Simpson Division 210 (Macon, Ga.) records, 1884-1918, 1949.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/38477022

The collection consists of the records of the Simpson Division 210 (Macon, Georgia) of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers from 1884-1918, 1949. The records consist primarily of correspondence, financial documents, minutes, and committee reports. In addition to day-to-day union affairs, the correspondence (1891-1918) discusses the strike against the Southern Railway System by the Order of Railroad Telegraphers (1900); contract negotiations (1905); the Concerted Movements for the Eight Hour Day (1915-1918); and state and national legislation affecting railway employees. The minutes (1890-1916) illuminate the interest of the rank-and-file in work rules and contract terms, grievance procedures and decisions, committee investigations, and the care of indigent members and survivors of members. The financial documents (1884-1917) include audits and monthly, quarterly, and annual statements from Division 210 and the Grand Brotherhood. Reports (1900-1916) on charges against, and grievances of, Division 210 members comprise the bulk of the remainder of the collection.
