The International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union's reference files on the ILA consist of 5 linear feet of "everything we could get our hands on about the ILA", according to the union's librarian: handbills, contracts, proceedings, internal documents from negotiations, newspaper clippings from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Journal of Commerce and many other trade and labor papers. Of particular significance are the series of clippings files marked "Crime and Racketeering" and "AFL Relations" which cover the proceedings of the Crime Commission and the subsequent expulsion of the ILA from the AFL.
