Gregory, Chair Moon-Ho Jung Ileana Rodriguez Silva Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of History ii University of Washington Abstract Laboring for the Day: The Pacific Coast and the Casual Labor Economy, 1919-1933 Alexander James Morrow Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor James Gregory Department of History This dissertation explores the economic and cultural (re)definition of labor and laborers. It traces the growing reliance upon contingent work as the foundation for industrial capitalism along the Pacific Coast; the shaping of urban space according to the demands of workers and capital; the formation of a working class subject through the discourse and social practices of both laborers and intellectuals; and workers’ struggles to improve their circumstances in the face of coercive and onerous conditions. Woven together, these strands reveal the consequences of a regional economy built upon contingent and migratory forms of labor. This workforce was hardly new to the American West, but the Pacific Coast’s reliance upon contingent labor reached its apogee after World War I, drawing hundreds of thousands of young men through far flung circuits of migration that stretched across the Pacific and into Latin America, transforming its largest urban centers and working class demography in the process. The presence of this substantial workforce (itinerant, unattached, and racially heterogeneous) was out step with the expectations of the modern American worker (stable, married, and white), and became the warrant for social investigators, employers, the state, and other workers to sharpen the lines of solidarity and exclusion.

  • Social Bonds, Sexual Politics, and Political Community on the U.S. Left, 1920S-1940S' Kathleen A
    Social Bonds, Sexual Politics, and Political Community on the U.S. Left, 1920s-1940s' Kathleen A. Brown and Elizabeth Faue William Armistead Nelson Collier, a sometime anarchist and poet, self- professed free lover and political revolutionary, inhabited a world on the "lunatic fringe" of the American Left. Between the years 1908 and 1948, he traversed the legitimate and illegitimate boundaries of American radicalism. After escaping commitment to an asylum, Collier lived in several cooperative colonies - Upton Sinclair's Helicon Hall, the Single Tax Colony in Fairhope, Alabama, and April Farm in Pennsylvania. He married (three times legally) andor had sexual relationships with a number of radical women, and traveled the United States and Europe as the Johnny Appleseed of Non-Monogamy. After years of dabbling in anarchism and communism, Collier came to understand himself as a radical individualist. He sought social justice for the proletariat more in the realm of spiritual and sexual life than in material struggle.* Bearded, crude, abrupt and fractious, Collier was hardly the model of twentieth century American radicalism. His lover, Francoise Delisle, later wrote of him, "The most smarting discovery .. was that he was only a dilettante, who remained on the outskirts of the left wing movement, an idler and loafer, flirting with it, in search of amorous affairs, and contributing nothing of value, not even a hard day's work."3 Most historians of the 20th century Left would share Delisle's disdain. Seeking to change society by changing the intimate relations on which it was built, Collier was a compatriot, they would argue, not of William Z.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: from the BELLY of the HUAC: the RED PROBES of HOLLYWOOD, 1947-1952 Jack D. Meeks, Doctor of Philos
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE BELLY OF THE HUAC: THE RED PROBES OF HOLLYWOOD, 1947-1952 Jack D. Meeks, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Directed By: Dr. Maurine Beasley, Journalism The House Un-American Activities Committee, popularly known as the HUAC, conducted two investigations of the movie industry, in 1947 and again in 1951-1952. The goal was to determine the extent of communist infiltration in Hollywood and whether communist propaganda had made it into American movies. The spotlight that the HUAC shone on Tinsel Town led to the blacklisting of approximately 300 Hollywood professionals. This, along with the HUAC’s insistence that witnesses testifying under oath identify others that they knew to be communists, contributed to the Committee’s notoriety. Until now, historians have concentrated on offering accounts of the HUAC’s practice of naming names, its scrutiny of movies for propaganda, and its intervention in Hollywood union disputes. The HUAC’s sealed files were first opened to scholars in 2001. This study is the first to draw extensively on these newly available documents in an effort to reevaluate the HUAC’s Hollywood probes. This study assesses four areas in which the new evidence indicates significant, fresh findings. First, a detailed analysis of the Committee’s investigatory methods reveals that most of the HUAC’s information came from a careful, on-going analysis of the communist press, rather than techniques such as surveillance, wiretaps and other cloak and dagger activities. Second, the evidence shows the crucial role played by two brothers, both German communists living as refugees in America during World War II, in motivating the Committee to launch its first Hollywood probe.

