Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America. Sidney Hillman correspondence, 1911-1929, 1914-1929 (bulk).

Title: Sidney Hillman correspondence, 1911-1929, 1914-1929 (bulk).

Correspondence primarily documenting Sidney Hillman's activities as the ACWA's first president during its formative years. There is a great deal of correspondence with local and regional organizers, reflecting the ACWA's aggressive organizing campaign, undertaken after the formation of the new union in 1914. Organizing efforts in Chicago, New York, Montreal, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, among other cities, are well-documented. Of particular interest is the Baltimore campaign, in which the union battled not only garment manufacturers, but also the Industrial Workers of the World and the United Garment Workers. Letters from August Bellanca, Dorothy Jacobs Bellanca, and Hyman Blumberg document the Baltimore campaign. Another subject well-represented in this collection is arbitration. Correspondence between Hillman and John E. Williams, the arbitrator at Hart, Schaffner and Marx, highlights the mechanics of the arbitration process that the ACWA introduced into its contracts. The arbitration experience served the union well in its dealings with the Wilson administration's War Labor Board which was charged with keeping labor peace during World War I. Correspondence between Hillman, the Labor Board, and the War Dept. describes the processes that brought labor peace to the garment industry during the war, and that concomitantly increased recognition for the ACWA. Additional topics covered include union organizing in the U.S. and Canada; anti-Semitism in the men's garment industry; ethnic relations within the ACWA in the U.S. and Canada; the ACWA's role in the production of uniforms for the military during World War I; strikes and other labor disputes in the men's garment industry; wartime labor policy in the U.S.; women in the union; and working conditions. Notable individuals represented in the collection include: Clarence Darrow; Felix Frankfurter; J.B.S. Hardman; Bessie Hillman; Louis Hollander; Horace M. Kallen; Fiorello LaGuardia; A. J. Muste; and Joseph Schaffner. Major organizations represented include: local unions and joint boards of the ACWA; the American Clothing Manufacturers Association of New York; Hart, Schaffner, and Marx; Hickey Freeman and Company; the Journeymen Tailors Union; Kuppenheimer and Company; the National Consumers League; the Plumb Plan League, and the U.S. Commission on Industrial Relations.

There is also a diary kept by Bessie Hillman during her trip to Israel in 1952-1953, and a large collection of condolences that she received after her husband's death. The correspondence covers a number of political, social, union, and personal matters. There are letters from women organizers in the South; from leaders of locals and regional joint boards; from ACWA officials such as Jacob Potofsky and Joseph Schlossberg; and memoranda from the ACWA General Executive Board, reflecting Bessie Hillman's long service to the union as executive, organizer, and mentor, particularly to women. Correspondents also include union leaders outside of the ACWA, among them David Dubinsky, A. Philip Randolph, Walter Reuther, and Leonard Woodcock. There is Hillman's reminiscence of Rose Schneiderman of the Women's Trade Union League. Letters from a number of leading political, cultural, and social figures, including Mary Anderson, Mary McLeod Bethume, Jacqueline Kennedy, Arthur Goldberg, Irving Ives, Lady Bird Johnson, Averell Harriman, Herbert Lehman, William O'Dwyer, Esther Peterson, Harry Truman, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Robert F. Wagner, Jr. make up another significant portion of the collection. These items reflect Bessie Hillman's long-standing involvement in social causes and political campaigns, particularly in civil rights issues, within the City and State of New York and throughout the United States. Other individuals and organizations represented in the collection include: Cornell ILR School professor Maurice F. Neufeld; Carl Sandberg; Chaim Weizmann; local unions and joint boards of the ACWA; the American Labor Education Service; the Democratic National Committee; the Hudson Shore School; the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions; the National Consumers League; the Women's Bureau of the U.S. Dept. of Labor; and the Women's Trade Union League.

Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America. Sidney Hillman papers, 1930-1946 (bulk 1935-1945)

Title: Sidney Hillman papers

Papers documenting Sidney Hillman's activities as the ACWA's president during the Depression, New Deal, and war years, as well as his work with the NRA, the National Defense Advisory Commission, and the War Production Board. Sidney Hillman and the ACWA played crucial roles in founding the CIO. Hillman's correspondence with Walter Reuther and George Addes of the United Automobile Workers (UAW) and Emil Rieve of the Textile Workers' Organizing Committee reflects that effort. The Roosevelt era brought both increased visibility and power to Hillman and the union. In 1933, Hillman was chosen to serve on the National Recovery Administration's Labor Advisory Board. The materials from this NRA period describe the Roosevelt administration's attempts to draw up codes of fair competition to determine production quotas and fix wages and hours in order to bring about economic recovery. The NRA records also contain Hillman's correspondence with government officials as well as leaders of labor unions and of private firms. There are also some reports and raw data used by the NRA in developing its codes. In 1940, as U.S. involvement in World War II became increasingly likely, Roosevelt organized the National Defense Advisory Commission (NDAC) to coordinate economic mobilization for the war. Hillman was named to the Commission; later he was tapped to be associate director of the War Production Board. The NDAC materials in this collection document Hillman's experiences and include correspondence with William Knudsen. There are also some reports and directives prepared by the War Production Board. Other notable topics include: aid to free labor organizations in Europe during World War II; anti-fascist efforts by U.S.labor organizations; civil rights; the clothing trade in the U.S. and Canada; economic conditions during the depression, particularly in the U.S. garment industry; international labor activities; Jewish workers in Palestine; labor organizing in the U.S. and Canada; relations with other unions; the Spanish Civil War, including labor aid to and participation in the Republican cause; union involvement in politics and government in the U.S.; the role of women and minorities in the labor movement; and worker education. Notable individuals represented in the collection include: Mary Anderson; John B. Andrews; August Bellanca; Dorothy Bellanca; George Berry; S.M. Blinken; Louis Brandeis; Harry Bridges; John Brophy; Max Danish; Clarence Darrow; Gladys Dickason; David Dubinsky; Lillian Hellman; Charles J.

Guide to the Sam Reiss Photographs, circa 1930-1975

Title: Guide to the Sam Reiss Photographs, circa 1930-1975

Samuel Reiss was among the most prominent and prolific photographers of the labor movement in New York City from the late 1940s until his death in 1975. During the three decades that Reiss earned a living with his camera, he documented a changing work force in a changing city, building a reputation as "Labor's photographer." Week by week, throughout his career, Reiss made photographs that document New York's labor movement during its most active, influential, and progressive years. The Sam Reiss Photographs Collection - Part II: Photographic Prints is comprised of approximately 8,400 overwhelmingly black and white 8"x 10" photographic prints from ca. the 1930s to 1975, although the bulk were shot between the 1950s and 1970s. Most of these images document the activities and leadership of many of the major labor unions in New York City and the metropolitan area during this period, including those representing workers in the garment, retail, communications, transportation and entertainment industries, and teachers. Many of these images are portraits and group photographs. A small but rich selection of images shows people engaged in various kinds of work, and the collection also includes small numbers of images of sports and recreation, school children, building construction, apartment housing, voter registration drives, and picnics.

Transport Workers Union of America. Photographic prints, 1913-1986. 1937-1986 (bulk).

Title: Photographic prints, 1913-1986. 1937-1986 (bulk).

This large collection of photoprints documents many aspects of the history of the TWU through Mike Quill's involvement with that history. Besides Quill family portraits and snapshots and one professionally documented trip to Quill's homeland (1963), the collection is strong on photoprints of the early TWU and CIO leadership and conventions. Included are shots of the TWU conventions (1939, 1941, 1945, 1948, 1955, and 1961) and CIO conventions (1937, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1947, 1951, 1952, 1954, and 1957). One highlight is a group portrait of the CIO leadership in 1940 - Joseph Curran, Quill, Philip Murray and John L. Lewis. Quill's effective use of the media is also evidenced by the many shots at press conferences and on TV programs. One image, for example, shows Quill with TWU picketers at a TV station during the 1953 bus strike. There are some shots of Quill speaking, both while organizing and serving as a city councilman. The anti-communist response is documented in a 1948 rally. Other highlights: the Unity Slate Victory party (1950), Martin Luther King, Jr. speaking at the Gandhi Society Luncheon (1963), and Quill's last press conference and his memorial service.
