Dear Ur. Tobin:

I am writing to aak whether there la any particular advantage in maintaining your National haadquartera in Indlanapolia, and if you feel free to tall ma why your organization la located thara. I have heard a good deal of argument that a National organization ought to looate ita haadquartara at aome central point eaaily reached from the varloua aeotiona of the *ourtry* Has your organization ever oonaldared Washington b.C; aa a place for your National headqunrteraT la tRere^ in yOur opinion, any particular advantage in a National Trade Union organization maintaining ita haalquartera in WaahlngtonT

I ahall greatly appreciate your argument for or agalnat National haadquartara being in Washington.

Thanking you in advanoe for your kln&neaa in re- plying, with the beat of good wlahea, I remain

Fraternally youra.

Your litter in which you a3k me *hy wa are located in Indiana] oils, also what I have to nay about Washington aa a city for the headquarters^ef a National organization, received.

First, I *ant to aay, wa ar<* logp + nd in Indiana! olle, principally because it la a medium-sized^ fa oentrally located, and wa get firat claaa service from th" hanks, th ;rinting hcuaea and the poat office.

An International Union could net very "all locate in a city like Chicago or New York, beoaune the officers would continually be requeated to dewate their attention to local affaire, so to looata in a medium alze oity ia r^alTy teat for an International Uniont frcm In—Ian—* ells we can ^e^ train* for any place* There are more trunk line* running out of Indianayolls, eaat and weat, than it any oth^r city In the middle west with terhapa, the exception of Chicago. Thla is the reason ther* are ao many International headquarters looated In Indianapolis.

About Washington for headquarters for your organization, I daalre to aay, If you are loorted th^re for laglaJatlva ressone, Washington la all rl jht, but I do not ccnalder It a suitable city for headquartera. The American Federation of Labor is located there for leglal^tlve )urpoaea. Cur International Union would not, for one moment, consider locating in Washington.

Office bulUlnie In Indianapolla ara numaroua and rente are reaaonabl*. Wa are looated in a building erected and owned by the United Broth-rhood of Carpenter*.

We have no intention of changing our h^adouartera, but, were *a to change to any oth^r city, w* would favor Cleveland or Cincinnati, for r^asona above stated, that la, that they ara c-ntrally located, with numerrua train conneetlona, and not too large for International Uniona to tranaaot their buelneaa aucoaaafully.

Dear Mr. Tobin:

At the moment I am making a very special effort to add aore national and international unions to the League's list of contributors. Rose Schneideman and I feel that the unions recognize the value of our work with am? for the labor move-ient and that therefore they .night gladly give us more tangible support than we are now receiving.

I need not detail to you our activities in line with our three-fold program - organisation, education and legislation - except in a general way, because you are familiar with it. I have just prepared a sua ary of our organization and strike assistance, which will be submitted to our National Board at its meeting beginning Oece.iber 9, and which shows that we have given assistance to workers in 47 trades. This includes actual organizing of women workers, strike assistance and picket duty. All of our local units carry on educational work through workers' classes and procedure assistance to new unions, so necessary to stn.rt a new union to function effectively.

I would be most grateful if you could consider the igrantln^ of a substantial contribution towards our work, thus helping the League to meet the many calls during these serious days and in connection with the defense pro-yarn.

My deepest thanks for your help and greetings to you.

The subject matter whiCi ve di^cu^sed recently in Wash- ington was broug t up before the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor and it was decided that the President of the Federation, Mr. William Green, would send out a circular letter to the Intern tional Unions advi3ing tnem of the National Women's Trad* Union Learue and the work in which it i3 enff?ed, etc. In other torus, the Federation co Id not impose an order on any Inter- national Union to co tribute, but after explaining it, left it to the different organizations to deci

Dear Mr. Tobin:

Last year about this time your International Brotherhood, in response to a letter from President Green, sent the League a contribution of $500.00 for the purpose of extending our Public Relations work. Could you renew the gift this year? Please do.

