http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/318454982

This collection includes documents regarding the CIO collected by the UE. The bulk of the material prior to 1949 is correspondence between the CIO and UE National Officers such as President Albert Fitzgerald, Director of Organization James Matles, and Secretary-Treasurer Julius Emspak. Beginning in 1949, files document the separation of the UE and CIO and their subsequent battle for members. Of particular interest are letters between UE officers and CIO President Philip Murray regarding the "raiding" of UE locals by other CIO unions in the wake of the Taft-Hartley Act. UE research files include CIO foreign policy documents and records of the CIO-AFL merger.
