These clippings are arranged according to his original categorical markings, where possible. Where no markings are discernable, they have been artificially sorted into Lauck's categories or other appropriate topical divisions. They are arranged alphabetically by subject with dedicated, separate folders for subjects with large amounts of material. (Brackets [] denote subtopics or linked topics). Files chiefly consist of news clippings but occasionally there is other printed material or charts, etc.","Arranged alphabetically by last name of authors or speakers with subjects noted, if appropriate.","William Jett Lauck, an American economist and statistician, whose work expertise and experience was both broad and varied, was born on August 2, 1879, in Keyser, West Virginia, to William Blackford Lauck, a railway official, and Emma Eltinge (Spengler) Lauck. He attended Keyser High School and Washington and Lee University (Bachelor of Arts, 1903), becoming a Fellow in the department of political economy at the University of Chicago, 1903-1906. Lauck was an associate professor of economics and political science at Washington and Lee University, 1905-1908, until he entered government service in 1908. That same year, he was married to Eleanor Moore Dunlap of Lexington, Virginia, and they had three children, William Jett Lauck, Jr., Eleanor Moore Lauck and Peter Blackford Lauck. Lauck belonged to the Cosmos and Chevy Chase clubs and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Kappa Sigma, and Theta Nu Epsilon.","Lauck joining the United States Immigration Commission in 1908-1909, where he designed a survey of immigration for the Commission. Lauck was the chief examiner for the Tariff Board, 1910-1911. The U.S. Commission on Industrial Relations hired Lauck in 1913-1915 as a managerial expert and consulting statistician to design their investigation into industrial problems in the United States. He was an economic advisor on the Canadian Commission on Economic Development, 1916. Lauck joined the U.S. National War Labor Board in 1918 as Secretary. ","Lauck also took part in the national movement for banking reform and the establishment of the Federal Reserve banking system1911-1912. As an expert on railway economics, he represented the Brotherhoods of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers in their demands for wage increases during a series of arbitrations from 1912-1919, the Western freight weight case, 1915, and also represented the railroad unions in several high-profile national railroad arbitrations in the early twenties. Lauck functioned as the economic advisor for presidential candidate James B. Cox in 1920 and 1924. In 1926, Lauck devised a settlement to end the Passaic New Jersey textile strike. ","During a large part of his career, W. Jett Lauck acted as an economic advisor to John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers, the Committee on Industrial Organization, the United Automobile Workers and other union organizations, in arbitrations and cases, 1919-1939. He was an investigator for the U.S. Coal Commission, 1923 and economist for the Grain Marketing Company, Chicago, 1924-1925. Lauck assisted on the legislative drafting committee for the National Recovery Act in 1933 and as an expert advisor to the Senate Finance Committee on the revision of the National Recovery Act in 1935. He was also a member of various special boards, and a labor advisor to the Coal Section of the National Recovery Act, 1933-1935. He was also often a government expert witness, as seen in his work for the House of Representatives Special Committee on Government Competition with Private Business, 1933. Lauck served as Chairman of the Pennsylvania Anthracite Industry Coal Commission, 1937. ","Lauck was Vice President of the organization American Association for Economic Freedom. He was also an author or co-author of many books and other publications, including \"The Causes of the Panic of 1893\" (1905); \"The Immigration Problem\" with Johann Wolfgang Jenks (1911); \"Conditions of Labor in American Industries\" with Edgar Sydenstricker (1917); \"The Industrial Code\" with C.S. Watts (1923); Political and Industrial Democracy, 1776-1926\" (1926); and \"The New Industrial Revolution and Wages\" (1929) and Editor of \"British War Experience Series.\"","\"W. Jett Lauck: Biography of a Reformer\" by Carmen Brissette Grayson is a 1975 University of Virginia dissertation that covers the early part of Lauck's career up until the Depression.","\"The Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) was a federation of unions that organized workers in industrial unions in the United States and Canada from 1935 to 1955. Created in 1935 by John L. Lewis, who was a part of the United Mine Workers (UMW), it was originally called the Committee for Industrial Organization but changed its name in 1938 when it broke away from the American Federation of Labor.[1] It also changed names because it was not successful with organizing unskilled workers with the AFL.[2]","The CIO supported Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal Coalition, and was open to African Americans. Both the CIO and its rival the AFL grew rapidly during the Great Depression. The rivalry for dominance was bitter and sometimes violent. The CIO (Congress for Industrial Organization) was founded on November 9, 1935, by eight international unions belonging to the American Federation of Labor.","In its statement of purpose, the CIO said it had formed to encourage the AFL to organize workers in mass production industries along industrial union lines. The CIO failed to change AFL policy from within. On September 10, 1936, the AFL suspended all 10 CIO unions (two more had joined in the previous year). In 1938, these unions formed the Congress of Industrial Organizations as a rival labor federation. The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 required union leaders to swear that they were not Communists. Many CIO leaders refused to obey that requirement, later found unconstitutional. In 1955, the CIO rejoined the AFL, forming the new entity known as the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO).\" This summary was taken directly from Wikipedia ","https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congress_of_Industrial_Organizations","The Wage Reduction Case was brought by William S. Carter, President of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, originally against the Atlanta, Birmingham, and Atlantic Railway Company, before the United States Railroad Labor Board, but it eventually became a much larger case involving other Brotherhoods and Unions concerning railroad workers and wages.","Timothy Shea was the Acting President of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen between 1919-1922 .","The Six Hour Day Case was also referred to as the 30 Hour Week in the press and in supporting materials. The work was undertaken by Lauck for David B. Robertson, President of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen.","This case was brought by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen demanding that a fireman (helper) be employed on all types of power used in railroad service for safety, including diesel and streamline trains.","The Railway Wage Reduction Case of 1938 was