We have widened our contacts with people whom we regard as the "public* and those who want reliable facts about labor Issues, which they do not get in the public press, thy there are strikes in wartime is one of the most frequent questions. There is much we can say about the underlying causes of strikes. The hl<^ pay earned by workers is another question asked. We tell about the "take home" pay, and about the number of workers who earned less than the 4C cent hourly minimum wage under the *^age and Hour Law.

We prepared and had printed the pamphlet, "Action Needed 1 Poet-*ar Jobs for Wonen." Copy was sent to y u as soon as it was off the press. This pamphlet is being widely circulated, not only among unions, bu* a-iong the public. *e *re hiving a good response for orders fron p+onle we never heard from before.

Then there is our persistent effort to defeat the so-called Equal Rights blanket amendment which, if passed by Congress, will wipe out all labor laws for women which do not apply equally to men. Labor, as you know, is opposed to this amendment and in fighting it we are joined by nine national women's organisations whose support we have won. The sponsors of the amendment have been es&ecially active on Capitol Hill these past months and even more ao since it is Included in the platforms of both the Hepubllcan and Teoocratic parties, W* are also counteracting their misleading "equality" campaigns ic several state. Safe- guarding our labor laws nainstakingly built up by labor and the national women's organization* over a oeriod of years is a "must* on the League's prograu.

have b#en ai4in+ eoae of vur local leagues to win wider wvmort in their respective looalttlew, thereby adding to the strength of our national organization.

These are but a few of the high spot a of our work thia past year. wai.t not only to hold the gains made but to forge ahead to win an ever wider audience.

I hope I nay count on the renewal of your contribution. A thousand thanks.

Kindest regards.

Dear Mr. Tobin:

Another yeer has uassed - what an eventful year it has been - and here I am again, asking for the renewal of your $50C contribution and to say thanks for your supuort in the past in addition to expressing my faith that it may continue.

Like all of labor, problems and issues confronting u* challenge us to do more and more. Every mall brinrs letters from people outside our movement for facts about labor problems and to enlarge upon information given in our monthly Bulletin, which p-oes to a good sized "public"^roup.

I want to tell you briefly of our stimulating Local League Officers Conference held in May at our National headquarters. The subject disciesed was a broadening of the League's urogram on local and national levies. Our National jioard, orior to the meeting, took stock for the purpose of determining if we are keeping in sten with the needs of today - and tomorrow. Our locals not only welcomed a conference but were ready for it. -*ny of the delegates who are working at their respective trade* contributed to the discussion from first-hand experience and were aware of the needs in their work-a-day lives and in their communities.

The hi^tli#ht of the discussion was "The Basic Rights of Women Workers" - the right to a job, equal pay for equal work, and uniform seniority rights. There *as lots of give anJ take on whether all aarrled women should quit their jobs and go beck home. In fact, there was rreat concern over all the current talk that "women should back hone". A bright millinery worker aaked, "how will you decide who doesn't need to work?* mother said, "we can't msucw blanket decieiona - we are talking about htcmm beings who t*ve to eat.* What will happen during reconversion to the millions of women who made the weapons of war? Will their right to work be recognized? Co-nmunity problems were fully recognized as being the concern of all citizens. Child care, housing, price control, health - to name but a few - no longer are regarded as "welfare" problems, but real labor and community problems.

It was agreed that women should have the right to work regardless of "means" or "need", that wa#e rates should be based on the job and not on whether the work is performed by a man or a woman, that therg should be uniform seniority and opportunity for equal participation in union activities, and this means an equal chance to hold office in the union, local and national. Our first printed folder on the basic right to work is enclosed. have laid the structure upon which our local leagues may build community understanding of and cooperation with their purpose and function.

*e are actively supporting the Pttll ixnployment Bill now before Congress; the 1945 Social Security Bill; the enactment of federal equal nay legislation(six states have passed an equal pay law aimed to eliminate the dual ware system which is against the interests of both men and women because it weakens the whole ware structure); and last but not least, we will continue our vi/-orous opposition to the so-called Equal Rights Amendment. I know I need not tell you about the rreat danger Inherent in this amendment because you are aware of it and I remember that you voted a

To put our broadened program into high gear is an obliga- tion with us. Because program and budget are Interdependent, I know you will help us araln. Always my thanks and kindest regards to you.

