Scope and Content Note

This general subject file, arranged alphabetically by topic and chronologically thereunder, includes correspondence of President Emil Rieve and of his staff. Other communications are in the form of telegrams, mimeographed circulars, form letters, and related papers, a few of which are printed. Most of the letters are staff communications with various national offices or with locals and joint boards, although there is some correspondence with other unions, politicians, and businessmen.

Subjects of papers in the file include administration and financial affairs of the union at all levels, wages, negotiations, strikes, internal strife, politics, and testimony before congressional committees. Proposed methods of coping with the many problems in the textile industry, usually written from the viewpoint of union members and officers, are the subjects of many of the letters and memoranda in this file.
