On March 6, 1910 the employees of the International Paper Company mill at Corinth,
N.Y. walked off the job at the end of the afternoon tour in protest against the firing
of one of the men and the strike spread to the mills in Glens Falls, Ft. Edward and
Ticonderoga. While this was the immediate cause of the strike, the most important
issue was undoubtedly the recognition of the union. A long strike in 1908 had resulted
in a contract with the Pulp, Sulphite and Paper Workers Union, although the strike
had originated with the Papermakers. Under this contract a number of grievances had
developed, the most important of them relating to Sunday work, wages and a rumor that
the company planned to return to a 2 tour schedule rather than 3. It appeared that
some one in the plant was reporting union activities to the New York Office and men
were being fired because they joined the union.
This collection consists of transcripts and exhibits in the matter of the investigation
by the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration, on the order of the Commissioner
of Labor, of the dispute between the International Paper Company and its former employees
of the the Pulp, Sulphite and Paperworkers' Union.