Dear r. Tobin:

In anaw rinf your letter of December 5, I first thank you most sincerely for the renewal of the ?50C contribution from your Int-rn< ti^nal Brother.ooc ^iven to-ard the bu. .^et of the National *o .en's Trace Inion Leayie. A letter of th -n:a went to secretary Gilleanie on the day the contribution was received.

Tien we let in President Greer.'a office one dp" Ir.st week, I "ic : t ere ar been the o^rort'mity to talk at length with yo- abo-it the League and its work and the source of its income. I feel cure t is TO* Id h .ve been .ore fruitf'tl and satisfactory to otl* of us.

The activities of t e Leamie, local Md national, f. 11 into t.ree r^ain divieiona - or^ nization of workers into trale unions, ed:c^tion and legislation.

The ôrk with the union! in orânizin^- drivea an<^ in aiding new un'ms to *ct started, especially locals *ît ô en < ra, is carried on in tne *vin by our local leaûea, but not infrequently in coODtration -ith tne i tional lee^rue. Tf*ere are â vou -now, plenty of anell local unions who seek and need our help aaJ encouragement and who need to know what the union means to then ttnd wnat their tu- bers nip in a union mane. Tr.ey need to have irr-rea ed unon tne^ tne conetructive work accormliahed by our ^rect 1 oor novenent over the t ^ra. ?!ia ia a vital -t se of our or^Lnization work - namely, to ^ê work ra union conacioua. llenrly all of our local 1 *uee ve affiliated -*lth ther oat of the local unlona with worten aenbtra in t eir rea active localltiea a^ cooperate with the local l*bor

Locally and nationally w# were active ia tne ^ar effort and all thla called for. Fbr the National League, I aarved aa a laaber of - 3 -

the "*ar anno-er Commission's Tomen's Advisory Comiittee which req'iired two or three days' -ork each onth. ^rly in tne war the omen's B*^reau of the U.S. Dop.artment of Labor netitioned the Leag-de's National Board to release Lie for six months for field work in war production centers and to work with the unions on the eaual pt-y issue. At the end of six months the Deoart aent asked for an extension of my time -^nc I continued work in the Government for a full year, after which I returned to the League but continuad active coone ation *"ith tne U.S. Women's Bureau.

Our educational ctiviti^s tie in with our public relations work. But they also include the conduct of classes. By way of example, you will find enclosed the TOrk^rs education rrogr;-3 of our New York Let^me. You are aware that we h vo within our r.embersaio an- supporters, pe pie outside the trade union movement *?ho -re sympatnetic -ith 1 bor'6 cause. T-iese neonle need to knov f-bout i rjes which underlie wnat workers fir. t for nr- t ey need to 'mow too abo it tn^ constructive achieve ents by 1 bor on local and natimal levels. Hie rrublic press rarely, if ev r, gives 1 bor a nit for its far-reaching ?ood acts.

"e sunnly women's organizations with discission laterial on current labor issues and we send speakers to any nu:aber of t es^ organizations to nr^sent labor facts. All this is ai-ied to ere te a nore favorable public ouinion and to win an ever wider public sup )rt.

"Life and Labor Billetin", our -onthly oblication, concerns itself nriaarily with labor issues and goes to a mailing Hat of 4,000. Ye constantly add to tne list the names of the "public", who need in ever in- crossing nu.bers to have labor facts.

Our legislative m^ra:, co-ty of Thich is Mclo*e\ is labor's -ro- -ram, and is carried on in cooperation with our local league* and the lemberthio. They are the voters who aeni the men to Con.preas - hence t ey . ve a vit 1 sta:e in ederal legislation.

Lr. Daniel J. Tobin, General .^resident International Jrotnerhood of Te-n^st-^rs, Ch^uffe'^rs, Varehousanen and Helpers Michigan Jtraet, Indisncpolis, Indians.

Dear Lr. Tobin:-

last year along about tni3 time your Interactional ft jrotherhcod 3ent its contribution of ^500 in support of the work of our Natiuial League. May I leave with you a plea for its renewal this year. Zhile I am not unmindful of yjur letter of last year, I have faith that you will help us asain.

