and letters of the ALES staff to various unions and philanthropic organizations pertaining

Also materials regarding the Works Progress Administration's Pittsburgh workers'
education project. These include minutes of the Workers Education Advisory Committee;
memoranda, reports and letters on the training institute, communist instructors and
