Item description from seller

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.