Following the adjournment of Congress *e decided to catch our bra'.th after moaths of hectic activity. ,ut we did not reckon with "unfinished business" sad the work before ua which deuands s:stained effort.

Programs for the annual loc^l League conferences were pre ared. five Lea ues eld state and inter-sta^e conferences in October. Workers' classes have bean organized and enrollments ar* most enco^r^ging. ^blic affairs, daiestic *snd international, ?nd current events cc rses s^*re in popularity. i4rs. Roosevelt will ag*in conduct ** slass on c trrant events: international and n*ticnal, aa well as political end econnaic ha.s^enings * nd their effect on the United Jtatea. Cur education program is designed especially to help wage earners broaden t.eir interests and develop their perspectives as citizens in a world deriving to eliminate w- t ' nd 1 see *rlty.

Lore and more during the l*st legislative ye"r we called j,,on our n^tlJQ*1 aeabere - referred to aa our public Members - for aupport or opposition to a ecifie bills before Congress. The response was nost encouraging. In e^eh inat^nee we aent naterl^l so that our educ*tlon"l eaupaiga was carried on along with the 10blsl*tive wont# JUD H ^L^ilK, our monthly puhlle'tioa, is devoted to labor a*tters *nd toward the close of Congress we Mr. Tobin#2 November ai, 19 4 6.

gt;ve one issu9 over to report of bills for which we were < nd nd been working. Jever^l mem Trs irote s:id told us thit ^r<=in and again they use the material we send by bringing it to the attention of oth^r groups outside of the labor movement. It is this type of public relations work which we w-.nt to develop more "nd .ore. A.a you know the constructive work of the Unions only rarely gets a play in the press. Our League is determined to spread facts about labor troubles, and at the same time stress the constructive work of the labor movement. ^e constantly keep dding names to our mailing list and this month 100 new names of eople not connected with the labor movement have been placed on our list.

A number of our National Boerd members serve on Government committees where the voice of labor must be heard. Officers of our local Leagues h^ve memberships on caamittees concerned with problems of their respective communities.

Preliminary work for our Naticn*l Convention, which will convene in Jhshington -.ay 19, 1947 is under way. The Convention's Program Committee, charged with evaluating "11 phases of Le*-rue activity, presented its suggestions to the National Executive 3oard which met at the headquarters November 7th to 9th. The joard also adopted an ambitious legislative program for 1^7. Hustings h*ve conmeiced to co-isider legislation to ca,ie before the new Congress. Joo many important bills died in the la3t Congress - and we are aware w;.at lator will be u a ' inst in l'^47 Con ress.

I know ycu hsvs a f^ll understanding of "11 it t*kas to m*-ke an organization tick effectively. I have, t rrefore, omitted much detail, such as cod planning, etc. And now this ^etter c°es to you in the faith that all we are doing merits the tangible support of your brotherhood. Kindest r-iraris nd *lways ny le^) tr.anka. .

Mr. Daniel J. Tobin, General President International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America 223 East Michigan Street Indianapolis 4, Indiana

Dear Xr. Tobin:

Another year has passed and I cone to you again to ask for the renewal of the $500 contribution so ,generously given by your Inter- national Brotherhood in support of the League's work.

Ten months of Congress was a siege and never has there been better teamwork to press for legislation vital, not only to labor, but to the people of our nation. In response to requests for final action by Confess on legislation we had worked for or opposed, we have given a report in the November issue of LITE AND LA30R BULL-IT* which please find enclosed. *7e made some progress - but not enou^ considering the effort expended. "Statists", 'socialism", etc., was a convenient device for men in Congress, and for the opponents who are against the "welfare state" , even thou^ they are hard put to define it. In January, when the second session convenes, we will continue where we left off. It is most encouraging how many national waaen's organitationo ara actively supporting labor bills. This was notable in the opposition to Taft-Hartley and in support of social security and the minimum wage. Tfe can take sone credit for this as ambers of the Tomen's Joint Congressional Committee, com- posed of 18 national women's organisations.

