New York (State) -- New York","Ledgers (account books)","Benjamin Kissam (1728 – 1782) was a prominent lawyer in New York City who trained prospective lawyers in his office on Golden Hill. From 1764 until 1768, one of his clerks was John Jay, who grew to admire and love his mentor. Kissam's wife was Catherine Rutgers, whose family owned a large amount of land in New York, and his brother Daniel was a judge in the Court of Common Pleas in Jamaica, New York. For a time, Benjamin was primarily responsible for the support of his younger brother Sammy, perhaps the Samuel Kissam who became a doctor and friend of Jay. Benjamin Kissam died in 1782.","These manuscript volumes reveal a great deal about Benjamin Kissam's practice, and provide a window on the legal world in New York City on the eve of the American Revolution. The ledger was kept from 1755 to 1776, and contains accounts of clients, both individual and corporate, relatives, servants, and other lawyers. Although there is no mention of John Jay, this ledger was in use during the period of Jay's clerkship with Kissam. His clients ranged across the social spectrum, and he sometimes noted their places of residence or occupations. Since he kept thorough and detailed records for these accounts, the great number of blanks on the credit side suggests that many of them were never settled. Occasionally, he noted that he would never be paid for a certain account. In transactions involving family members and employees, he kept careful records of money spent or advanced and funds repaid.","Under the name of James Duane, another prominent lawyer and later federal judge, Kissam wrote: \"N.B. Mr. Duane Composes Judgments for me and lets me take the fees to my own Use, and I the same to him, therefore the articles charged on the other side for Judgmts. composed by me are not to be charged to him.\" (p. 51).","Kissam represented the proprietors of the Kayoderosseras, a huge area of land formerly inhabited by the Mohawk. The Native Americans felt they had been treated unfairly when the land patent was granted to a number of colonists in the early eighteenth century. Kissam's ledger lists the services he performed for the proprietors in reaching a new settlement with the Mohawk in 1768.","The \"Supream Court Register\" contains information on the cases Kissam had before that court from 1768 to 1775 (the ledger indicates that he kept other registers for other jurisdictions during this period.). At the beginning of the entry for each case, he lists the names of the plaintiff and defendant, usually the name of the other attorney, and the means by which he got involved in the case. He then describes the actions taken in the case, and the dates as well as his costs and fees. If the case concerned a debt, he noted when and how it was repaid. Occasionally, he had the client sign a statement in the register saying that he would pay Kissam, or that he or she had received from Kissam the money recovered from the case.","Almost all of the cases in the register are civil, and debt is by far the most common type. There are also assumpsit cases, one involving a marriage promise; ejectment for lands in Cortlandt Manor and Oysterbay, as well as Westchester, Albany, Orange, Dutchess, Queens and Ulster Counties; trover and conversion; trespass; assault and battery; and slander.","For the few criminal cases, the entries are not too detailed. In 1772, Kissam represented first a man, and later a woman, who were accused by the Crown of receiving stolen goods. The man was convicted, but the woman was released because the attorney general could produce no witnesses.","In addition to providing details about Kissam's practice in the appeals court over this seven year period, the register provides the names of 22  other lawyers practicing there. These include James Duane, who is frequently named, and John Jay, a practicing attorney, who is named about a half dozen times. Kissam's notes about how he came to be involved in each case reveal his standing in the professional and social community. Some of his clients were from the wealthiest and most influential New York families, such as DeLancey, DePeyster, Livingston, Van Cortlandt, and Van Rensselaer. Captain Isaac Sears, whose name appears a number of times, was a ship owner and, like many of Kissam's clients and colleagues, a leader in the revolutionary cause.","Although it has been reported by Jay's biographers that Kissam was a loyalist, his political views are not evident in these volumes - even as the war was beginning. It is clear that he was well respected by many leaders of the revolution, such as Jay, Duane, and Sears, as well as Peter, Philip, and Robert Livingston, Abraham Ten Broeck and the Rutgers family.","Historical records of the practice of colonial lawyers are extremely rare, and so for that reason alone the Kissam ledger and register are valuable. These manuscripts are all the more important, however, because of Kissam's association with John Jay and other leaders in the revolutionary era, and because his clientele represented a wide range of colonial New Yorkers.","Arthur J.

