Illinois Central Gulf Railroad Company Selected Personnel Files, 1886-1973
Collection Number: 5295

This series includes documents historically significant to the ICRR. There are records documenting a change in ICRR accounting practices and a booklet describing the development of the employee wage structure on railroads. An ICRR booklet from 1915 lists all employees of the ICRR at that time as well as including a complete roster of the company's engines and rolling stock and a map of the system. There are two pages of a Time Book from 1886 and a ticket from a train trip in 1891. There are also tickets from the last run of the Hawkeye train. Finally, this series contains the centenary address by ICRR president W.A. Johnston in a specially printed booklet that contains reproductions of photographs of the ICRR.

Includes entire roster of engines and rolling stock and map of system

This series is arranged alphabetically by subject (see folder list for all topics included). The records in this series consist of correspondence; transcripts of proceeding before arbitration and mediation boards; minutes of meetings; death records; documentation of disciplinary matters; employee claims forms; financial records, including extensive documentation of rates of pay, wage schedules, timekeeping, and vacation pay; newspaper and magazine clippings; government publications such as the Railway Labor Act and its subsequent amendments and other federal legislation impacting the ICRR; reproduced journal articles; pamphlets; decisions and circulars from the National Mediation Board; ICRR employee bulletins; results of union committee elections; railroad passes for employees; Red Scare Era propaganda publications; draft deferment forms; criminal trial proceedings; and records documenting the operations of the ICRR and its relations with the railroad labor organizations.

In this series, there are records documenting ICRR's apprenticeship programs, including financial records, courses of study, correspondence with other carriers regarding their apprenticeship programs, and rosters of the names of the apprentices. There is also a sample apprenticeship certificate from 1955.

This series includes extensive claims filings by ICRR employees. The claims, dating from 1935-1960, are arranged chronologically. They include the initial claim, correspondence, awards, decisions, transcripts, memoranda, and minutes of meetings regarding claims and grievances filed against the ICRR by its employees. The most prevalent issues include: seniority; safety; job description; facilities for training; lunch break; leaves of absence; overtime pay; assignments asking employees to work seven day in a row; work assignments; travelling expenses; starting time; pensions; physical examinations; theft of company property; wage discrepancies; and vacation time.

The records of employee deaths, injuries, and illnesses from 1941-1946 are found in this series. In addition to the reports on the actual events, this file also includes correspondence regarding the nature of the incident as well as correspondence expressing well wishes from the ICRR to the injured employees and condolences to the surviving families of those employees who died. Disciplinary records, including investigations of alleged infractions, employee violations of the rules, and correspondence regarding the ways in which the infractions were documented in the employees' files are found in this series. Also of note is the extensive correspondence between the ICRR and other carriers regarding various disciplinary systems and the adoption of the Brown System, which uses a discipline by record approach.

Of particular note are the discrimination files. They document the discrimination faced by the African-American employees of the ICRR. The discrimination files record the various efforts made by African-American employees to preserve their job security and seniority rights, particularly in the aftermath of the closed shop amendment to the Railway Labor Act. While the closed shop amendment was in theory designed to protect workers' rights, it had a staggeringly negative effect on African-American railroad men. The major railroad unions and brotherhoods only allowed white members, and once the closed shop amendment came into force, African-American employees were left unrepresented in all labor negotiations. In practice, this created a situation where the unions would use a form of "sharp practice," in which they would manipulate seniority rosters and local rules to keep African-Americans off the crew rosters so that initially they would lose jobs to white employees, and after six months they would lose their seniority and their jobs. The ICRR management was aware of the practice, and in internal communications recognized it as targeted discrimination, but declined to put a halt to it because the "sharp practice" was technically a legal application of the seniority rules. (See also Series 4 for lawsuits regarding seniority rules.) In response to these pressures, African-American railroad men attempted to organize themselves so that their interests would be protected. The correspondence between these early organizers and ICRR management are found in these files. Of note is the file dedicated to Thomas D. Redd, one of the co-founders of the Association of Colored Railway Trainmen and Locomotive Firemen (ACRT). The ACRT was founded in 1918, although the ICRR never recognized it and would only meet with Redd and the other representatives "as individuals." In 1934, the ACRT with other local chapters of African-American railroad men formed the International Association of Railway Employees (IARE). The ACRT/IARE and other local unions representing African-American employees also filed petitions before the Railroad Adjustment Board and when the Board refused, filed a Writ of Mandamus in an attempt to compel the Board to hear their grievances. The IARE joined the UTU in 1970. During its years of operation, the IARE fought to protect its members' seniority rights, protest discriminatory contracts, and protest the racialized violence that its members suffered at the hands of their white co-workers and the general public.

