1937234461937. Labor Organization Chrysler strike press photo archive documenting the 1937 sit down strikes and picketing campaigns at Dodge Main and other Chrysler facilities in Detroit and Highland Park Michigan during the decisive phase of industrial unionization in the American automobile industry. The archive records workers occupying plants mass picket mobilizations outside factory gates anti injunction demonstrations and violence connected to the struggle between Chrysler management the United Automobile Workers and competing independent unions. These events unfolded only weeks after the February 1937 settlement of the Flint sit down strike against General Motors which established the UAW as a major industrial union and accelerated organizing efforts across Detroit's auto plants. Chrysler initially resisted recognition obtaining court injunctions ordering workers to evacuate occupied factories while thousands of laborers remained inside the plants or formed flying squadrons to block strikebreakers from entering. The scenes here capture the atmosphere of confrontation in Depression era industrial labor conflict at a time when mass production workers forced some of the largest corporations in the United States to negotiate with organized labor.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 6 silver gelatin press photographs from 6 x 8 inches to 8 x 10 inches Detroit and Highland Park Michigan 1937. Affixed captions on versos with filing stamps dated March and August 1937. Crowds of striking workers gather outside Dodge Division and Chrysler factory gates beneath signs reading "Dodge Division of Chrysler Corporation Employment Office" and "We Are Here To Stay Dept. 82." Several men hold placards reading "82 is Sittin Too" "Spirit of 1937" and "Fence Jumper" while an effigy labeled "Injunction" hangs over the crowd in open defiance of a court order directing workers to vacate occupied plants. A large calendar board records the passing days of the sit down occupation beginning March 8 1937. Another scene shows relatives and supporters communicating with occupying workers through numbered department cards hung along the perimeter fence after union organizers established an improvised locating system for men inside the plant. One caption identifies "flying squadrons" directing picket activity outside Chrysler headquarters. The latest photograph records Frank A. Dillon identified as president of an independent Chrysler union receiving questioning from Detective Sergeant Harry Scher after an alleged beating connected to union violence that led Chrysler officials to temporarily close a plant pending investigation.<br /> <br /> The Chrysler strike formed part of the larger wave of industrial labor upheaval that reshaped American manufacturing during the New Deal. Passage of the Wagner Act in 1935 legally protected collective bargaining but enforcement depended on workers physically preventing corporations from continuing production with replacement labor. Sit down strikes became one of the most controversial tactics of the era because occupying workers halted machinery while denying employers access to their own factories. The archive preserves not only the mechanics of strike organization but also the public theater of industrial conflict in Depression era Detroit: marching pickets improvised communication systems anti injunction symbolism and massive worker assemblies outside factory gates. Moderate surface wear occasional creasing editorial markings and toning to versos with captions firmly affixed; images remain sharp and highly legible. Overall very good condition. unknown

1960232971960. Labor OrganizingIndustry General Electric strike photo archive documenting the 1960 IUE Local 201 strike at the GE River Works plant in Lynn Massachusetts press photographs of workers and labor organizers resisting GE's take-it-or-leave-it bargaining practice at the factory gate. These images record the early days of the national IUE walkout. In the Fall of 1960 contract demands over wages cost of living protection and job security stalled when General Electric refused to bargain on terms acceptable to the union a move later condemned in federal litigation over the company's duty to bargain in good faith. Formal negotiations ran through 45 meetings from July into October 1960. The strike lasted three weeks and the dispute resulted in charges over unfair labor practice that became part of the major legal and labor history of "Boulwarism" GE's long campaign to dictate contract terms while exploiting division among the unions organized in its plants. <br /> Photo archive of 20 large silver gelatin press photographs measuring between 7 x 8 and 8 x 10 inches Lynn Massachusetts September-October 1960. The images show dense exterior picket scenes outside the GE plant with men and women carrying tall placards reading "LOCAL 201 IUE AFL CIO ON STRIKE" police officers linking arms and shoving crowds back from arriving automobiles and knotting lines of workers pressed against car hoods and fenders as management and police attempt to force entry through the picket. Several photographs isolate the mechanics of the strike itself: a car with rooftop loudspeaker positioned near the line an indoor union meeting beneath a huge banner attacking company leadership women pickets pointing and shouting across a fence line and a man stooping to gather tacks scattered across pavement with the caption explaining that picketers left tacks and nails at plant entrances to puncture the tires of management and scabs. One typescript caption reads "POLICE PUSH STRIKERS BACK" and states that officers acted "to clear way for cars entering or leaving the plant" while another notes that "A nationwide strike was called by the union Saturday at midnight." Additional versos carry date stamps for October 4 and 5 1960 typed caption slips and handwritten identifications such as "Mass. Lynn strikes G.E. Co." fixing the archive firmly within the first phase of the strike.<br /> Lynn held an important place in GE labor history well before 1960. Plant workers had challenged company control since the 1930s; by the postwar period the city had become one of the clearest sites where GE tested union-busting methods. This strike did not defeat GE on its own and the settlement came largely on company terms but resulting litigation condemning GE unfair bargaining practices became central to American labor organizing. The 1960 conflict thus stands as a precursor to the broader interunion coordination that emerged later in the decade and culminated in the national GE strike of 1969 to 1970 when unions finally forced a real challenge to Boulwarism. Scattered staining creasing and minor chipping at margins; most prints captioned on verso; overall good to very good condition. Primary source documentation of one of the country's most consequential corporate labor battlegrounds preserving the ground level struggle through which workers tested the limits of industrial union power in mid-century America. unknown

