1961réf. 1904New York: New York Committee for the General Strike for Peace 1961-1963. A collection of nine rare leaflets and letters concerning the General Strike for Peace which in the early 1960s sought a ban on the testing of nuclear weapons as well as global disarmament. This material belonged to Jackson Mac Low 1922-2004 poet performance artist and peace activist. Eight of these items were issued by the New York Committee for the General Strike for Peace for which Mac Low was one of the organizers. Julian Beck and Judith Malina of the Living Theatre were also organizers. The collection also includes a letter from the Committee for Nonviolent Action. The General Strike for Peace consisted of three different phases the first of which took place in early 1962 followed by additional calls to strike in November 1962 and then again in May 1963. On January 29 1962 more than 300 people marched down Fifth Avenue in New York calling for a worldwide general strike for peace. The New York Times was there: "The demonstrators' appearance ranged from button-down to beatnik with the latter somewhat more conspicuous in the heart of the fashionable shopping district. Pete Seeger and Gil Turner folk singers strummed songs against war and against civil defense." The New York Times January 30 1962 page 3. This collection includes material from each of the three phases of the General Strike for Peace. All appear to be photomechanically reproduced including the letters: --Three leaflets calling for a general strike from January 29 to February 4 1962. Two of these leaflets are identical titled general strike while a third titled general strike for peace appears to be an updated version with a fuller list of members on the Action Committee as well as the addition of International Sponsors. Each is a single sheet folded to create 4 pages measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches when folded. --A Dear friend letter from the Committee for Nonviolent Action expressing sympathy for the General Strike but saying that the Committee could not undertake organizationally to work on this project. Single sheet measuring 11 x 8 1/2 inches. --A leaflet This is the SECOND CALL for a WORLD WIDE GENERAL STRIKE FOR PEACE set for November 5 to November 11 1962. Single sheet folded to create 4 pages measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches when folded. --A Dear Friend letter from the New York Committee explaining the second call. The letter is signed by Donn Reed who was an antiwar activist. Stapled to the letter is a leaflet with the same text as the example listed immediately above although in a different color. Letter: Single sheet measuring 11 x 8 1/2 inches. Leaflet: Single sheet folded to create 4 pages measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches when folded. --A leaflet general strike announcing a worldwide general strike for peace for May 8 1963. Single sheet folded to create 4 pages measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches when folded. --A leaflet crisis strike seeking support for an emergency general strike for peace in times of crisis. Undated. Printed recto only. Single sheet measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches. Provenance: From the collection of poet composer and performance artist Jackson Mac Low one of the organizers of the New York Committee. This material is rare. OCLC shows only one institutional holding at Northwestern for "This is the SECOND CALL." of 1962. The University of Kansas holds a copy of "general strike" of 1963. We assume there are other examples held by institutions probably in ephemera collections that have not been fully catalogued. A rare collection of General Strike material formerly owned by one of the organizers of the New York Committee the poet and performance artist Jackson Mac Low. CONDITION: Some modest creasing and soiling. Overall Very Good or better copies. New York Committee for the General Strike for Peace
1938réf. 234231938. Labor Organizing United Auto Workers and CIO labor photograph archive documenting strike action union leadership and collective bargaining negotiations during the expansion of organized labor in the American automobile industry 1938-1949. The archive traces the period immediately following the 1935 Wagner Act when unions gained federal legal protection for collective bargaining but still faced violent resistance from corporations police departments and municipal governments. Several scenes connect directly to the years surrounding the 1937 Battle of the Overpass in Dearborn when Ford security men beat UAW organizers attempting to distribute union literature outside the River Rouge complex and to the broader wave of sit-down strikes and factory shutdowns that forced General Motors Chrysler and eventually Ford into formal negotiations with the UAW. The captions identify senior labor figures including Walter Reuther R. J. Thomas George Addes and Richard T. Leonard establishing the archive as documentation not merely of rank-and-file unrest but of the institutional consolidation of the UAW-CIO into one of the most powerful industrial unions in the United States. The material also records how labor disputes extended beyond factory gates into courts city halls state legislatures and police jurisdictions revealing the political dimensions of industrial unionism during the New Deal and early Cold War years. Photo archive of 12 Large silver gelatin press photographs one large panorama measuring 9.5 x 16.5 inches 11 press photos ranging from 6 x 8 inches to 8 x 10 inches primarily Detroit Dearborn South Gate and Atlantic City circa 1938-1949. A large-format scene dated 1939 records tear gas