Records, 1922-1965.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145782769

Records of a progressive national union representing workers in the hosiery and textile industry, including meeting minutes, correspondence, financial records, arbitration briefs and decisions, annual reports, contracts, pension files, insurance files, convention proceedings, grievances, press releases, circulars, and newspaper clippings. The materials document the union from its early years to its merger in 1965 with the Textile Workers Union of America, as well as its affiliation first with the American Federation of Labor and later with the Congress of Industrial Organizations. The records document the organization and administration of the union, contracts and negotiations, job descriptions, wage rates, pensions, health insurance, political action, community affairs, and foreign trade. With a large proportion of women members, the issues of women's rights, education, and housing were of particular interest to the union. The Carl Mackley Houses, the first major low-income government housing project in the United States, administered by the Juniata Park Housing Corp., and the Carl Mackley Nursery School in Philadelphia, are both well documented. Correspondents include prominent union officials and labor leaders Emil Rieve, Paul Abelson, Andrew Janaskie, Adolph Benet, John McCoy, Jackson Curry, and Cyrus S. Ching. The collection also includes materials on the American Arbitration Association, G. Allan Dash and other arbitrators, the National Association of Hosiery Manufacturers, the AFL-CIO, and local AFHW branches.
