Abstract:

Tape-recorded interviews conducted by Historical Society staff members under a grant aimed at documenting industrial unionism in Wisconsin.

Most interviewees were active in the Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha areas. Interviewees include Walter J. Burke, Robert Buse, Harold Christoffel, Sigmund Eisenscher, Fred A. Erchul, George W. Hall, Charles Heymanns, Wilbur J. Le Clair, Harold J. Newton, Max Raskin, Paul Russo, John W. Schmitt, David Sigman, Gregory W. Wallig, and Paul Whiteside. Abstracts to the interviews also have been prepared.
