    Archbishop Edward I Hannah Role As Chairman of the National

    Apostle of the Dock: Archbishop Edward J. Hannah’s Role as Chairman of the National Longshoremen’s Board During the 1934 San Francisco Waterfront Strike Jaime Garcia De Alba he Reverend Edward Joseph Hanna (1860-1944) served as Archbishop of San Francisco from 1915 through his retirement in 1935. On June 26 1934, at the height of the San TFrancisco Waterfront/Pacific Coast Longshoremen’s Strike, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt named Archbishop Hanna chairman of the National Longshoremen’s Board (NLB). The significance of Rev. Manna’s role as chairman served as a model of the American Catholic hierarchy’s cooperation with the President and the New Deal. Presidential appointments of Catholic leaders represented a new era for the Church, which viewed the federal government’s depression program as a response to Papal doctrine for social reform. Archbishop Hanna entered as arbiter in the 1934 Strike with a solid record for civil service and moderate support of organized labor. Although Rev. Hanna and the Presidential board contributed minimally after its initial introduction into the conflict between longshoremen and shipping employers, tangled in a seemingly unbreakable stand off by late June 1934, the NLB proved beneficial after both sides agreed to let the board arbitrate their grievances. Archbishop Manna then found an opportunity to demonstrate Catholic doctrine as a guide out of the city’s turmoil, and the board’s potential as an example of Church’s support with the governmental recovery program.1 In 1912, then Archbishop of San Francisco William Patrick Riordan made a considerable effort to appoint Rev.

Mooney’s false conviction and death sentence set off a 22-year campaign that proved Mooney had been framed, made him one of the world’s most famous Americans, and eventually resulted in his exoneration. The campaign also created an enormous number of print and visual materials, including legal briefs, books, pamphlets, movies, flyers, stamps, poetry, and music. The examples in this exhibition are only a few of the over 150 items in Yale Law Library’s collection on the Mooney case, housed in the Rare Book Collection. They form a rich re- source for studying the Mooney case, the American Left in the interwar years, and the emergence of modern media campaigns.

One general on the winning side called this battle \murder, not war." For several days, the losing side refused to ask for a truce to collect the wounded, who suffered to death in the June heat. After this battle, the losing side retreated to cross the James River, then completed the Overland Campaign and began the siege of Petersburg.

This period is widely known as the First Red Scare, and is framed as a reaction to recent anarchist terrorism, syndicalist unionizing, and the Bolshevik Revolution.

    The Representation of Tom Mooney, 1916–1939

    ROIPHE AFTER BP 3/2/2009 8:25:58 AM LAWYERING AT THE EXTREMES: THE REPRESENTATION OF TOM MOONEY, 1916–1939 Rebecca Roiphe* INTRODUCTION In 1916, America, unhinged by its own labor disputes, fought bitterly over the question of whether to enter the war in Europe.1 At a prowar rally in San Francisco, the two issues (which were never completely separate) collided when a bomb went off, killing nine people and wounding many others. A detective for hire, Martin Swanson, immediately had a suspect in mind: Thomas J. Mooney, a militant Socialist and labor activist, who had already been charged and acquitted several times of transporting explosives with the purpose of destroying the transmission lines of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). Mooney, along with several others, was arrested, tried, and convicted. Even at the time, observers noted the lack of evidence and the shaky unreliable witnesses, but Mooney was sentenced to death nonetheless. This essay tells the story of the lawyers who represented Mooney during his twenty-three-year fight for freedom. This story, in turn, offers a lens through which to explore the difficulty of representing a client whose views are not only opposed to that of the lawyer but also fundamentally antithetical to all the institutions, laws, and rules the lawyer theoretically must obey. With obvious relevance to contemporary efforts to represent clients detained in Guantánamo Bay, this essay seeks to unearth some of the many ethical issues that arise in that context, with or without solutions. By traveling through this historical representation, this essay poses an even more fundamental question: are there representations that stretch the boundary of what is appropriate for a lawyer in contemporary democracy?2 * Associate Professor of Law, New York Law School; J.D., 2000, Harvard Law School; Ph.D, 2002, University of Chicago.

Introduction The Japanese literary world of the 1920s can be characterized by the emergence of three major literary forces: proletarian literature, modernist literature, and popular literature, including historical fiction and the new genre of mystery novels. For the most part, relations between these three camps cannot exactly be described as amicable. Proletarian writers crtiticized modernist works as wordplays lacking in social value, while modernist writers crticized proletarian works as ideological statements lacking in literary value. Popular literature was widely viewed to have neither literary nor social merit, and many literary crtics would not deign to write about it. Even today, when the line between fine and popular literature has blurred almost to non-existence, many researchers continue to rigidly adhere to these distinctions when looking at 1920s literature. Authors are still classified without question as “proletarian writers,” “modernist writers,” and “popular writers,” and these classifications are used as the basis for examining their works. Truth be told, however, these distinctions were never absolute. A number of modernist writers crossed over to proletarian literature and vice versa.

    EMMA GOLDMAN: A GUIDE TO HER LIFE AND DOCUMENTARY SOURCES Candace Falk, Editor and Director Stephen Cole, Associate Editor Sally Thomas, Assistant Editor CHRONOLOGY (1901 - 1919) 1901 January-March Goldman supports herself by working as a nurse in New York City; helps to arrange a U.S. tour for Peter Kropotkin in March and April. Goldman reestablishes friendship with her former lover Edward Brady. April-July Goldman lecture tour begins with a free-speech battle in Philadelphia when she is prevented from speaking before the Shirt Makers Union. Goldman and the organizations that sponsor her talks, including the Single Tax Society, defy police orders; Goldman speaks in public on at least two occasions. On April 14 she speaks at an event sponsored by the Social Science Club; other speakers include Voltairine de Cleyre. Despite the Social Science Club's opposition to Goldman's anarchist views, it passes a resolution protesting the violation of her right to free speech. Speaks in Lynn, Mass., Boston, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, St. Louis, Chicago, and Spring Valley, Ill., on such topics as "Anarchism and Trade Unionism," "The Causes of Vice," and "Cooperation a Factor in the Industrial Struggle." July 15-August 15 Goldman spends a month with her sister Helena, in Rochester, N.Y., traveling briefly to Niagara Falls and to Buffalo, N.Y., to visit the Pan-American Exposition. Early September Goldman visits Alexander Berkman at the penitentiary in Allegheny, Pa., the first time she has seen him in nine years. 1 September 6 President William McKinley shot by self-proclaimed anarchist Leon Czolgosz in Buffalo, N.Y., at the Pan-American Exposition.

To Jason and Jonathan Acknowledgements The process of researching and writing a dissertation is a long, arduous journey, but mercifully not one made alone. At each stop along the way (and some of my stops were longer than others), I received tremendous support and encouragement from mentors, scholars, friends, and family. I would like to start by thanking my advisor, Donald Pisani, for his guidance through this process. I genuinely appreciate his ability to maintain a good humor, despite my many delays, while providing advice and insight that kept me motivated. I would also like to thank the other members of my dissertation committee – Robert Griswold, Albert Hurtado, Warren Metcalf, and Zev Trachtenberg – for their willingness to read this work and provide valuable comments and suggestions. While each member of my committee has contributed to making this a better dissertation, those errors still imbedded in this work are solely my responsibility. I would be remiss here at the end of my graduate experience if I did not also take a moment to thank Steve Gillon.