"Wherever I happened to be" wrote Paul Strand "I sought the signs of a long partnership that give each place its special quality and create the profiles of its people. . . . " In 1953 the renowned American photographer Paul Strand who was then living in France suggested to Italian screenwriter Cesare Zavattini that they do a book together about a small town in Italy a town that would reveal the spirit of a people. Strand asked Zavattini to choose a village with the elusive "special quality" he sought. Zavattini knew just such a village: his own birthplace of Luzzara in the Po Valley. The collaboration of these two remarkable artists resulted in the classic book Un Paese. Published in Italian in 1955 Un Paese captures in photographs and in spoken testimony the essential experience of daily life in Luzzara. It presents a series of intense portraits graceful landscapes and images of everyday objects. Paul Strand's photographs are carefully distilled deeply powerful; they contain the flavors and the rhythms of an entire culture crystallized in a single village. Zavattini successfully synthesizes text and image aligning with the new cinematic trend of the day a movement known as Italian neorealism. Their Luzzara is an ordinary village neither overly picturesque nor greatly unusual yet it is a town sustained by a grounded humanity and a profound love for the land by its people. ; Italian Edition; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 105 pages .

19611904New York: New York Committee for the General Strike for Peace 1961-1963. <br /><br />A collection of nine rare leaflets and letters concerning the General Strike for Peace which in the early 1960s sought a ban on the testing of nuclear weapons as well as global disarmament. This material belonged to Jackson Mac Low 1922-2004 poet performance artist and peace activist.<br /><br />Eight of these items were issued by the New York Committee for the General Strike for Peace for which Mac Low was one of the organizers. Julian Beck and Judith Malina of the Living Theatre were also organizers. The collection also includes a letter from the Committee for Nonviolent Action. <br /><br />The General Strike for Peace consisted of three different phases the first of which took place in early 1962 followed by additional calls to strike in November 1962 and then again in May 1963. <br /><br />On January 29 1962 more than 300 people marched down Fifth Avenue in New York calling for a worldwide general strike for peace. The New York Times was there: "The demonstrators' appearance ranged from button-down to beatnik with the latter somewhat more conspicuous in the heart of the fashionable shopping district. Pete Seeger and Gil Turner folk singers strummed songs against war and against civil defense." The New York Times January 30 1962 page 3.<br /><br />This collection includes material from each of the three phases of the General Strike for Peace. All appear to be photomechanically reproduced including the letters:<br /><br />--Three leaflets calling for a general strike from January 29 to February 4 1962. Two of these leaflets are identical titled general strike while a third titled general strike for peace appears to be an updated version with a fuller list of members on the Action Committee as well as the addition of International Sponsors. Each is a single sheet folded to create 4 pages measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches when folded.<br /><br />--A Dear friend letter from the Committee for Nonviolent Action expressing sympathy for the General Strike but saying that the Committee could not undertake organizationally to work on this project. Single sheet measuring 11 x 8 1/2 inches.<br /><br />--A leaflet This is the SECOND CALL for a WORLD WIDE GENERAL STRIKE FOR PEACE set for November 5 to November 11 1962. Single sheet folded to create 4 pages measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches when folded.<br /><br />--A Dear Friend letter from the New York Committee explaining the second call. The letter is signed by Donn Reed who was an antiwar activist. Stapled to the letter is a leaflet with the same text as the example listed immediately above although in a different color. Letter: Single sheet measuring 11 x 8 1/2 inches. Leaflet: Single sheet folded to create 4 pages measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches when folded.<br /><br />--A leaflet general strike announcing a worldwide general strike for peace for May 8 1963. Single sheet folded to create 4 pages measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches when folded.<br /><br />--A leaflet crisis strike seeking support for an emergency general strike for peace in times of crisis. Undated. Printed recto only. Single sheet measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches.<br /><br />Provenance: From the collection of poet composer and performance artist Jackson Mac Low one of the organizers of the New York Committee. <br /><br />This material is rare. OCLC shows only one institutional holding at Northwestern for "This is the SECOND CALL." of 1962. The University of Kansas holds a copy of "general strike" of 1963. We assume there are other examples held by institutions probably in ephemera collections that have not been fully catalogued.<br /><br />A rare collection of General Strike material formerly owned by one of the organizers of the New York Committee the poet and performance artist Jackson Mac Low. <br /><br />CONDITION: Some modest creasing and soiling. Overall Very Good or better copies. New York Committee for the General Strike for Peace books
