Series II: Circulars, 1945-1958
|
|||
Scope and Contents
This series consists of two sets of circulars. One set, from the Association of Western
Railways [AWR], contains updates on agreements member carriers have entered into with
various labor organizations. They also contain the text of the Agreements. AWR Circulars
also contain information on decisions by various boards of adjustments based on interpretations
of the previously mentioned agreements. Some of the circulars have attached correspondence,
discussing how these interpretations affect either the carrier or their employees.
The second set of circulars come from the CNW itself. These circulars, issued by
the personnel department, inform employees about updates and changes to the Rules,
Agreements, and Schedules made between the carrier and the various labor organizations
that represent the employees in negotiations. The circulars also interpret the changes,
and inform the different classes of employees how the changes affect them.

Series IV: Dispute between the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway and the Federated
Shop Crafts, 1920-1953
|
|||
Scope and Contents
This series contains records documenting a dispute between the M&St.L and its employees
who worked in non-operating crafts. These employees belonged to the International
Association of Machinists; the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship
Builders, and Helpers of America; the International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths, Drop
Forgers and Helpers; the Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers International Alliance; International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers; and the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen of America.
This series includes documentation on who represented the non-operating employees,
including a decision by the U.S. Railroad Labor Board regarding the representation,
and the Constitution and By-Laws of the M&St.L Railroad System Association, Federated
Shop Crafts AFL, which was deemed the representative organization instead of the American
Federation of Railroad Workers. The complete filing of the 1921 case, including a
transcript of the testimony before the U.S. Railroad Labor Board, is found in this
series.
Of particular interest is the documentation of the Great Railroad Strike of 1922,
also called the Shopmen's Strike. This strike, which occurred in July and August 1922,
was a nationwide strike launched by seven of the sixteen railroad labor organizations
in existence of the time and the largest railroad work stoppage since the Pullman
Strike of 1894. This series contains records of the financial losses suffered by the
M&St.L as well as a timeline of strike activities that occurred on their properties.
Reports on conferences and Agreements between the M&St.L and the Federated Shop
Crafts are also located in this series. Also found are changes to the agreement with
regards to the seniority rights of employees who served in the military during the
course of their employment.

Series VI: National Railroad Adjustment Board. Decisions and Awards, 1952-1955
|
|||
Scope and Contents
The National Railroad Adjustment Board [NRAB] was created by 45 U.S. Code 153, part
of the Railway Labor Act. It is overseen by the National Mediation Board, which was
created by the 1934 amendment to Railway Labor Act to oversee the arbitration of labor
disputes in the railway and airline industries. The NRAB is tasked with arbitrating
minor disputes, i.e. grievance arbitrations, in the railway industry. This series
contains the NRAB's decision in cases that either affected labor relations on the
M&St.L system, or cases that directly involved M&St.L personnel. The latter are all
cases of employees' claims for wages, filed by the Switchmen's Union of North America
[SUNA].

Series VIII: Carrier Mergers, 1958-1968
|
|||
Scope and Contents
This series contain documentation of various mergers between carriers that occurred
during the 1950s and 1960s; this period is sometimes referred to Railroad Merger Era.
It began in the late 1950s with the approval of the merger between the Norfolk and
Western with The Virginian Railway. The culmination of the railroad merger era was
the merger of the Pennsylvania Railroad with the New York Central Railroad in 1968,
forming the Penn Central Transportation Company.
This series contains some of the Agreements of the Penn Central merger, as well
as copies of Agreements from other large carrier mergers. These records are present
because they were used as templates for the Agreements used in CNW's merger with Chicago
Great Western Railway in 1968. The various Consolidation Agreements demonstrate how
complicated and unwieldy this process was, and helps demonstrate why the majority
of these mergers resulted in larger carrier companies declaring bankruptcy and led
to the deregulation of the industry and the creation of national corporations ConRail
and Amtrak which operated on what had been the Penn Central's tracks.

Series IX: National Rules Movements, 1940-1960
|
|||
Scope and Contents
This series contains records relating to National Rules Movements. The bulk of the
records come from the Rules Movement of 1958, but other years are represented. The
National Rules Movement were efforts by the railroad labor organizations to change
operating rules for railroad employees. The Rules Movement of 1950 was concerned with
moving to a 40-Hour week from a 48-Hour week with no reduction in pay. The 1958 Rules
Movement was concerned with the operation of rules establishing time limits for the
handling of claims and grievances; hiring practices; safety, health, and sanitation;
and, accidents. Other issues addressed in Rules Movements of 1958 include vacation
and holiday agreements.
The records in this series include Section 6 Notices, in which the Unions notify
the carriers of their desire to change the language of their Agreements; records of
conferences had between the two sides to negotiate changes; and, circulars from carriers'
conference informing other member railroads of changes made to Agreements.
Of interest are records regarding the efforts of the American Railway Supervisors
Association to organize supervisory officials, such as supervisors engaged in mechanics
departments of various railroads. The negotiations and Agreements between carrier
and labor organization were then subject to the changes requested by the Federated
Shop Crafts during the Rules Movement.

Series X: Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway. Local Agreements, Conferences, and Reports,
1926-1960
|
|||
Scope and Contents
This series contains records of the local agreements the M&St.L had with various railroad
labor organizations. Also included are reports of conferences between the local representatives
of the labor organizations and the M&St.L representatives. These agreements are interesting
because of their focus on smaller and more local concerns that are not always represented
in the national agreements. Many of these records are about the M&St.L facility on
Fort Dodge, Iowa. Of particular interest are the blue prints for a proposed office
building, maps of the train yards, and an attempt by the M&St.L to rent space from
the Illinois Central Railroad to defray the costs of maintaining their own facilities.
Also located in this series is a folder containing articles and essays on the issue
of featherbedding. Featherbedding is the practice of hiring more workers than are
needed to perform a given job. The term is often used by management to refer to labor
union contracts which require them to keep a certain number of staff employed, even
in instances in which they are no longer needed, such as with the rise of automated
workflows that render certain positions obsolete. Certain local agreements are also
filed with theses clippings, presumably because the M&St.L felt that these Agreements
were example of the same.
Of particular interest is a file regarding the use of Edifone Equipment to record
formal investigations. It is included in this series because it was a policy adopted
by the M&St.L and agreed upon by the various locals. However, the introduction of
this equipment is indicative of the effects automation began to have on the work,
particularly with regard to the clerks and stenographers employed by the M&St.L.
