I. Sidney Hillman correspondence, 1911-1929.
|
||
Scope and Contents
Correspondence primarily documenting Sidney Hillman's activities as the ACWA's first
president during its formative years. Early correspondence with such figures as Joseph
Schlossberg and Jacob Potofsky describes the 1914 split with the United Garment Workers,
which led to the formation of the ACWA. Letters from Potofsky, E.J. Brais and Frank
Rosenblum also discuss the process of industrial unionization, the amalgamation of
the craft unions that had previously represented organized workers in the garment
industry.
There is a great deal of correspondence with local and regional organizers, reflecting
the ACWA's aggressive organizing campaign, undertaken after the formation of the new
union in 1914. Organizing efforts in Chicago, New York, Montreal, Philadelphia, and
Baltimore, among other cities, are well-documented. Of particular interest is the
Baltimore campaign, in which the union battled not only garment manufacturers, but
also the Industrial Workers of the World and the United Garment Workers. Letters from
August Bellanca, Dorothy Jacobs Bellanca, and Hyman Blumberg document the Baltimore
campaign.
Another subject well-represented in this collection is arbitration. Correspondence
between Hillman and John E. Williams, the arbitrator at Hart, Schaffner and Marx,
highlights the mechanics of the arbitration process that the ACWA introduced into
its contracts. The arbitration experience served the union well in its dealings with
the Wilson administration's War Labor Board which was charged with keeping labor peace
during World War I. Correspondence between Hillman, the Labor Board, and the War Dept.
describes the processes that brought labor peace to the garment industry during the
war, and that concomitantly increased recognition for the ACWA.
Additional topics covered include union organizing in the U.S. and Canada; anti-Semitism
in the men's garment industry; ethnic relations within the ACWA in the U.S. and Canada;
the ACWA's role in the production of uniforms for the military during World War I;
strikes and other labor disputes in the men's garment industry; wartime labor policy
in the U.S.; women in the union; and working conditions.
Notable individuals represented in the collection include: Clarence Darrow; Felix
Frankfurter; J.B.S. Hardman; Bessie Hillman; Louis Hollander; Horace M. Kallen; Fiorello
LaGuardia; A. J. Muste; and Joseph Schaffner. Major organizations represented include:
local unions and joint boards of the ACWA; the American Clothing Manufacturers Association
of New York; Hart, Schaffner, and Marx; Hickey Freeman and Company; the Journeymen
Tailors Union; Kuppenheimer and Company; the National Consumers League; the Plumb
Plan League, and the U.S. Commission on Industrial Relations.

|
||
Scope and Contents
Much of the correspondence deals with the ACWA's organizing efforts throughout the
United States and Canada and Potofsky's role in coordinating these organizing drives.
There is also a good deal of information about the ACWA's sensitivity to ethnic issues
within the union. Much attention is devoted to conflicts between and among Jewish,
Italian, Polish and other workers. There is also documentation of the political conflicts
which often threatened union solidarity.
Individuals represented in the collection include: August Bellanca; Dorothy Jacobs
Bellanca; Clarence Darrow; Bessie Hillman; Sidney Hillman; Fiorello LaGuardia; Frank
Rosenblum; Joseph Schlossberg; and B.C. Vladek.
Major organizations represented include local unions and joint boards of the ACWA;
Hart, Schaffner, and Marx; the periodicals Jewish Daily Forward and the Nation; the
Women's Bureau of the U.S. Dept. of Labor; and the Women's Trade Union League. Topics
covered include union organizing in the U.S. and Canada, ethnic relations within the
ACWA, and politics and the union in the U.S.

VI. Records of joint boards and local unions, 1914-1970.
|
||
Scope and Contents
These records document the early years of the union, especially its organizing campaigns
in the major clothing manufacturing centers in the U.S. and Canada. Among the most
significant struggles outlined here are the bitter fight to organize the Nash Clothing
Company in Cincinnati in the 1920s, organizing efforts in New York City, and the effort
in the 1930s and 40s to organize shirt and pants workers in Virginia, Georgia, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee, and Connecticut. There is also documentation of working conditions in the
men's clothing industry, particularly in Chicago.
Other topics covered include the investigation of corrupt practices in the New York
Joint Board, arbitration, alleged Communist activity with the ACWU in New York City,
strikes and other labor disputes, and local and joint board administrative matters.
Significant figures and organizations include Sidney Hillman and Joseph Schlossberg,
and the firms Hart, Schaffner & Marx and Nash Clothing Company.

