THE CHARLES CHIAKULAS COLLECTION 59 Manuscript Boxes 4 Newspaper Boxes Processed: 1968-1969 Accession No. 295 By: DM The papers of Charles Chiakulas were deposited with the Labor History Archives on June 11, 1968.

Charles Chiakulas was born in Chicago, on Dec. 5, 1917, the son of Greek immigrants. He received his formal education in Chicago, graduating from Crane Technical High School and attending Wright Junior College. While in high school, he also attended Greek school classes, and was able to speak, read and write Greek. In 1940 he became active in the AFL Retail Clerks Union. His first industrial job was at Revere Copper and Brass Company, and he became a steward in Local 477, UAW-AFL. After holding several positions with this union, he became its president in 1944, and led the union into the UAW-CIO. After three years as president, he became an International Representative, doing organizing work and contract negotiation in Region 4. Subsequently he worked on the Competitive Shops staff, and on Farm Equipment. In 1956 he became Assistant Director of the UAW Borg-Warner Department. At the request of Walter Reuther, Chiakulas was sent to Cyprus as a special envoy for the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions. Here he was to assist the Cyprus Workers Confederation, also known as SEK, in "trying to organize Cypriot workers into the free trade union movement, and to assist them in making representations on the Cyprus colonial government for the release of a number of trade union leaders being detained for their activities in support of their fight for independence from British colonial rule". While in Cyprus he met with Archbishop Makarios, and many leading figures in the Cyprus controversy. In 1957 he was sent once more, and again in 1964, and in the meantime maintained active correspondence and interest in the Cyprus situation. In 1963 he was Coordinator of the Industrial Union Department, where he set up, in Chicago, the Community Union Center. Working in the ghetto with tenant unions and organizational work, he cooperated with numbers of "poverty" and "ghetto" groups and organizations, meeting with Martin Luther King and others. As coordinator for COPE in the 11th congressional district, he was active politically, and kept quite a political file. He was a member of a great number of peace organizations, and a series on that subject is also included here. The unanimity of feeling, amounting to passion, in the Greek community, on the subject of Cyprus, is well reflected here, in the Cyprus series, Series 13, which includes papers of the Justice for Cyprus Committee, an activist Chicago group. However when it came -2-

to the subject of the Greek junta's coup, the government take-over in 19 67, the community rapidly split between liberals who abhorred it, and conservatives who tolerated or approved. There is some material on the "political" role of actress Melina Mercouri. This is the story of Series 12, "Greece and the 1967 Coup". These papers also include files on the Industrial Union Depart- ment, with emphasis on NLRB work, in which Chiakulas acquired some expertise. Though not a lawyer, his way of putting problems succinct- ly enabled his to do quite a bit of work on briefs and putting griev- ances to paper. He kept files on Companies and files on particular unions which interested him, and was an inveterate clipper of news items on such subjects as he made "his own". The personal subject file, Series 15, includes such a variety of subjects. Further series descriptions are included with this guide. Chiakulas was killed in an automobile accident on April 27, 19 68. It must be said that a great deal of material - clippings and pamphlets, etc. might not always be kept with a collection such as this, but the very universality of Chiakulas' interests and concerns is so well reflected that discarding would have subtracted from the whole. The collection stands as a unique portrait of a man deeply interested in humane concerns, willing to give much personal time and work to causes. He was a most ardent believer in the cause of unionism as a practical way to world improvement. His education never stopped; he was constantly and consciously studying and learning, throughout. The Chiakulas Collection demonstrates, also, how union work itself can provide a competent and idealistic working man, with the framework and the tools to accomplish many different kinds of improvements, and to have some influence in "changing things". The Charles Chiakulas Collection covers the period 1944-1968.

Series 6 - Local 477 In 1941, Chiakulas began work at Revere Copper and Brass, in Chicago. He was a blocker in the rolling mill. Within six months he was a steward in Local 477, then in UAW-AFL. In 1942 he shifted to the press department as a press operator, and later became setup man in deep draw work. He was elected department steward and then chief steward of the mfg. division. Between 1941 and 1944, he was Chief Steward, chairman of Education committee, Bargaining and Grievance Committee, and a member of the Local's Executive Board. In 1944 he became president of Local 477, UAW-AFL, and led the union into the UAW-CIO. He was president of the local from 1944 to 1947, when he became an International Representative. These papers show some of the turmail for which the old UAW-AFL was well known, and there is a "history" of Local 477, probably by Chiakulas, with reference to Homer Martin, Tony Doria, and some well-known partic- ipants in UAW-AFL doings.

