Series I: General Files, 1936-1961, inclusive
Scope and Content Note
Series I includes Forge's personal and official correspondence, TWU Executive Board minutes, trial transcripts, leaflets and ATD reports. Documents reflect Forge's activity in the TWU, especially from the late 1940s, when he came into conflict with TWU officials. Also in this series are materials reflecting Forge's involvement in the creation and development of the ATD and CATA. Correspondence includes letters to his wife, Bess, letters from TWU president Michael Quill and former TWU official John Santo after Santo's deportation to Hungary for being a non-citizen Communist Party activist; and letters with Charles Smolikoff, Armand Scala, and Fred Swick of the TWU about the progress of forming the ATD. Also included is a 1947 transcript of Santo's Department of Immigration trial, as well as a transcript of 1950 proceedings against Forge by the TWU.
