Papers, 1948.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122573328

Habicht's papers include newspaper clippings, some correspondence, and a long memorandum and a humorous poem by Habicht covering the 1947-48 strike at the Belle Plant. The records describe negotiations with the U.M.W., and the jurisdictional dispute between the U.M.W. and the C.I.O. which made reaching a settlement difficult. The collection also describes Habicht's relationship with Leon Yablonski (president of District 50) who headed the United Mine Workers' negotiating team.
