Records pertaining to the Cleveland City Council investigation of the "Secret Seven", 1931-1938.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/23722437

Testimony before, and transcripts of, meetings of the committee of the Cleveland City Council investigating the "Secret Seven", including correspondence, counsel opinions, and related pamphlets and reports. Opinions of counsel pertain to the legal power of the committee to subpoena William Frew Long and cite him for contempt. Included is the testimony of Long in 1938 before a U.S. Senate committee investigating the Associated Industries of Cleveland. The testimony pertains to the records of the "Secret Seven", which were destroyed in 1935. The collection relates largely to the authority and internal activities of the Special Committee, with little material on the "Secret Seven" and anti-communists in Cleveland.
