Processed: February, 1968 Accession No. 5
The papers of John Edelman were deposited with the Labor History Archives in July, 1963 by John Edelman.
John W. Edelman was born at Belleville, New Jersey in 1893. He grew up in England and attended the London School of Economics. He returned to the United States in 1916. For ten years he worked as editor for various newspapers, including the Reading, Pennsylvania Tribune.
In 1926, he accepted a position with the American Federation of Hosiery Workers as a labor representative. Soon after the Congress for Industrial Organizations was founded in 1936, he was appointed one of its early staff members. He served as CIO Regional Director in Philadelphia until 1939. During the early years of World War II, Edelman served in a number of government positions. From 1940-1941, he was Assistant Director of Information for the U.S. Housing Authority. From 1941-1942, he was a consultant on community, labor, and consumer problems for the Council of National Defense. From 1942-1943, he was the CIO labor liaison officer in the Office of Price Administration. In 1943, he left the government to take charge of the Washington office of the Textile Workers Union of America - CIO. As director of this office, Edelman was primarily concerned with lobbying to persuade Congress to pass the legislation wich the union felt was necessary to benefit its program and to help the cause of organized labor. He remained in charge of the Washington office until his retirement in 1963. Most of this collection pertains to Edelman's work with the Washington office of the Textile Workers Union. The collection covers the period from 1943 to 1963.

After John Edelman's retirement from the TWUA in 1963 he became involved with the National Council of Senior Citizens (NCSC) as secretary-treasurer, and became president in 1964. On July 30, 1965, he was present at former President Truman's home in Independence, Missouri, for the signing into law of the Medicare bill by President Lyndon B. Johnson. In 1966 failing health forced him to curtail has activities and he stepped down from the presidency of NCSC. He remained very active with the group as president emeritus, and also worked on behalf of other senior and consumer groups. In 1970 and 1971 he participated in regional and national White House Conferences on Aging. He also worked on his autobiography, Labor Lobbyist, which was edited and published after his death by his son-in-law Joseph Carter.
