In July, Darcy encouraged radicals among the longshoremen to join the newly chartered local of the International Longshoremen’s Association and to form a militant, but not exclusively CP, caucus there. The caucus included Harry Bridges, Henry Schmidt, and other militants who were neither CP members nor sympathizers. They met at Equality Hall on Albion Street and called themselves Albion Hall. In September the district secretariat approved a “line” for its “opposition group” within the ILA: “To create distinct TUUL group as soon as possible, which group to issue the ‘Waterfront Worker.’” The Albion Hall caucus was too politically diverse to be considered a “distinct TUUL group,” and it never advocated for the MWIU, but some members of it, including Bridges, took responsibility for the Waterfront Worker, which now stated that it was issued by “a rank and file group in the ILA.” When the Albion Hall group presented a slate in the local elections that month, they called themselves the “Committee of 500 Bona Fide Longshoremen Now Working on the S.F. Waterfront.”50
