This listing is for a variety of CIO items that belonged to my father. He fought in WWII in the Battle of the Bulge and later became an attorney.
First, there is a hardcover book, "CIO, 1935 - 1955, Industrial Democracy in Action". It is 150 pages long with several chapters and lots of black and white photos. Chapters include: "The Early Years, Organizing for Industrial Democracy", "The War Years, Labor Produces", "The Post-War Years, New Horizons for Labor", "1952-1955, Citizenship in Operation", "Faith in Ourselves..." by Walter P. Reuther, "The Time for Remembering" by James B. Carey, "A Spirit of Determination..." by John V. Riffe, "A New Era Has Dawned..." by John Brophy, "The Thanks of All Our Citizens...", "The Industrial Unions of the CIO", "Preamble to the Constitution of the Congress of Industrial Organizations". My father, who was an attorney during that time, has his name stamped on the cover. The book is in very good condition for its age.
Second, there are two (2) identical record albums, "Image of History, 20 Years of the CIO". The Narrator is Melvyn Douglas. Musical Arrangement and Guitar Accompaniment, Joe Glazer, W.C. Chorus: L. Weiner Cond., Written and Produced by Hyman Bookbiner, Sound Supervision: Al Hamilton. The cover letter to the albums is even included, addressed "To the Delegates at the CIO Convention". The record albums are in very good condition. I have no way of playing them, so I do not know if they skip or are scratched or have other issues.
Third, there are two (2) identical posters of Philip Murray, "In Memorian, May 25, 1886 - November 9, 1952".The posters measure approximately 19" x 12".They are in good condition but do have age spots on both the front and back sides.They curl up when laid flat, which is why I have cans on the corners to take the photo. They say: "Philip Murray has finished his God-given lifetime assignment of humble and courageous service to the poor and oppressed throughout all the earth. His great soul will lead for all time those who love justice and truth. May his devotion to human dignity inspire us down through all the years that are to come. His noble example is our eternal legacy for those who come after us."Memorial Session, Fourteenth Constitutional Convention, Congress of Industrial Organizations, Atlantic City, New Jersey, December 3, 1952.
