DeLeonist political organization, proclaimed itself on 7 July 1933 at 1032 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, Branch headquarters of its predecessor Industrial Union League (IUL). The new IUP immediately announced candidates in the New York City elections: Adolph Silver for Mayor, Irving Oring for Comptroller, and Sam Brandon for President of Alderman.

"Industrial Unionist", the official organ, was published first in May 1932, and died for its final time in 1950. Most of the IUP was later to reconstitute itself as the League for Socialist Reconstruction

Noting the roots of IUP in the Socialist Labor Party (SLP), Glaberman and Rawick consider that the "split reflected the impact of the Great Depression and the inability of the SLP to adjust to new events." Yet the immediate roots of the Industrial Union League were in the SLP's mass expulsion of Section Bronx during the 1920s. ("Industrial Unionist" did not appear until 1932, but its first issue included Louis Lazarowitz's review of Walter H. Senior's "The Bankruptcy of Reform", published by the Industrial Union League itself).
