The collection concerns the labor disturbances and strike in 1935 at the Cocheco Woolen Manufacturing Co. in East Rochester (Rochester), N.H. It contains three letters to Weed: one, June 22, 1935, from Guy Smart, an attorney in Rochester, N.H., acknowledging her letter; another, June 17, 1935, from a secretary to Gov. Styles Bridges, acknowledging her letter to the governor; and a third, July 3, 1935, from William N. Rogers, U.S. Congressman, indicating that the labor disturbances at Cocheco are a local question about which he can do nothing. Also contains a scrapbook of newspaper clippings, 1935, about the strike and the United Textile Workers of America, which represented the workers.