presented before the Emergency Board by W. Jett Lauck on behalf of the Railway Labor Executives' Association.","This case was a call for amendment to the Tariff Act of 1922. Lauck represented a group of domestic manufacturers, including the Glass Containers Association of America, in putting together an argument for an increase in tariffs on imported glass bottles. It is important to note that Lauck did not represent industry in opposition to labor. The Glass Bottles Blowers Association submitted a brief agreeing with the domestic manufacturers, —but only in opposition to foreign goods making American industry and labor obsolete.","The Grain Marketing Company was created to jointly market the product of three grain companies: Armour Grain Company, Rosenbaum Grain Corporation, and Rosenbaum Brothers. W. Jett Lauck served as Director of Appraisals for this venture, preparing a large report on the valuation of the Grain Marketing Company's properties. This report was reproduced in many, slightly altered formats for different purposes, people, and groups, and these variants are the subject of many folders in the case, which contain significant overlap.","The Agricultural Adjustment Administration implemented a new tax on paper towels. The reason given was that they competed with typical cotton towels. W. Jett Lauck advised the Paper Towel Manufacturers Association and prepared their case before the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and Congress.","Some 16,000 textile workers participated in the strike, centered in Passaic, New Jersey and initially organized as the \"United Front Committee\" by the Workers (Communist Party) before being transferred to the leadership of the American Federation of Labor. W. Jett Lauck served as a consulting economist to the strikers, chairman of the Plenary Committee (also known as The Citizens Committee or the Lauck Committee) representing the strikers and overseeing transition to the American Federation of Labor, economist for the National Committee for Passaic Relief and Defense, and member of the Temporary Committee for Establishment of American Standards of Life for Textile Workers, as well as participated in the case on the floor of the Senate and in Senate Committees.","This case was between the Franklin Division of the Franklin Typothetae of Chicago and a collection of unions, namely: the Chicago Typographical Union No. 16, Chicago Printing Pressmen's Union No. 3, Franklin Union No. 4, and Bookbinders' and Paper Cutters' Union No. 8 regarding a cut in wages. W. Jett Lauck represented the unions and prepared their case alongside Arthur Sturgis.","The Guffey-Snyder Act was officially known as the Bituminous Coal Conservation Act of 1935. This law was passed as part of the New Deal and created the Bituminous Coal Commission to set the price of coal. It was ruled unconstitutional and was replaced by the Guffey-Vinson Act in 1937.","Pujo Committe named after the chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee, Representative A. Pujo of Louisiana.","Eugene Meyer was Governor of the Federal Reserve Board and J.W. Pole was Comptroller of the Currency in 1932.","This committee was chaired by Congressman Joseph B. Shannon, (1867-1943), a Democrat from Kansas City, Missouri.","P.J. Morrin was the general president of the International Association of Bridge, Structural, and Iron Workers; Jett Lauck was the economic advisor for the same organization.","The original letters from Franklin D.

Jett Lauck were transferred to the UVA Special Collections William H. Taft papers on February 6, 2005.","Manuscript student assistants who worked on the W. Jett Lauck papers for at least one semester include Jacob M. Baker, Shannon Lee, Jacob T. Shaw, and Emily Shipman.","Only two copies of identical duplicates having no annotations were kept. Duplicates were compared and only two were kept of each unique document or publication. News clippings were only copied if used by Lauck in a case or arbitration, contained an article or other work by him, or information pertaining to his work and career. Others were sorted and arranged by topcs that he had written on the clipping; those with no obvious relevance were discarded. Ledgers and scrapbooks were rehoused in acid free cubic boxes or phase boxes created by the Preservation staff.","Originally the papers were organized with the help of a University of Virginia history seminar sometime between their transfer to Special Collections from the Law Library and 1973, producing a large paper finding aid consisting of the list of the file folder headings. Folders were replaced near the end of the 1990's but some folder headings were lost or corrupted. In 2018, the papers were re-organized into series based on several early indexes created by the office of W. Jett Lauck. Folder headings were corrected based on the indexes, the original paper finding aid, and Lauck's notations on the tops of his documents. Headings were altered on the folders when possible to match the finding aid but only some of the folders were replaced due to constraints of time and money.","Physical processing work was complicated by constant student assistant turn-over and the interruption of the Pandemic of 2020-2021, which prevented onsite work for almost six months and allowed only several onsite short stints per week the rest of the time. The finding aid is as accurate as these conditions have permitted but there may well be inconsistencies. If such errors are discovered, we welcome researcher input.","Most dockets were found together and left as a series. Occasionally dockets were found with their related papers. In those cases, the dockets remain in the their related individual series and were not moved to the Docket series. At this point it is impossible to be sure of the original order by W. Jett Lauck.","Most dockets were found together and left as a series. Occasionally dockets were found with their related papers.

Jett Lauck collection consists of his professional, business and personal papers as an economist, statistician and government consultant on immigration, banking, railroads, coal, and unemployment problems as well as other facets of labor in the United States. Included are correspondence, scrapbooks of news clippings reflecting his activities, labor reports and studies, drafts of congressional bills, legal briefs, and other material concerning labor problems in the United States from its formative World War I years until 1949. They begin with his association with the progressive labor codes of the Taft-Walsh Labor Relations Commission and continue with the Railway Labor Act of 1926; the fight to gain recognition of labor's right to collective bargaining \"through representatives of their own choosing\" under the National Industrial Recovery Act in 1933; the incorporation of its principles in the National Labor Relations Act; and further activity in defense of this act.","Other manuscripts deal with studies of government competition with private business, the American Association for Economic Freedom, the New York Power Authority; branch, chain, and group banking, drafts of speeches, and work diary accounts of activities and meetings with prominent congressional and labor leaders on labor problems and legislation.","The largest portions of the W.