Extensive documentation of the racialized violence African-American ICRR employees were subjected to are also found in these files. There were three periods of especially heightened racial violence in 1916, 1921-1922, and 1932-1933 when African-American trainmen were targeted by white gunman while doing their jobs. The discrimination files contain both an internal report from the ICRR detailing these atrocities. For the attacks in 1921-1922 and 1932-1933, the ICRR documented the names of all the men who were attacked, although they did not do so for the men who were attacked in 1916. The attackers in 1921-1922 are identified as members of the Klu Klux Klan, although no arrests were ever made. The attacks in 1933-1934 were carried out by four white ICRR employees and one other man not affiliated with the ICRR. These men were tried for their crimes. Three were convicted, and served minimal jail time. Two others, who were the first two arrested, and who identified their co-conspirators in sworn testimony, were both found not guilty by a jury. These two men then sued the ICRR for back pay, wrongful termination, and slander. The case file regarding these suits contains their confessions and portions of their criminal trials. The discrimination files also contain the reports of an ICRR Special Agent who summarized the events and the trial for ICRR management. Also found in these files are an internal report by the ICRR gathering data on these events and the report and notes the ICRR created for a federal investigation into workplace discrimination in 1934.

The discrimination files are arranged alphabetically, however, due to outdated and offensive language, the folder titles have been updated to more suitable language (see processing note for further details).

Files on jurisdictional disputes between non-operating shop crafts on specific task and the determinations by labor boards are found in this series. For additional information on the rules and interpretations that governed the work of non-operating shop craft employees, see series 3.

Matters regarding wages, rates of pay, schedules, vacations and retirement funds determined by the Railroad Retirement Board are all located in this series. The files are organized by employee class and geographic division on the ICRR.

Newspaper clippings documenting various strikes and threatened strikes in the 1960s during the crew consist disagreements between the carriers and unions are found in this file. For more information on this dispute, see Series 4 and the files containing the records regarding the lawsuits and arbitrations that arose from this issue. There are also clippings documenting strikes from other time periods, including the Freight Handlers' strike in 1902, the Clerks' strike of 1912, and the Longshoremen's strike in 1923. In addition to the clippings, there are many records documenting the ICRR management's attempts at union busting through the hiring of day laborers during the strikes of the Freight Handlers and the Clerks.

The ICRR extensively documented the activities of its employees during World War 2. In additional to documenting their manpower concerns and their attempts to obtain draft deferrals for their skilled employees, the ICRR management also documented the service histories of all their employees who joined the armed forces. At the instigation of management, supervisors conducted brief interviews with all returning veterans, compiling brief accounts of each individuals experience in the war. These files contain a rich history of the service of thousands of railroad employees on the ICRR. The World War 2 files also contain information about how the company worked to find employment for returning veterans, to allow for leaves of absence so that veterans could take advantage of the G.I. Bill's various provisions, and what use the skills gained during service might be put to use in employment with the ICRR.

Finally, in the post war period, the ICRR hosted numerous visitors in its various departments. The majority of these visitors were foreign nationals who were studying American railroad practices in order to apply them in their own countries. Representatives from places as diverse as Ghana, Japan, Italy, South Africa, Great Britain, France Australia, and India all spent time with various departments on the ICRR. Their visits are documented both through U.S. State Department records, but also through correspondence between ICRR management and the foreign representatives.

This series consists of a general index and thirteen volumes of Rulings and Interpretations on Shop Craft Rules, as were agreed on in 1935. In these volumes, the work rules and agreements between the ICRR and all non-operating shop-craft employees and their unions are filed along with correspondence, interpretations, rule applications, any minutes of meetings held regarding that rule, any subsequent interpretations, as well as charts and graphs containing quantitative data regarding the work rules. The unions involved in these agreements include: International Association of Machinists; International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths; International Brotherhood of Boilermakers; International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers; International Association of Railway Carmen; International Brotherhood of Sheetmetal Workers; and Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks. Many of the documents used in these volumes are duplicates of records found in the Subject Files, though these are marked "Reader Copy."

This series contain the files documenting some of the legal disputes between the ICRR and the railroad unions. The files contain correspondence, transcripts, legal filings, biographies of various emergency board members, the results of studies conducted in attempts to support various claims by the carrier, awards, and documentation on the results the awards by various boards had on the ICRR.

Of note are the files documenting the hearings before the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1971 in which the ICC claimed jurisdiction over enforcing Equal Employment Opportunity in surface transportation, including the carriers.

The C. T. Earle vs. ICRR Co. files contain the records regarding a suit brought by a switchman, with the support of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, against the ICRR alleging that his seniority rights had been violated. This case became a test case for the ICRR, and twenty-three other similar suits are also documented in this file. One of the cases is also documented in the discrimination files in Series 2.

The remainder of cases are concerned with the issues of crew consist, i.e. how many men it takes to operate a railroad. The dispute between the unions, who did not want any positions to be eliminated, and the carriers, who argued that the crew consists were outdated and not reflective of modern railroad practices, eventually culminated in the need for Emergency Board 172's intervention. A brief summary of the labor disputes leading up to the creation of this board may be found in the Affidavit of James E. Wolfe. As part of preparing for the hearing in front of this board, the ICRR employed a University of Chicago professor , Dr. Benjamin King, to design a Crew Consist Time and Motion Study. The study was functionally executed by John Roberts and other ICRR employees. The results of this study, as well as charts, IBM printouts, and graphs containing all of the raw data gathered..
