UAW Secretary-Treasurer's Office: George Addes Records THE GEORGE F. ADDES - UAW SECRETARY-TREASURER COLLECTION Papers, 1936-1953 (Predominantly, 1938-1947) 651/2 linear feet Accession Number 52A L.C. Number MS71-619 The papers of George F. Addes were placed in the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs in 1963 and 1967 in two installments corresponding to Parts I and 2 of this collection. Part 1 was opened for research in 1964 and Part 2 in 1968. This finding aid was revised in 1980. Included in this collection are some papers dated after 1947 which relate to the tenure of Addes' successor, Emil Mazey. George F. Addes was born August 26, 1910 in Toledo, Ohio and grew up there except for a few years his family spent in Flint, Michigan. He was educated in Catholic schools. Later, after he had become active in the labor movement, he attended Wayne University Law School and took other courses related to his work. From the outset of his employment at the Willys-Overland plant in Toledo Addes was involved in the developing movement to organize automobile workers, and he became secretary-treasurer of the Toledo local. When, in 1936, the UAW severed its AFL affiliation and joined the CIO, Addes was elected secretary-treaurer of the union. He held this post, except for a short interval in 1938, until 1947. He served on the International Executive Board, the CIO Coordinating Committee, the CIO Political Action Committee, and served as a special labor mediator for the National War Labor Board. As secretary-treaurer Addes instituted advanced bookkeeping procedures in an effort to make the UAW completely accountable to its members. He was active as an organizer, strike leader, and speaker, and he played a leading role in the first decade of the UAW's history. He retired from the UAW after his reelection defeat in 1947 and ultimately became a district sales manager for the Ford Motor Company. He is married to the former Victoria Joseph. He is now retired and resides in Detroit, Michigan. George Addes 2 Important subjects covered in the collection are: (See also the subject index at the end of this guide).

  • Our Union Fabriks: Studies in the Working Class Series Editors: Ingo Schmidt and Jeff Taylor
    Our Union Fabriks: Studies in the Working Class Series editors: Ingo Schmidt and Jeff Taylor Capital is dead labor. Karl Marx Fabriks: Studies in the Working Class provides a broad-based forum for labour studies research. Of particular interest are works that challenge familiar national and institutional narratives, focusing instead on gender-based, occupational, racial, and regional divisions among workers and on strategies for fostering working-class solidarity. The series also seeks to resurrect both social class analysis and the view of labour movements as a potentially liberating social force. It invites contributions not only from labour historians but from indus- trial relations scholars, political scientists, economists, sociologists and social movement theorists, and anyone else whose concerns lie with the history and organization of labour, its philosophical underpinnings, and the struggle for economic and social justice.

The men quickly formed into squads and rushed into cars for the "night ride". Two of the cars, in advance of the others, reached a dark, lonely spot on Dix Road on the outskirts of Detroit. The other cars were apparently delayed by the opening of the River Rouge bridge. Seven occupants of the cars jumped out and went into a huddle. They spoke in low tones and repeatedly turned to look back on the road to see if other cars were coming. Their special concern was a car with black robes, hoods and rope required for a "necktie party". For that is what it was to be. "Well, I guess they must have got lost", said "Colonel" Harvey Davis, a tall, lanky, rat-faced creature. Then, turning to a short, stocky member of the party, he commanded: "Dean, get Poole out." Dean instantly drew two revolvers and stepped toward one of the cars. "Poole, come out of that car!" he said.

  • "Under the Star of the Guard" 1*13
    "UNDER THE STAR OF THE GUARD" The Story of the Black Legion Mark S. English 1*13 Preface The Ku Klux Klan and the Black Legion, two super-patriotic fraternal organizations, had cyclical success during the years 1865-1938. The K.K.K. dates back to sometime between Christmas 1865 and June, 1866 when it began as a small group of defeated Confederate soldiers in south central Tennessee. It eventually grew into a national organization that is active today. The Black Legion was a spin-off of the K.K.K. and was active from 1924 or 1925 to 1938, primarily in Ohio and Michigan. The organizations had similarities and differences. One overriding theme was that both were secret societies that believed in the preservation of nativism, as both groups were against anyone who was not native-born, Protestant, and with white Anglo-Saxon ancestry. Some differences between the two groups were in their recruitment tactics, monetary goals of their leaders, and the severity of violence used to carry out their agendas. The first two chapters of this thesis provide an overview of the Ku Klux Klan. The remaining chapters focus on the rise and fall of the Black Legion. It is my sincere hope that this thesis may shed some light upon the American myth of equality for every citizen, regardless of race, color, gender, or creed. 2 Chapter One "JUST HAVIN' SOME FUN" Southern chivalry and the ante-bellum way of life had suffered through the turbulent years of the Civil War. The defeat of the Confederacy in 1865 was followed by Radical Reconstruction.

  • Maurice Sugar Papers
    THE MAURICE SUGAR COLLECTION Papers, 1907-1973 58 1/2 Linear Feet Accession Number 232 Maurice Sugar was one of the first American lawyers to become what is now known as a "Labor Lawyer." Before he was made Chief Legal Counsel of the United Automobile Workers, a post he held between 1937 and 1948, he had practiced as a labor lawyer and defender of the poor since 1914. Born in Brimley, Michigan in 1891, he was educated in the Detroit school system. He graduated from the University of Michigan Law School where he was Editor of the Michigan Law Review. In 1914 he and Jane Mayer were married. She later became Supervisor of Elementary School Physical Education for the City of Detroit. Sugar's first client in 1914 was the Detroit Typographical Union (AFL), and before his work with the UAW he represented nearly all Detroit area unions including the Detroit and Wayne County Federations of Labor (AFL) and various AFL international unions. During the Tool and Die Makers Strike of 1913 he handled over two-hundred cases in the courts. During World War I Sugar was indicted and convicted in a conspiracy trial (1917-1918), as he was a pacifist, but he was subsequently readmitted to the bar and pardoned. Active during his youth in the Socialist Party he later became an important spokesman for what were then considered "left wing" causes, including civil rights and racial equality. He was one of the founders of the National Lawyers Guild and an early advocate of pensions, unemployment compensation, social security and other such measures.
