  • Carl Haessler Papers
    THE CARL HAESSLER COLLECTION Papers, 1908-1972 11 linear feet 1 scrapbook Accession Number: 31 LC Number: MS The papers of Carl Haessler were placed in the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs in two installments. The first was donated in November of 1972 and the second after Mr. Haessler's death in December of that year by his wife, Lucy Haessler. The two sections of the collection were integrated and processing was completed in December 1978. Carl Haessler was born 5 August 1888 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His father was a builder's hardware contractor and his mother was a teacher in the Milwaukee school system. Carl attended public school in Milwaukee and graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a Bachelor Degree in Latin in 1911. It was also in this year that he was awarded a Rhodes scholarship. From 1911 to 1914 Carl attended Balliol College Oxford. During his years at Oxford, Haessler became interested in the socialist movement and joined the Fabian Socialists. Returning to the United States in 1914, Haessler became a member of the American Socialist Party. He also began a teaching career in the Philosophy Department of Illinois University. He received his PhD upon completion of his thesis, "The Failure of Scottish Realism." In 1917 Illinois dismissed Haessler from his post for his political activity against American involvement in World War I. For one year Haessler was employed by Victor Berger, editor of the labor-socialist paper, the Milwaukee Leader. In June 1918 Haessler was drafted into the army. Carl accepted the drafting, but in bootcamp refused to put on the army uniform.

The objective of its founders was to start a news service that would counter the anti-labor bias of commercial presses. Committed to objective reporting, its editors represented every hue in the political spectrum, from conservative to independent to Socialist to Communist. At its peak shortly after World War II, the Federated Press had over 250 subscribers among the labor press and commercial newspapers.

  • The Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs
    Wayne State University: The Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs Nineteen seventy-seven marks the seventeenth year of operation of the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. It is now one of the largest, if not the largest, labo; archives in the world, with a collection of more than 25 million individual items, 125,000 photographs and illustrations, and approximately 20,000 tape recordings, videotapes, and films. Several hundred oral history interviews-tapes and transcripts-and also a small reference library of 10,000 books, monographs, dissertations, and newspapers round out the holdings. Nevertheless, many gaps still exist in the holdings of the Archives, a number of important collections remain unprocessed, and negotiations with several major donors to determine conditions of access to their collections are unresolved. The Archives has leads to more than two thousand collections, which must be pursued actively lest some irreplace- able records and manuscripts are lost. Much critical work needs to be done to establish the Labor Archives as a truly great labor research institution. The major theme of the Archives is the American labor movement, with special emphasis upon the industrial unions and the more progressive Congress of Industrial Organizations-affiliated unions, as well as upon the records of related socio-economic and political movements in the United States. Seven major international or national labor unions have designated Wayne State as their official depository for inactive historical files: the Industrial Workers of the World, or "Wobblies" (IWW); the Newspaper Guild (NG); the American Federation of Teachers (AFT); the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA); the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME); the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers (UAW); and the United Farm Workers (UFW).

  • C. W. Editor Calls on G. M. Strikers in Plant at Flint
    C. W. Editor Calls On G. M. Strikers In Plant at Flint Dorothy Day The Catholic Worker, March 1937, 1, 4. Summary: Supports the sit-down strike as a nonviolent tactic in labor organizing. Describes in detail a visit to strikers against General Motors in Flint, Michigan. Notes Communists take advantage of strikes to promote their philosophy of life and calls for Catholics to become “apostles of labor” to reach the masses. (DDLW #317). St. Antonino, Archbishop of Florence back in the fourteenth century, anticipated Marx when he said that all value depends upon labor, whether of hand or head. He was a man who was called upon to pass judgment on many of the vexed economic problems of his day. I was thinking of St. Antonino and labor’s place in the scheme of things as I came up from Cincinnati, where I had been invited to visit Archbishop McNicholas, and I was thinking that, now again, industrialists, bankers, merchants and labor leaders were looking to churchmen to make pronouncements on the moral aspects of our economic problems. It was the moral aspect of the sit-down strike that was bothering the general public and since the general public gets only what the newspapers and radio present to them, and since neither churchmen nor the general public can climb in windows of barricaded, struck plants to talk to strikers and get a picture of the situation, it was up to us to try to get that picture. At present writing there are 30 major strikes going on all over the country.

  • *House of Hospitality
    *House of Hospitality Dorothy Day Chapter Eleven Summary: Bucolic description of the antics of Bessie the calf. Much of the chapter describes her visit to the sit-down strike in Flint, Michigan, against General Motors and their tactics. Says labor in the U.S. needs a long range program of education about cooperatives, credit unions, and a philosophy of labor. Quotes from a leaflet distributed to the men on the breadline inviting them to attend a parish mission. After a talk to a women’s club in Florida she observes that the rich who deny Christ in His poor “are atheists indeed.” (DDLW #446). 1 NOW that the strike is over, there is a lull in the work and a good opportunity for a few days at the farm. The February sun is pouring into the kitchen and dining-room of the farm. The temperature is thirty–yesterday it was twelve at this time in the morning, and the house is perfectly comfortable with wood fires going in the two rooms. The rest of the house is, of course, like an ice box. We take hot bricks to bed at night. It is one of the thrills of a lifetime to feel one’s warmth gradually permeating the icy sheets and one’s breath making a corner warm for one’s nose. A pleasure the inhabitants of steam-heated apartments can never know. A cup of hot coffee never tastes so good as when coming out of an ice cold room into a warm kitchen. An interruption to go out in the kitchen and admire the butter.

Number MS Len DeCaux placed his papers in the Archi es of Laoor History and Urban Affairs in May of 1977. They were opened for research in August of I37S Leonard Howard DeCaux was born in Westport, New Zealand on October !4, 1899, the son of an Anglican vicar He was educated at Harrow and Oxforc where he studied classics. The poverty and slum conditions wnich he saw during his adolescence while his family was living in Belfast caused him to begin to question the traditional upper-class British values and those of the Church of England in which he had been raised. World War I in which he served intensified this rejection. Instead he moved to socialism and an identification with the working class in his search for some solution to social and economic inequities. In 1921 he emigrated to the United States where he felt he would be better able to become a member of the industrial working class than would be possible in England. He toured the country riding the rails and earning a meager living taking jobs as a laborer and merchant seaman. During his time he joined the IWW. From 1922 to 1924 he attended the Brookwood Labor College where he met his future wife, Caroline Abrams. Having gotten some experience writing for IWW paoers, DeCaux was hired in 1925 by Carl Haessler of the Federated Press, a news service for the labor press, who sent him to England and Germany as a foreign correspondent.