Included are\n         correspondence, business and legal papers, papers re military\n         and religious matters, school notebooks, and certificates of\n         graduation from schools at the \n          University of Virginia .","Although little seems to be known or published about the\n         Latane family, valuable information may be found in \n          Parson Latane 1672-1732 by Lucy Temple Latane (Mss CS71.L347 1936); \n          Essex County, Virginia: Its Historic Homes,\n            Landmarks and Traditions edited by Essex County Woman's Club (F232.E7E7 1940);\n         and, \n          Settlers, Southerners, Americans: The History of\n            Essex County, Virginia 1608-1984 by James B.

Some of the letters are written\n         in French but the majority of them are in English. During the\n         1720s, Henry frequently advised Lewis to grow another crop\n         besides tobacco, saying that Europe could not consume all that\n         comes from America. In a letter of January 13, 1730, Henry is\n         \"impatient to know what the fate of Europe whether warr or\n         Peace everything seems to tend to a Crisis ...,\" possibly\n         referring to the trade conflict between England and Spain.","After her husband's death in 1732, Mary (Deane) Latane\n         managed the property that came to her and her children, with\n         the help of her cousin, \n          William Beverley (1698-1756). There are\n         several letters, 1733-1750, from Beverley discussing the\n         settlement of her husband's estate and the sale of her\n         tobacco. In addition, there are business correspondence, bills\n         of lading, invoices, and other papers concerning the sale of\n         tobacco.","Letters of interest include correspondence of \n          Spencer Roane (1762-1822), King and Queen\n         County, and \n          William Latane (1750-1811), Essex County,\n         July 1791-August 1792, concerning the deed and survey for the\n         \"Mount Clement Trail of Land,\" and another on July 25, 1804 re\n         the suit of Braxton vs Roane; letters on April 19, 1825, June\n         13, 1826, and November 18, 1826, from \n          James Montague , \n          Harden County, Kentucky , to friends in\n         Essex County, concerning various aspects of life in Kentucky\n         such as the conflict between anti-relief and relief parties,\n         tobacco sales, and prices of corn, flour, cotton, whiskey, et\n         al.; one on June 9, 1854, from Rev. \n          Henry W. L. Temple , Wayland, to \n          James Allen Latane , University of\n         Virginia, discussing Bishop \n          William Meade 's visit; and, several\n         letters, October 25, 1864, December 4, 1871, February 2 and\n         June 15, 1883, and June 13, 1885, from \n          Thomas S.

Watson , Bracketts, to \n          Julia A. Holladay , Botetourt County,\n         mentioning the poisoning of some children by a black\n         woman.","The business papers are comprised of accounts and\n         administrative and estate papers as well as general\n         correspondence and papers. The accounts are chiefly for\n         members of the Latane and Waring families, and, to a lesser\n         extent, for members of the \n          Allen family and \n          Temple family . The administrative and\n         estate papers concern the estates of \n          William Peachey ( -1700), \n          Lewis Latane (1672-1732), \n          Robert Payne Waring (-1799?), \n          William Latane (1750-1811), \n          John Temple ( -1812), \n          Lewis Dix ( -1815?), \n          James Allen ( -1820?), \n          Ann Latane ( -1820?), and \n          Henry Waring Latane (1782-1860). Also,\n         there are business papers pertaining to black history; and, a\n         separate itemized listing has been compiled.","The legal papers contain many indentures, land grants and\n         plats/surveys for lands in \n          Essex County , \n          King and Queen County , and \n          Rappahannock County . These papers are\n         helpful in determining ownership of lands held by the Latane\n         Family, \n          Roane Family , \n          Allen Family , and \n          Dix Family . In addition, there are copies\n         of wills for members of the Latane, Roane, Allen, and Dix\n         families. The wills also contain references to the division of\n         blacks among the families.","There are also genealogical, military, and religious\n         material. The military papers, 1814-1828, pertain chiefly to\n         James Allen's career as captain in the Virginia militia and\n         include abstracts of forage, regimental orders, receipt for\n         arms, detailed returns of arms accoutrements, and rosters of\n         officers and other personnel. Among the miscellaneous papers\n         is a small group of material concerning religious matters,\n         particularly having to do with \n          South Farnham Parish in Essex County.\n         Included are a letter, December 17, 1716, from \n          Alexander Spotswood to the vestry of the\n         parish re their decision to suspend \n          Lewis Latane from his ministerial office;\n         a hymn book belonging to \n          John Latane ; and, two letters about the\n         weakening of the Church in Virginia.","See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","","University of Virginia.

