Consumers' Research, Inc. Consumerism general files--Consumers Union, 1933-1980.

Title: Consumerism general files--Consumers Union, 1933-1980.

The records document Consumers' Research's interest in and tracking of the formation, growth, associations, and problems of Consumers Union after the 1935 strike which led several Consumers' Research employees and supporters to form Consumers Union. CR was interested in the CU board members, sponsors, and employees whose "relationships" or "connections" made them suspected leftists, communists or fellow travelers. In addition to red baiting, CR attempted to denigrate CU by questioning their technical competence in consumer product testing and their discussion of contraception and health questions. Material on individual CU board members or staff includes some correpondence prior to or during the 1935 strike when individuals were politically allied with CR and later, when CR considered these individuals enemies. Scattered throughout the series are files on individuals who were extremely important to the development and operation of CU such as Arthur Kallet and Colston E. Warne, but there are also files on individuals not closely associated with CU including Heywood Broun, Anna Louise Strong, labor leader Michael Quill, and CR board member and consumer advocate Ralph Nader.