  • Brookwood Labor College Records
    , , , ! THE BROOKWOOD LABOR COLLEGE COLLECTION Papers, 1921-1937 49 linear feet Accession number 567 The papers of the Brookwood Labor College were placed in the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs in September, 1972, by Mark and Helen Starr. The Brookwood Labor College was a co-educational resident workers' institution situated at Katonah, New York, some forty-one miles from New York City. Founded in 1921, it was the outgrowth of a labor conference held on March 3l-April 1 of that year. Its policy called for a pro­ gressive, non-factional education for workers as it sought to play an increasing role in the task of building a militant, intelligent, powerful labor movement. Its curriculum focused on the study, analysis, and dis­ , cussion of the philosophy and policies of labor organizations in the United States and the world, including the American Federation of Labor. I Within a few years after it was established, Brookwood was officially ! I, endorsed or financially supported by thirteen national and international , unions including the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, the American Federa­ , I, tion of Teachers, and the United Textile Workers. In 1928 a rift , developed between the AFL and Brookwood which led to the withdrawal of support by the AFL-affiliated unions. In 1930 Brookwood set up an extension department in respona,e to an increasing demand for lectures and courses outside of Brookwood. Earlier, Brook- wood had started a program of summer institutes dealing with various labor problems. In 1933 Brookwood weathered a faculty conflict concerning its policy of non-factional labor education and continued on until 1937 when it closed its doors due to a lack of funds.

At the outset it is important to note the restrictions which must neces- sarily govern the use of this Report. The writer faced the choice between a more general study which might be used extensively, and a detailed analy- sis which names names. The latter alternative was chosen as being the more j valuable to the sponsors of the survey. Accordingly, instead of confin- ing the reporting to material which is generally available to the public, the author used accurate but confidential sources. The usefulness of these * sources would cease if their names and positions were revealed. This is particularly true i»^en__the ultimate source is a well-placed member of the Communist Party. " " " !—• ----- ' • ,1 Because of the accuracy of the sources, it is often possible to 1/ name definitely as Communists individuals who would publicly deny their jj affiliation. The publication of such names would certainly lead to a challenge to produce proof and possibly to a libel suit.

  • CIO Executive Board Minutes
    CIO EXECUTIVE BOARD MINUTES CIO EXECUTIVE BOARD MINUTES Microfilm Minutes and Proceedings, 1938-1955 6 Microfilm Reels Accession Number 751 The Minutes of the Executive Board Meetings of the Congress of Industrial Organizations were received by the Archives of Labor History and Urban Affairs in February of 1976 for microfilming. The bound volumes remain in the possession of the International Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers, who allowed the Archives to film this collection. The microfilm copy was opened for research in The material consists of both minutes and proceedings of the CIO Executive Board from the first meeting in 1938 to the last meeting held prior to affiliation with the American Federation of Labor in 1955. The minutes are short abbreviated accounts of decisions and acts and range from 1938 to 1942. The proceedings are verbatim accounts of discussions, with the full texts of reports and resolutions. The proceedings cover from 1939 to 1955; several meetings are reported in both forms. There are no minutes or proceedings in this collection for 1946 or 1949. The minutes and proceedings reflect the concern of organized labor not only with union politics, organization, and finances but also with the effects of domestic and international events and policies on the American worker. This concern is mani-fested_in lengthy discussions on a wide- ranging variety of political, social, economic, legislative, and military issues of the times. In addition to tracing the development of CIO policies on these issues, the proceedings convey a very strong sense of the personalities of the individual labor leaders connected with the Congress of Industrial Organizations.