Included are\n         correspondence, business and legal papers, papers re military\n         and religious matters, school notebooks, and certificates of\n         graduation from schools at the \n          University of Virginia .","Although little seems to be known or published about the\n         Latane family, valuable information may be found in \n          Parson Latane 1672-1732 by Lucy Temple Latane (Mss CS71.L347 1936); \n          Essex County, Virginia: Its Historic Homes,\n            Landmarks and Traditions edited by Essex County Woman's Club (F232.E7E7 1940);\n         and, \n          Settlers, Southerners, Americans: The History of\n            Essex County, Virginia 1608-1984 by James B. Slaughter (F232.E7S5 1985).","The early eighteenth century correspondence contains many\n         letters from \n          Henry Latane and his wife, \n          Anne Latane , London, England, to his\n         brother, \n          Lewis Latane (1672-1732) and his third\n         wife, \n          Mary (Deane) Latane (1685-1765), South\n         Farnham Parish, Essex County. Some of the letters are written\n         in French but the majority of them are in English. During the\n         1720s, Henry frequently advised Lewis to grow another crop\n         besides tobacco, saying that Europe could not consume all that\n         comes from America. In a letter of January 13, 1730, Henry is\n         \"impatient to know what the fate of Europe whether warr or\n         Peace everything seems to tend to a Crisis ...,\" possibly\n         referring to the trade conflict between England and Spain.","After her husband's death in 1732, Mary (Deane) Latane\n         managed the property that came to her and her children, with\n         the help of her cousin, \n          William Beverley (1698-1756). There are\n         several letters, 1733-1750, from Beverley discussing the\n         settlement of her husband's estate and the sale of her\n         tobacco. In addition, there are business correspondence, bills\n         of lading, invoices, and other papers concerning the sale of\n         tobacco.","Letters of interest include correspondence of \n          Spencer Roane (1762-1822), King and Queen\n         County, and \n          William Latane (1750-1811), Essex County,\n         July 1791-August 1792, concerning the deed and survey for the\n         \"Mount Clement Trail of Land,\" and another on July 25, 1804 re\n         the suit of Braxton vs Roane; letters on April 19, 1825, June\n         13, 1826, and November 18, 1826, from \n          James Montague , \n          Harden County, Kentucky , to friends in\n         Essex County, concerning various aspects of life in Kentucky\n         such as the conflict between anti-relief and relief parties,\n         tobacco sales, and prices of corn, flour, cotton, whiskey, et\n         al.; one on June 9, 1854, from Rev. \n          Henry W. L. Temple , Wayland, to \n          James Allen Latane , University of\n         Virginia, discussing Bishop \n          William Meade 's visit; and, several\n         letters, October 25, 1864, December 4, 1871, February 2 and\n         June 15, 1883, and June 13, 1885, from \n          Thomas S. Watson , Bracketts, chiefly to \n          Julia A. Holladay , \n          Botetourt County, Virginia , mentioning\n         news of family and friends, new dwellings built on Ionia, and\n         his being disqualified as a member of the legislature.","Letters pertaining to black history include one of December\n         10, 1772, from \n          Samuel Peachey, Jr. , \n          Occoquan Furnace , to William Latane,\n         Essex County, asking him to send a young black