Even though Congress went on and on, we had to give attention to another phase of our program - the annual local and rsgional conferences held in the late autumn and winter months. This called for cooperation in preparing the conference agenda for Leagues in four cities and State, and also to suggest speakers for the various topics. Te have also sur*eated improved methods aimed to stimulate questions and discussion from the floor. Delegates cannot possibly - 2 -

absorb all the information given by the speakers, hence the sugges- tion that some of our women become familiar with a given topic so as to be able to act as moderators, and to pick up points made by the speakers. I feel this will give those in attendance information which they may not otherwise get. Also, a conference will thereby take on greater educational significance. Now that labor is exer- cising its political arm we are urging women in our League and in our affiliated wonen's auxiliaries to men'B unions to take an active oart in the 1950 campaign. '7e need more friends. Statewide and on Capitol Hill.

Pauline Newman, member of our National Executive Board, ha* just returned frotd a three-month's assigiment with the U.S. Military Government in Germany and I am asking her to share her experience and some of her findings with the readers of LIFE nXD LABOR 3ULLETIN. Pauline, as you know, is a member of the International Ladies' garment Workers' Union and Director of Education in its Union Health Center.

I know I need not detail to you all it takes to keep the League on the move, because you aie familiar with that p. rt of an organization's work. Keed I add in closing that I have faith that you will renew your contribute regards.

Dear Mr. Tobin:

It is with deeoest thanks that I acknowledge receipt of your letter and the renewal of our generous contribution of $5 C. Whatever I nay say to you in exnressinr appreciation would fall far short of full measure, and so I say - a thousand thanks.

I an glad to send the enclosed list of labor organizations an* the amount e^ch contributes to our L^a ue. The list indicates contributions and affiliations or both. I had prepared this list for a subcoctnittee of our National Executive Board which met in New York Inst week. Perhans I should tell you that this committee urged me to secure more union contributions, because our activities are with and for the labor movement. I renorte.*. t*.at I had recently written to a dozen or more national unions who do not ncr givs financial suooort to the You will notice t:*at not all unions are so generous as is your International. I attribute this support to your understanding of our needs and of the work the Leagu* is doing. I can tell yyu, as our 30

Yith reference to the Machinists who are listed as an affiliate. Leninists have aade their contribution by low*, rent for our office space during all the years that the League headquarters have been in Washington. I should a * t.nt most of the l3cal unions listed responded to the letter sent by President green a fe* . ears ago unl have ren<*<9eaceacLh yeaye:ir in res or.t<. to 3y lett'r.

Dear Co-worker*: You will be Interested in knowing of our progress so far in depositing League records wnere they will be used - and uced wisely. First of all, we are happy to tell you that the Congressional Library (Manuscripts Division) has accepted the volumes of bound RECORDS of the League, and the Assistant Chief of the Division has told us that time are the beet-kept rocords the Library has received for some time L Ho wac particularly delighted with the fact that each volume is indexed - apparently teething not done in the ca3e of most records received. Three *taff members of tne hanuscriptR Division, including Mr. Young, the Assistant Chief, were in our office for several hours one day week before last and were so enthusias- tic about our material that they pushed the authorization through almost immediate- ly, and Mr. Young telephoned the Library!s acceptance la6t Friday. A formal document will be dra^n up in due couroe, to be signed by both the Library and the League. Other material the Library definitely will take includes the Verbatim Reports of all League Conventions; the Minv.tje of tho three moetings of the International Congress of forking Women, plua othor historical matorial relating thereto: and the original of the Seal of t.e National Woman's Trado Union League. Library representatives will come and pack up these thing& probably come day this week. To complete the bound record* of the Executive Board we will have to index and bind nine years of records. The records are assembled for each year but not indexed and in binders. This is an additional job - but the records should be complete to June 15, 1950.

Mrs. Stone wrote to the Roman's Archives of Radcliffe College and offered them the bound volumes of the "omen's Sections of the UNICN LABOR ADVOCATE 1906-11; the bound volumes of LIFE AND LABOR .