and street violence during a UAW strike at the Fisher Body plant with clouds of gas spreading across trolley tracks as helmeted police advance toward crowds of fleeing workers and spectators. Another image shows hundreds of demonstrators carrying a massive American flag through downtown Detroit toward City Hall during protests following clashes between union pickets and police at Federal Screw Works; the verso caption notes approximately forty injuries and references accusations of "police brutality" raised before city council. Additional photographs show UAW-CIO officials seated at conference tables negotiating contracts and appearing in municipal hearing rooms beneath desk microphones and courthouse lighting. Captions identify figures including Walter Reuther George Addes and R. J. Thomas while a 1940 Dearborn caption records the arrest of union leaders for distributing handbills asserting workers' rights under the National Labor Relations Act. South Gate strike scenes outside a General Motors facility show workers carrying placards demanding a thirty percent wage increase while Rev. Louis R. Loe conducts prayer services along the picket line. Convention and leadership photographs from Atlantic City and Washington document labor leaders gathered under the authority of Samuel Gompers and later CIO leadership structures linking local strike activity to national labor organization. The archive illustrates the transformation of the automobile industry from one of the nation's most violently anti-union industrial sectors into the center of postwar collective bargaining power. Ford Motor Company resisted union recognition longer than General Motors or Chrysler relying on private security forces local police cooperation labor espionage and anti-handbill ordinances to suppress organizing inside and outside its plants. Several captions directly reference these legal confrontations including arrests tied to leaflet distribution and disputes over municipal authority to restrict labor organizing in public space. By the late 1940s many of the same figures shown here were negotiating contracts that established wage standards pensions grievance procedures and health benefits that reshaped industrial employment across the United States. Creasing edge wear scattered minor losses adhesive residue and newsroom markings to versos; images remain clear and intact overall. Overall good condition. unknown
1945réf. 233441945. Women's LaborUnion Organizing Women telephone workers on strike press photo archive documenting labor organization picket lines arrests and union settlement efforts in New York Brooklyn Chicago Seattle St. Louis and Cleveland 1945-1950. The images illustrate the postwar labor conflict in the American telephone industry as women workers fought for better wages pensions union recognition and working conditions. The group records labor action through formal union voting publicity picketing mass walkouts police intervention and settlement. The archive highlights women at the center of the labor organizing process showing the workforce that staffed operator positions and other telephone company roles acting collectively during the major strike wave that followed World War II. Photo archive of 9 silver gelatin press photographs ranging from 6 x 7 to 8 x 10 inches New York Brooklyn Chicago Seattle St. Louis Cleveland and related U.S. locations 194New York5-1950. The photographs show women carrying and preparing strike placards leaving telephone company headquarters in a St. Louis walkout gathering on broad city steps with signs lining sidewalks outside company buildings sitting with placards reading "N.F.T.W. ON STRIKE" and smiling from inside a police wagon after arrest on an Ohio Federation of Telephone Workers picket line. Several images preserve highly specific labor text: placards call for "$12 per week" a "Union Shop" and a "Decent Pension" while another denounces the "union busting tactics of the Bell System." One image shows a woman tearing up a strike placard beside a noticeboard stating that the FLLTW and the company had reached an agreement and that the proposed strike had been called off. Versos retain typed caption strips credit and usage stamps editorial markings and filing notes identifying scenes such as a New York vote on whether traffic employees of the New York Telephone Company would strike on April 16 1945; Brooklyn strike cancellation at American Telephone and Telegraph on March 7 1946; Chicago women preparing picket signs on April 5 1947; Seattle workers and pickets outside a telephone building on April 7 1947; coffee served to women strike pickets at St. Alphonsus Hall that same evening; and later Cleveland newsroom handling marked November 10 1950. These photographs date to a time of broad labor upheaval of the mid 1940s and early 1950s when wartime employment rising prices and postwar contract battles pushed workers across the United States into repeated strikes. The telephone industry depended heavily on women as operators traffic workers and clerical employees and this archive shows those women as the visible organizers voters and public faces of labor activism in one of the country's largest communications networks. The images document five years of telephone strikes across several cities and through multiple stages of escalation and resolution. Moderate edge wear scattered creasing surface handling wear editorial markings stamps caption remnants and some toning or staining to versos; overall good condition. A concise multi-city record of women's labor militancy in the postwar telephone industry with strong evidence of how strike action operated inside a national communications system. unknown
