Macarthur, Walter, 1862-1944. Walter Macarthur papers, 1883-1944 (bulk 1913-1944).

Title: Walter Macarthur papers, 1883-1944 (bulk 1913-1944).

The Walter Macarthur Papers contain materials of interest to researchers of the history of seaman's rights, maritime law, and labor movements. The bulk of the collection begins with Macarthur's service as U.S. Shipping Commissioner from 1913 to 1932, including substantial materials pertaining to the implementation and interpretation of the Seamen's Act of 1915. This part of the collection includes correspondence, reports, court decisions, and clippings illustrating a turbulent period of maritime history: major issues include the protection of seamen, the opening of the Panama Canal, immigration from Asia, competition with Japan for Pacific trade, and the transition from sailing ships to steamers. The collection also contains printed matter and internal documents from the Sailors' Union of the Pacific and its umbrella organization, the International Union of American Seamen, led by Andrew Furuseth. Macarthur's writings on maritime and labor issues are represented in manuscript and print, primarily of articles written in the 1930s, as well as in correspondence with readers and publishers. Macarthur's own corrected copies of Handbook, Navigation Laws of the United States and The Seamen's Contract, 1790-1918 are also present, as are bound manuscripts of "San Francisco: A Climax in Civics" and the anthology "Papers on Seamen's Law." Macarthur's support of H.R. 2902, a bill to extend the benefits of the U.S. Public Health Service to seamen, appears in extensive correspondence with labor organizations and reports on the topic. The collection brings together extensive clippings from American and foreign newspapers on a variety of topics relating to maritime issues, labor, and World War II, as well as clippings that are personal or biographical in nature. Overall, personal material in the collection is limited to correspondence and a small number of official and manuscript documents.

Janiewski, Dolores E., 1948-,. The American Federation of Labor and the unions : national and international union records from the Samuel Gompers era, 1890-1927. [microform]

Title: The American Federation of Labor and the unions : national and international union records from the Samuel Gompers era, 1890-1927. [microform]

Consists of selected files of fifteen national and international unions affiliated with the AFL during the presidency of Samuel Gompers (1886-1894, 1895-1924.) Selection was limited to records documenting the affiliates' relations with the Federation. For the most part, files consist of correspondence between Gompers and the unions, although documents referring to Gompers and his leadership of the AFL are also included. Correspondence reveals the efforts the AFL made to encourage cooperation among its affiliates and convince them of their common interests. Major subjects dealt with include jurisdictional battles between unions and ethnic tensions, ideological disputes and personal differences both within and between organizations, and the efforts of the AFL leadership to forge a united labor movement out of widely diverse and discordant elements. AFL circulars discuss such issues as unfavorable judicial decisions, trials of activists, significant legislation, labor's part in World War I, and conflicts with dissident labor and political groups, such as the Industrial Workers of the World, the United Hebrew Trades, socialists and communists. The documents include biographical material illuminating the careers of some of the major labor leaders of the day. The collection includes the selected files of the following unions: Boot and Shoe Workers Union, 1895-1910 (principal correspondent: John F. Tobin); United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, 1892-1927 (principal correspondents: Frank Duffy, William D. Huber and William L. Hutcheson); Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, 1914-1920 (principal correspondents: Sidney Hillman, Joseph Schlossberg and Ellen Gates Starr); International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, 1914-1924 (principal correspondents: Fannia M.
