Prominent in organizing the jobless and
homeless were the Unemployed Councils that sprang up in
the early 1930s. Their demands echoed the rhetoric and
followed the counsel of the burgeoning Communist Party
which controlled the National Federation of Unemployed
Councils. Belief in the efficacy of New Deal measures
weakened support for these organizations, which were
finally shelved by the Party in the Popular Front era of
accommodation.
