Physical Description: 25 boxes 
Scope and Content Note

This is a subject file which served a number of purposes. It is (1) a file of correspondence of the division staff, (2) a file of miscellaneous papers used in the production of news releases and other publicity produced by the division, and (3) a file containing many samples of the materials published by the division. Mimeographed papers, such as news releases were removed if they are duplicated in another file.

With the aid of materials produced by the Research or Education Divisions, the Publications Division published many posters, circular letters, handbills, and pamphlets for organizing campaigns. It published instructional materials for labor schools and institutes, and some for organizers and administrators of local unions on such subjects as pensions, minimum wages and Right to Work laws. In Box 19 of this file is a pamphlet by Emil Rieve, International Labor Standards, A Key to World Security. The undated pamphlet was published shortly after World War II, and it attracted much attention because of a proposed International Code of Fair Labor Practices.

In the file are many clippings of strike news and statements of employers and government officials. Others tell of negotiations, wage increases, and human interest stories. Sometimes the stories are of violence and death.
