Records, 1923-1966 (bulk 1948-1966).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/58786910

The collection is organized in one series of subject files, arranged alphabetically by title. The files contain correspondence, memoranda, Senate and House bills, reports, news clippings, and examples of union literature. Clearly this small collection does not represent a full record of the firm's work; there are gaps in documentation, and some items appear to be missing. The collection reflects management responses to the growth in influence and membership of America's organized labor force from the 1940s to the mid-1960s. Many case-files are concerned with alleged Communist influence and infiltration in unions and labor-management conflicts. Labor unions and corporations documented include the National Farmers Union (NFU), the Packinghouse Workers Union and its president, Ralph Holstein, the United Electrical Workers, the American Federation of Musicians, and Schenley Distillers (includes correspondence with Phil Shays, Director of Personnel and Labor). About one half of the collection consists of files on various utilities, focusing on the issue of government versus private ownership of electrical power.
