194043221Fairfield: S.W.O.C. District No. 3 1940. First Edition. Mimeographed side-stapled sheets 11" x 8-1/2"; 6pp; printed recto-only. Text toned with chips to extremities; but of rust to staples; Good and sound. Ink signature of a "Dolph Mosley / Fairfield" to front cover. Report to the second annual convention of the S.W.O.C. documenting the union's successes in the southern states during its first year of existence and as well as union-busting activities which as might be imagined were rampant throughout the south during this period especially against a C.I.O.-affiliated union with a reputation for radicalism and a racial integration. A locus of anti-labor sentiment appears to have been the industrial community of Gadsden Alabama where the authors document numerous instances of direct threats against steelworkers including some that were racially motivated. Rare; as in our experience is most southern steelworkers material from this period. S.W.O.C. District No. 3 unknown books
