Loomis, a Progressive lawyer and politician from Mauston, Wis., who was a member of both houses of the Wisconsin state legislature, state attorney general, and governor-elect in 1942. The collection includes correspondence, legal papers, copies of proposed legislation, memoranda, personal accounts, campaign materials, schedules, speeches, and press releases. The correspondence between 1929 and 1933, when Loomis served in the state legislature, reflects his concern with the problems of farmers, veterans, education, and public electric power. Most of the correspondence from 1936 to 1942 relates to electioneering, but a few letters exchanged with Robert M. La Follette, Jr. and Philip La Follette from 1931 to 1935 and in 1942 contain references to Progressive party programs and problems. Correspondence for 1937 and 1938, when he served as attorney general, include several legal opinions. Other correspondents include Herman Ekern, John J. Esch, William Evjue, Halbert Hoard, Merlin Hull, Charles A. Kading, Irvine Lenroot, Gaylord Nelson, George W. Norris, and Gifford Pinchot. A large part of the collection relates to Loomis' attempts to bring publicly owned electric power to Wisconsin, and includes briefs, exhibits, correspondence, and legal papers relating to the municipalities Loomis represented in public-power cases between 1933 and 1942. Loomis' clients included Bangor, Edgerton, Viroqua, Hustisford, Fennimore, Waterloo, Kendall, McFarland, Poynette, and Pardeeville. The extensive materials for Pardeeville follow the case from the village decision by referendum to purchase their power plant through twelve years of litigation. The collection also includes a folder of briefs and other materials on the Wisconsin Development Authority, established in 1937 to aid municipal ownership and the orderly development of Wisconsin resources. Loomis' papers contain some of the records of his campaigns for governor in 1940 and 1942, and a group of letters and proposals for his administration made after the 1942 election. Loomis died, however, before he could take office. The processed portion of this collection is summarized above and described in the register. Additional accessions are described below.

The papers consist of the records of Charles Henry and Jessie Evans Crownhart and their sons, Jesse George and Charles H. Crownhart Jr. Personal correspondence among the family members comprises most of the collection. Included are the correspondence and political and legal files of Charles H. Crownhart, a lawyer, regent of the Superior Normal School, Reviser of Statutes for the State of Wisconsin, first director of the Wisconsin Industrial Commission, and justice on the state Supreme Court. He was also a close personal friend and advisor to Robert M. La Follette and managed La Follette's 1910 and 1916 senatorial campaigns. Information is present on state and national political campaigns, the workers' compensation program, implementation and the constitutional challenge of the Wisconsin Soldiers' Bonus Act after World War I, the work of the Industrial Commission, legal cases while in private practice, and other topics. The records of Jessie Evans Crownhart, his wife, document the family life of the Crownharts as well as her career as an educator during the 1880s and 1890s, as Douglas County Superintendent of Schools (1897-1901), and as a regent of the normal schools in Wisconsin during the Depression. Her papers include letters describing family life and the financial crisis facing the normal schools during the 1930s, as well as files containing certification tests for teachers in the late nineteenth century. Also included is correspondence of Jesse G. Evans, Jessie Crownhart's father, which deals in part with his service in the Wisconsin 7th Light Artillery Battery during the early part of the Civil War. The records of J. George Crownhart consist of correspondence from his childhood and teenage years plus later records which provide perspective on the workings of the State Medical Society of Wisconsin. Crownhart served as executive secretary of the society and managing editor of its journal from 1923 until his death in 1941. Charles Crownhart Jr.'s records contain information on his personal, legal, and political activities. Also particularly noteworthy are the files on the John J. Blaine United States senatorial re-election campaign in 1932 and the Fred M. Wylie campaign for attorney general of Wisconsin in 1934; Crownhart served as campaign manager for both. The papers provide substantial documentation of the Crownhart relationship with the Progressive wing of the Wisconsin Republican Party during the early years of the twentieth century.

Hemingway writes that "All stories are made up; but you have to invent from knowledge....American criticism is sort of funny. Anything they have not been taught; they think is not true. If you fight they hate you because they don't fight." Hemingway then relates an incident in the Battle of the Bulge involving Col. Jim Luckett of the 12th infantry and a member of General George Patton's staff, and adds "This book was an attempt to distill." Hemingway concludes with a description of his next project "Have the sea part done and now am going to do the air (RAF) and the land." University of Virginia. LibraryWitte, Edwin E.

The correspondence reflects Ekern's personal, political, and business interests. Early correspondence concerns family affairs and the beginning of his law practice at Whitehall, Wis. (1894-1911). With his election to the Assembly in 1902, politics and legislation become prominent topics. Ekern authored railroad retirement and teachers' retirement acts and was actively interested in other legislation involving taxation, redistricting, the county court system, and establishment of the state life insurance code. Ekern served as state insurance commissioner, 1910-1915, and letters from this period concern insurance as well as his interest in other progressive legislation and in the national progressive campaign in 1912. His 1924 files as finance chairman of the La Follette-Wheeler presidential ticket are present as are the files of Will R. McCord, a professional fund-raiser employed to direct solicitation of funds in other states. In 1926 there are letters concerning Ekern's unsuccessful bid for the Wisconsin governorship. Ekern later was in private law practice in Chicago and Madison, was an unsuccessful Progressive candidate for United States senate in 1938, and served on the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, 1939-1943.

Sidney Hillman papers, 1930-1946, 1935-1945 (bulk).Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America.Hillman, Sidney, 1887-1946.Sidney Hillman papers23 linear ft.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.
