P1-P2 - Interview with Fred Coombe (born 1896), Melbourne, 15 May 1984 (File)

Fred Coombe was the son of a labourer, who had had no education at all and could neither read nor write. Fred's first memories are of life in Broken Hill and surrounds from 1900: Aboriginal rural workers not being paid; hiding from the Governor Brothers, Joe and Jimmy; and men returning from the Boer War in 1902 when he was six. As a 14-year-old hand at a shearing shed on the Darling River, he participated in industrial sabotage of shearing equipment, under the influence of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). He became a member before the First World War and describes their ideas, personalities and activities in their heyday during the war, and the treason-felony case against the Sydney Twelve in 1916. Coombe argues this was a frameup and explains why this was a widespread belief in labour movement circles at the time.

Pat Mackie was an American merchant seaman, who joined the Industrial Workers of the World on the North American coast in 1934, and, at the time of interview, was still the accredited Delegate for the IWW in Australia. Mackie achieved notoriety as Chairman of the Mount Isa Section of the Australian Workers' Union during the infamous lockout of 1964-65, which divided both the nation and the labour movement. Despite, or perhaps because of, constant criticism of Mackie in the mainstream media, he retained the support of the workers of Mount Isa, who appreciated his militant and determined leadership of their resistance to the imposition of contract work and the abolition of hourly wage rates.

He was influenced politically by Mark Anthony, a Broken Hill miner from Clunes who frequently returned to visit. Payne became an early member of the Communist Party of Australia. In 1922, he was one of its two delegates to the Comintern Conference in Moscow. He relates how he travelled to there as a stowaway, aided by sympathetic maritime workers, and heard Lenin speak and met Trotsky, who had confused Payne's fellow delegate W.P. Earsman with the much more important American delegate Max Eastmann. Payne joined the breakaway Socialist Party of Australia in 1970-71 and remained a loyal defender of the Soviet Union until his death late last century, still revered in CPA and SPA circles as 'the man who met Lenin', when in fact he had only met the hated Trotsky.
