Series I

State Federations, 1922-1967

Boxes 1-15

These files are from the National Office. Correspondence, pamphlets, programs, lawsuits, legislation, and salary information are contained in this part of the collection. Much of the correspondence in Series I deals with various aspects of the locals and their relations to the state and national organizations. Another major topic is that of union organizing. (Organization as a topic is dealt with in the index only when it is the title of something, and the correspondence is not indexed for this topic.) This series is arranged alphabetically by state. Within each state the correspondence is arranged chronologically. The subjects are arranged alphabetically, with the materials arranged chronologically within the folder.