at Christmas\n         because the latter wants to learn the blacksmith trade; one of\n         November 10, 1788, from \n          Bartlett Williams , New Kent, to \n          William Latane , Essex County, complaining\n         about Latane's man Ephraim corrupting his blacks, and\n         requesting that he not be permitted to visit his plantation; a\n         circular, February 27, 1794, referring to the transportation\n         of slaves from Africa to the West-India islands; one of\n         February 28, 1809, from S. Chenault, Nelson County, Kentucky,\n         re the \"elopement\" of Franklin and his recovery by a Captain\n         Lafon who kept him in his possession for awhile;\n         correspondence between \n          Henry Waring Latane (1782-1860), Essex\n         County, and his brother-in-law, \n          John Temple ( -1812), Parkersburg, re the\n         death of Temple's father and the division of his slaves at\n         \"Goldberry,\" December 10, 1811 and January 8, 1812; and, one\n         of June 13, 1885, from \n          Thomas S. Watson , Bracketts, to \n          Julia A. Holladay , Botetourt County,\n         mentioning the poisoning of some children by a black\n         woman.","The business papers are comprised of accounts and\n         administrative and estate papers as well as general\n         correspondence and papers. The accounts are chiefly for\n         members of the Latane and Waring families, and, to a lesser\n         extent, for members of the \n          Allen family and \n          Temple family . The administrative and\n         estate papers concern the estates of \n          William Peachey ( -1700), \n          Lewis Latane (1672-1732), \n          Robert Payne Waring (-1799?), \n          William Latane (1750-1811), \n          John Temple ( -1812), \n          Lewis Dix ( -1815?), \n          James Allen ( -1820?), \n          Ann Latane ( -1820?), and \n          Henry Waring Latane (1782-1860). Also,\n         there are business papers pertaining to black history; and, a\n         separate itemized listing has been compiled.","The legal papers contain many indentures, land grants and\n         plats/surveys for lands in \n          Essex County , \n          King and Queen County , and \n          Rappahannock County . These papers are\n         helpful in determining ownership of lands held by the Latane\n         Family, \n          Roane Family , \n          Allen Family , and \n          Dix Family . In addition, there are copies\n         of wills for members of the Latane, Roane, Allen, and Dix\n         families. The wills also contain references to the division of\n         blacks among the families.","There are also genealogical, military, and religious\n         material. The military papers, 1814-1828, pertain chiefly to\n         James Allen's career as captain in the Virginia militia and\n         include abstracts of forage, regimental orders, receipt for\n         arms, detailed returns of arms accoutrements, and rosters of\n         officers and other personnel. Among the miscellaneous papers\n         is a small group of material concerning religious matters,\n         particularly having to do with \n          South Farnham Parish in Essex County.\n         Included are a letter, December 17, 1716, from \n          Alexander Spotswood to the vestry of the\n         parish re their decision to suspend \n          Lewis Latane from his ministerial office;\n         a hymn book belonging to \n          John Latane ; and, two letters about the\n         weakening of the Church in Virginia.","See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","","University of Virginia.

