Abstract:
This collection documents the origins and early history of the CIO as well as the
dynamics of working-class militancy in the era of the Great Depression. The collection
also provides a substantial amount of information concerning workers and trade unionism
before the creation of the CIO and also after the UMWA's separation from the CIO in
1942.

From its founding in 1935 until 1942, the history of the Congress of Industrial Organizations
(CIO) was inseparable from that of John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers of America
(UMWA). Lewis created the CIO as an organization, and he used the manpower and treasury
of the UMWA to keep the CIO alive. The early history of the CIO was also greatly influenced
by the relationship between Lewis and Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1935, the CIO devoted
the bulk of its assets and energies to Roosevelt's re-election campaign. Roosevelt's
victory in 1936 set the stage for the CIO's triumph over General Motors and United
States Steel in early 1937. As the Lewis-Roosevelt relationship began to cool in 1937,
the CIO lost ground to the AFL, Lewis resigned as president of the CIO in 1940, and
the UMWA left the CIO two years after that.
The CIO general files (1935-1955) include correspondence, CIO personnel files, committee
files, financial records, and convention files. Subjects covered include organizing
drives in rubber, auto, steel, electronics, timbering and shipbuilding industries;
the rift between the AFL and CIO; the development of the CIO national staff; national
politics; communism in the CIO; competition between the CIO and the UMWA in organizing
industrial unions; impact of Taft-Hartley Act; and AFL-CIO merger negotiations.
The United Mine Workers of America files regarding loans and financial aid to CIO
unions and industrial unions (1922-1955) document a number of loans made by the UMWA
to industrial unions and to the CIO itself. Of special interest are the files on the
CIO and the Teamsters loans.
The CIO Field Office files (1937-1942) contain records both from the CIO field offices
and from Industrial Union Councils. These files document the CIO's jurisdictional
and factional disputes, political activities and organizing drives.
The AFL general files (1929-1955) comprise John L. Lewis's correspondence both with
and about AFL officials. The material documents the rise of industrial unionism in
the 1930s and the formation of the CIO, and it provides information on the UMWA's
reaffiliation and second disaffiliation from the AFL in 1946 and 1947, respectively.
Files for later years provide valuable material on the AFL-CIO merger in 1955.
United Steelworkers of America (1949-1962) is a continuation of the Steelworkers
files in part I. For the most part the series is a newsclipping file; however, there
are records detailing the UMWA strike fund assistance to the steelworkers, and there
is some material relative to the proposed federation of the UMWA, the steelworkers
union, and the Teamsters in the 1950s.
