Series II: CIO and Other Labor/Political Activities, 1933-1965
Scope and Content Note
Series II: CIO and Other Labor/Political Activities (1933-1965) is divided into two subseries. Subseries A: CIO Union and PAC Activities reflects a wide range of Council activity, in particular, Mills' interest, as a union representative, in health insurance. The series documents the emerging conflicts between national CIO policy and Council actions. The collection contains clippings which record the controversy over the Brophy letter and the Council's alleged interference with international unions' strike activities. Of special interest, too, are the Council's Executive Board Minutes, and the Council's Digest Minutes. Both sets of minutes are incomplete. Subseries B: Expulsion hearings contains a substantial amount of material documenting both the Council's defense and complains' charges. Besides the Hearing Committee's findings, and other official CIO documents, the subseries contains a virulent rebuttal by Michael Quill (one of the complainants), and a lengthy statement of defense by the Council.
