MATTHEW WOLL DIES AT 76., LINK WITH GOMPERS GONE (CFLNL) SAN FRANCISCO.--Matthew Woll, close associate of SaMuel Gompers and vice president of the American Federation of Labor for 36 years, diec last Saturday in New York. He was 76. At the time of his death, Brother Woll was a member of the executive committee of the merged AFL-CIO and also a vice presi- dent of the merged federation. He had held top union offices for more than 50 years. AFL-CIO President George Meany said in a formal statement of sympathy: "The entire labor movement will mourn the passing of Matthew Woll. He served the cause of the nation's workers with constant faith, courage and sound Judgment for half a century. "Irmbibing his knowledge of trade unionism from Sam Gompers, Matthew Woll throughout his brilliant career re- mained true to the principle of the founders of the labor movement. He believed wholeheartedly in labor-management cooperation. Labor has lost a great leader." Born in Luxembourg, Woll came to America at 10. He became an apprentice photo engraver at 16, He was admitted to the prac- tice of law in Illinois in 1904 and in the same year was elected president of the AFL International Photo Engravers Union, a post he held for nearly half a century, In 1923, President Gompers appointed Woll to a special com- -mittee to study and improve death benefits provided by affilia- -ted unions. Out of this activity grew Woll's connection with the Union Labor Life Insurance Company, set up by the AFL in 1925. Woll was president of the insurance company for 30 years, resigniag. last year to become the firm's general executive chair- man. Woll was senior lieutenant to Gompers, Green, and Meany dur- Ing his long membership on the AFL executive council.. Regarded as the architect of the AFL foreign policy program, be- was chairman of the AFL Free Trade Union Committee prior to California State Federation of Labor WEEKLY NEWS LETTER,, June 8,, 1956 Page 3 the merger, and since then had served as co-chairman of the AFL- CIO Committee on International Affairs.

A Requiem Mass was offered for the deceased this Tuesday in St. Matthew's Catholic Cathedral, Washington, D. C. Burial followed at Fort Lincoln Cemetery in the national capital. GOP HURRIEDLY DROPS CHOTINER (CFLNL) SAN FRANCISCO.--Murray M. Chotiner, close associate of Vice President Nixon and mouthpiece for reported hoodlum ele- ments in New Jersey, will not be a part of the GOP presidential campaign this year, it was claimed this week by Ieonard W, Hall, chairman of the Republican National Committee. Chotiner, a Los Angeles lawyer, has been recently accused of using White House influence in behalf of clients. He was a leading figure in the GOP presidential campaign of 1952. President Eisenhower has whitewashed his aides of wrong-doing in the Chotiner "influence case," which is still being investiga- ted by the Senate Investigations Subcommittee. National columnist Drew Pearson has charged that Chotiner was tightly connected with the late Marco Reginelli, who last year beat a deportation drive launched against him by the Truman Administration. Pearson claimed Reginelli was a top mobster in New Jersey and won clearance in the Eisenhower Administration despite a long criminal record. * * * PLAN NOW FOR 1956 STATE FEDERATION CONVENTION LONG BEACH - AUGUST 13-17 California State Federation of Labor WEEKLY NEWS LETTER, June 8 1956 Page 4.

    Why ‘Europe First’? The Cultural, Economic and Ideological Underpinnings of America’s ‘Europe First’ Strategy, 1940-1941 “That those threats to the American way of life and to the interests of the United States in Europe, Latin America and the Far East – against which threats the huge new defence program of this country is directed – all stem, in the last analysis from the power of Nazi Germany.”1 “The Atlantic world, unless it destroys itself, will remain infinitely superior in vigor and inventive power to the too prolific and not too well-nourished Orientals.”2 “Since Germany is the predominant member of the Axis Powers, the Atlantic and European area is considered to be the decisive theatre. The principal United States Military effort will be exerted in that theatre.”3 Nearly seventy years have passed since the Roosevelt administration tacitly accepted the 'Europe First' policy as the controlling element of American grand strategy in the Second World War. Three generations of historians have traced the genesis and evolution of “the most important strategic concept of the war”.4 Most of the scholarship centres on how the official documents and reports shaped American strategic policy. We know that American war planning began before the US was actively engaged in battle and that the Navy had a prominent voice in matters of strategy. We know that President Franklin D.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: a HISTORY of THE
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: A HISTORY OF THE INTERNATIONAL LABOR COMMUNICATIONS ASSOCIATION Matthew C. Bates, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation directed by: Professor Linda Steiner Philip Merrill College of Journalism Keywords: labor, unions, press, media, journalism, International Labor Press Association, ILCA, ILPA, AFL-CIO, social movements This dissertation examines post-World War II debates within U.S. unions over the role and character of the labor press. I use archival sources and interviews to construct a history of the International Labor Communications Association (ILCA). The AFL-CIO created the ILCA (originally, the International Labor Press Association) in 1956 to strengthen communications with union members and the public. Representing hundreds of publications, the ILCA remains the only national organization of journalists working on behalf of U.S. unions. The debates over the role and character of union media are put in the context of social movement and organization theory. Like most modern social movements, organized labor exists as both a set of bureaucratic institutions and as diffuse agglomerations of individuals struggling against dominant social actors. Policies and practices that prioritize the needs of union organizations and leaders (i.e. tendencies towards “business unionism”) frequently conflict with the needs and impulses of rank-and-file workers (“social movement unionism”). The debates I examine—a campaign in the 1960s to win AFL-CIO support for community-based labor newspapers; divisions among union editors and leaders in the 1980s and 1990s over the use of electronic technologies for national public relations instead of local campaigns; a dispute in the late 1990s over editorial freedom for union journalists—express the underlying tensions between business and social-movement unionism.

  • The Birth of American Alcohol Control: Prohibition, the Power Elite, and the Problem of Lawlessness
    Harry G. Levine "The Birth of American Alcohol Control: Prohibition, the Power Elite and the Problem of Lawlessness" Contemporary Drug Problems, Spring, 1985: pp. 63-115. The Birth Of American Alcohol Control: Prohibition, the Power Elite, and the Problem of Lawlessness Harry G. Levine Department of Sociology Queens College and The Graduate Center City University of New York Preface The first two decades of the twentieth century in the United States are commonly referred to as the Progressive era. The name derives, in part, from a political perspective shared by much of the new professional middle class, the old entrepreneurial and small-business middle class, and the new, growing corporate elite. Progressivism declared that local, state, and federal governments should regulate, control, and administer economic and social activity so as to make new, industrial, twentieth-century America a more economically prosperous, healthy, and orderly nation. Progressivism signaled the end of laissez-faire as the dominant political vision of American government. In the early twentieth century, reformers concerned with what the nineteenth century had called the “liquor problem” developed two political and policy programs in accordance with progressivist principles. The first and triumphant approach was prohibitionism. The nineteenth- century temperance movement, which Progressive-era prohibitionism replaced, had been a broad and assimilationist movement to get people to give up alcohol and stay off it. The Progressive era prohibitionists created a single-issue campaign to pass laws restricting or eliminating the production and sale of alcoholic beverages. Prohibitionists argued that the new needs and conditions of twentieth-century industrial society – efficiency, rationality, order, and progress – required totally banning alcoholic drink.
