Abstract:

Papers of Charles P. Howard, a president of the International Typographical Union (ITU), 1923-1938, consisting of speeches, articles, and correspondence. The correspondence is primarily of a personal nature, with Howard's union activities mentioned only occasionally. The chief exception to this is correspondence about his failure to win reelection to the ITU presidency in 1938. Labor philosophy is better represented in files of speeches and articles, in which are copies of addresses made while working for the Department of Labor during World War I, reports of testimony concerning labor legislation given before various congressional committees during the Depression, and articles and speeches pertaining to his role in the conflict between the AFL and the CIO in the 1930s.
