The correspondence file includes only ten items--letters and bulletins, 1950, July 26 - 1952, July 31. In addition, the collection includes scripts of three series of radio programs sponsored by Dane County labor organizations during World War II.
The first series is the “Workers Service Radio Program,” 1941, Dec. 13 - 1942, Aug. 15. These programs are used to express the attitudes of organized labor toward the national war effort as a whole, as well as the point of view on such subjects as war profits, overtime for workers and overtime pay, poor working conditions excused by the war situation, allocation of wages for war bonds, workers' education, and the draft.
The second series, called “Labor's Weekly Broadcast,” 1942, Sept. 19 - 1944, Oct. 21, covers similar subjects as explained by local and international union leaders, Arnold Zander, Professor Ernest Schwarztrauber, and others. They discuss social security, manpower, the International Labor Organization, and the anticipated conversion of industry to a peacetime economy.
The third series of programs, “Labor Speaks,” 1943, Dec. 2 - 1944, Sept. 4, discusses the structure of trade unions on the local, state, and national levels, as well as subjects enumerated above. In addition, there are two separate radio scripts, “Labor Day,” 1942, Sept. 5, and “Poppy Day,” 1943.
Also included in this collection is a folder of papers of the Wisconsin State Employees Association containing correspondence, 1938, June 16 - 1941, June 19, and a sample copy of a constitution for local chapters.