Scope and Contents
Sidney Hillman and the ACWA played crucial roles in founding the CIO. Hillman's correspondence
with Walter Reuther and George Addes of the United Automobile Workers (UAW) and Emil
Rieve of the Textile Workers' Organizing Committee reflects that effort.
The Roosevelt era brought both increased visibility and power to Hillman and the
union. In 1933, Hillman was chosen to serve on the National Recovery Administration's
Labor Advisory Board. The materials from this NRA period describe the Roosevelt administration's
attempts to draw up codes of fair competition to determine production quotas and fix
wages and hours in order to bring about economic recovery. The NRA records also contain
Hillman's correspondence with government officials as well as leaders of labor unions
and of private firms. There are also some reports and raw data used by the NRA in
developing its codes.
In 1940, as U.S. involvement in World War II became increasingly likely, Roosevelt
organized the National Defense Advisory Commission (NDAC) to coordinate economic mobilization
for the war. Hillman was named to the Commission; later he was tapped to be associate
director of the War Production Board. The NDAC materials in this collection document
Hillman's experiences and include correspondence with William Knudsen. There are also
some reports and directives prepared by the War Production Board.
Other notable topics include: aid to free labor organizations in Europe during World
War II; anti-fascist efforts by U.S.labor organizations; civil rights; the clothing
trade in the U.S. and Canada; economic conditions during the depression, particularly
in the U.S. garment industry; international labor activities; Jewish workers in Palestine;
labor organizing in the U.S. and Canada; relations with other unions; the Spanish
Civil War, including labor aid to and participation in the Republican cause; union
involvement in politics and government in the U.S.; the role of women and minorities
in the labor movement; and worker education.
Notable individuals represented in the collection include: Mary Anderson; John B.
Andrews; August Bellanca; Dorothy Bellanca; George Berry; S.M. Blinken; Louis Brandeis;
Harry Bridges; John Brophy; Max Danish; Clarence Darrow; Gladys Dickason; David Dubinsky;
Lillian Hellman; Charles J. Hendley; Arturo Giovannitti; Henry Green; William Green;
J.B.S. Hardman; Bessie Hillman; Horace Kallen; Paul Kellogg; Philip La Follette; Robert
La Follette; Fiorello LaGuardia; Herbert H. Lehman; John L. Lewis; Sinclair Lewis;
Jay Lovestone; Homer Martin; Lucy Mason; Tom Mooney; Reinhold Niebuhr; Frances Perkins;
Charles Poletti; Lee Pressman; Walter Reuther; Emil Rieve; Eleanor Roosevelt; Franklin
D. Roosevelt; Rose Schneiderman; Upton Sinclair; Harry Truman; B.C. Vladeck; Robert
F. Wagner; Henry Wallace; Walter White; and Matthew Woll.
Additional organizations of significance represented include: local unions and joint
boards of the ACWA; the American Civil Liberties Union; American Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee; American League Against War and Fascism; the AFL; the CIO; the Fur and
Leather Workers' Union; Hart, Schaffner, and Marx; Hickey Freeman and Company; the
Jewish Daily Forward; the Journeymen Tailors Union; Labor's Non-Partisan League; the
NAACP; the NRA; the Socialist Party (U.S.); the Steel Workers' Organizing Committee;
the Textile Workers Organizing Committee; the Textile Workers Union of America; the
UAW; the U.S. Department of Labor and its Women's Bureau; the Urban League; the Women's
Trade Union League; and the Workmen's Circle.
The papers from the early 1930s are extremely fragmentary; consequently, little material
documenting the devastating effect of the early Depression years on the ACWA remains.
The campaign to organize shirt and pants workers during the mid- to late 1930s is
somewhat better documented, and is described by Hillman's correspondence with organizers
in Rochester (N.Y.), Cincinnati, and Philadelphia.