In\n         1855, President Pierce made him the first solicitor in the\n         court of claims in the U. S. but President Buchanan dismissed\n         him in 1858 because of his pronounced views on slavery. He\n         gained prestige among anti- slavery people when he acted as\n         counsel for the plaintiff in the celebrated Dred Scott case;\n         he helped secure a defense attorney for John Brown after the\n         Harper's Ferry incident.

After resigning from\n         Lincoln's cabinet, he continued to loyally work for Lincoln.\n         He believed in Lincoln's plan of reconstruction, and decried\n         the disenfranchisement of the Southern whites and\n         enfranchisement of the negroes. During the late 1860s he\n         returned to the Democratic party.","Woodbury Blair, the son of Montgomery and Mary Elizabeth\n         (Woodbury) Blair, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on\n         September 1, 1852, and died on October 14, 1933.

After graduating from Princeton\n         University in 1842, he studied law in Washington, was admitted\n         to the Kentucky bar in 1843, and began to practice in St.\n         Louis.

He was appointed to West\n         Point in 1831 by President Jackson; after his graduation in\n         1835 he received a lieutenancy in the army in time to serve in\n         the Seminole War. The following year he resigned his\n         commission in order to study law at Transylvania University.\n         He settled in St. Louis, Missouri in 1837 and began practicing\n         law; he was appointed U. S. district attorney for Missouri but\n         removed for political reasons by President Tyler. He served as\n         mayor of St. Louis, 1842-1843, and as judge of the court of\n         common pleas, 1845-1849. He resigned in 1849 to resume his law\n         practice, and in 1852 moved to Maryland where he practiced law\n         chiefly before the Supreme Court of the United States. In\n         1855, President Pierce made him the first solicitor in the\n         court of claims in the U. S. but President Buchanan dismissed\n         him in 1858 because of his pronounced views on slavery. He\n         gained prestige among anti- slavery people when he acted as\n         counsel for the plaintiff in the celebrated Dred Scott case;\n         he helped secure a defense attorney for John Brown after the\n         Harper's Ferry incident. He was appointed postmaster general\n         in 1861 by President Lincoln, and while in office, organized\n         the postal system for the army, introduced compulsory payment\n         of postage and free delivery in cities, improved the registry\n         system, established the railway post office, organized the\n         postal draft plan, stopped the franking privileges of\n         postmasters, and was instrumental in bringing about the Postal\n         Union Convention at Paris in 1863. After resigning from\n         Lincoln's cabinet, he continued to loyally work for Lincoln.\n         He believed in Lincoln's plan of reconstruction, and decried\n         the disenfranchisement of the Southern whites and\n         enfranchisement of the negroes. During the late 1860s he\n         returned to the Democratic party.","Woodbury Blair, the son of Montgomery and Mary Elizabeth\n         (Woodbury) Blair, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on\n         September 1, 1852, and died on October 14, 1933. He graduated\n         Phillips Exeter Academy, and Harvard University, 1874, and its\n         law school, 1876. He practiced law in his father's office in\n         Washington, D.C.; was counsel for Citizens' National Bank of\n         Washington; trust officer and vice-president of National\n         Savings and Trust Company; director in Columbia Title\n         Insurance Company, Washington Railway and Electric Company,\n         Potomac Electric Company, and Norfolk and Washington Steamboat\n         Company; and, president of the Metropolitan Club. He was also\n         president of the Central dispensary and emergency hospital of\n         Washington, which he developed from a small building to an\n         institution of nearly a block, with 280 beds, 300 employees,\n         modern nurses' home, new interns' home, x-ray laboratory, and\n         out-patient and emergency departments. He was married to the\n         former Emily N. Wallach.","Francis Preston Blair, lawyer and army officer, was born in\n         Lexington, Kentucky, on February 10, 1821, and died in St.\n         Louis, Missouri, in July 1875. After graduating from Princeton\n         University in 1842, he studied law in Washington, was admitted\n         to the Kentucky bar in 1843, and began to practice in St.\n         Louis. When the Mexican War began he enlisted in the army as a\n         private; following the war he returned to his practice in St.\n         Louis. He was elected to congress, and in 1857, spoke in favor\n         of colonizing the negroes of the United States in Central\n         America. Following the South Carolina secession convention, he\n         stressed the importance in preventing the seizure by state\n         authorities of the St. Louis arsenal, and became the head of\n         the military organization then formed, which occasionally\n         guarded the arsenal.

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. Roosevelt to W. Jett Lauck were transferred to the UVA Special Collections Franklin D. Roosevelt papers, on February 6, 2005.","The original letters from Upton Sinclair to W. Jett Lauck were transferred to the UVA Special Collections Upton Sinclair papers on February 6, 2005.","The original letters from William H. Taft to W. 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.

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.