The CUC, supported by IUD, brings together the neighborhood people in a program of constructive action to improve ghetto conditions, both of living and working. Successful tenant strikes, the organizing of tenant unions, were only a part of Chiakulas accomplishments here. Martin Luther King and the SCLC assisted in East Garfield Park, and in organizing Saks-Gimbels workers. Cooperation with many organizations was achieved, as is indicated in this series.

In 1955 at the request of Walter Reuther, Chiakulas was sent to Cyprus as a special envoy for the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (the I.C.F.T.U.). This is an international labor organization representing over six million workers, and with well over a hundred affiliated unions. He undertook similar missions in 1957 and again in 1964, spending time in Greece as well as Cyprus, meeting with leaders of Greek and Cypriot trade unions, and devoting much time with rank and file workers, as well, as photos in the Cyprus series will show. Out of this experience there developed two special interests which form two separate series, following this one. The seizure of the Greek governmental power, by the military junta, in 1967, was of great concern to Chiakulas. Although his interest in Greece is closely allied with his ICFTU experience, it was thought better that it be put in a single series, since much of it deals with American-Greek reaction. These papers, dealing specifically with Greece and the 1967 coup, are in the next series (Series 12). Then the interest Chiakulas felt during the series of crises in Cyprus, 1955-1968 also comprise a whole group, and include papers involving his missions there, and his work with activist groups in Chicago, interested in Cypriot events. His union friends in Cyprus sent him many newspapers and clippings and letters. This whole group will be found in Series 13. The researcher should be aware of the inter- dependent nature of Series 11, 12 and 13. Blue metal signals on some folders indicate that Greek language material is included; this is true also in following series.

Series 12 - Greece and the 1967 Coup. The parents of Charles Chiakulas were immigrants from Greece. His father was from Rizas, his mother from Kamari. During his high school years he attended Greek School classes, and was able to speak, read and write Greek. His natural interest in Greece and his many contacts there led him to keep many clippings, reports and letters in his files. After the takeover of the Greek government by military junta, on April 21, 1967, he became active with a number of groups indignant and anxious, though rather helpless, against the right- wing militarists and in favor of Greek democracy. Melina Mercouri's appearances in Chicago are one of the subjects included here. Box 36

Series 13 - Cyprus During the three missions to Cyprus, undertaken for the ICFTU, Charles Chiakulas studied the stormy situation as it affected workers and unions, and in addition, maintained the closest interest in the course of events on Cyprus, while back in America. He kept constant correspondence with Cypriots, and was active in leading the Justice for Cyprus Committee in Chicago, which attempted to use any influence possible, to help toward a settlement of the crisis. While later the Greek community was split in its attitude toward the Greek coup of 1967, there was only unanimity of feeling and purpose, when it came to Cyprus. The papers here are an assortment of personal records, letters, and reports, trade union information, and collected published items; of all kinds. Box 38 Correspondence, 1954-1955 (three folders) Fr.

This is a group of whole, or large parts of, newspapers, which were kept by CC because of interesting material on Cyprus, Greece, and labor questions. They are grouped together here, in newspaper folders, as they are papers not too readily available, ordinarily, to researchers. Box 49 contains English language papers; Box 50 has Greek language papers, American, Greek, and Cypriot; Box 51 has Times of Cyprus, and Box 52, The Cyprus Mail, both Cypriot papers collected by CC while there, and also mailed to him by friends in Cyprus who knew how closely he followed the course of the Cyprus question. Several of the papers are labor papers.

Series 15 - Personal Subject File This series demonstrates the eclectic side of Charles Chiakulas. It should be noted that CC was an expert at writing and designing handbills, and did so for many groups, but especially in union organizing. This grass-roots communication with the worker at the plant gate plays an important role in union work. There are many folders here showing samples of handbills and even demonstrating their preparation. (Note should also be made of the file on Frank Callaghan, whose letters tell a story of union organizing in California against difficult odds.) His early unsuccessful race for the office of Alderman in Chicago, is included here, an interesting political study in itself. Other subjects here are simply part of his many interests and involvements. Box 53 Aldermanic Race, 1946-1947 - Ballots Totals listed; notes Aldermanic Race - CIU Council Chic.
