Provenance
In October, 1965, Rutgers University received the Records of the International Union of Electrical, Radio and
Machine Workers, AFL-CIO (IUE), in accordance with the agreement between the IUE and the University Library
designating Rutgers as the official repository for the archives of the union. The first accession group of
IUE Archives contained approximately 495 linear feet of material and was transferred to Rutgers in the
original office transfiles formerly stored at the union's international headquarters in Washington, D.C.
These transfiles contained records and documents generated and collected by IUE President James B. Carey and
other union officers, the various IUE Departments and their heads, and the constituent district offices and
local unions from 1949 (the inception of the union) to 1961.
The records of the IUE Publicity Department, comprising 47.5 linear feet, constitute a subgroup within Record
Group I of the IUE Archives. Files contained with this subgroup were left relatively intact by the union and
reflect the order imposed by their creators, Arthur D. Riordan, Publicity Department Director (1950-1958),
Ray Hansen, Assistant Publicity Department Director (1955-1957), and James Toughill, Director of the IUE-
sponsored radio series Pipeline.
Arrangement, processing, and description of the Publicity Department Records-Record Group I, IUE Archives,
was initiated and completed in 1993 after the Special Collections and Archives Department of the Rutgers
University Library received a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC)
and additional financial support from the International Union of Electronic, Electrical, Salaried, Machine &
Furniture Workers, AFL–CIO.
Administrative History
The Publicity Department of the International Union of Electrical Workers (IUE) AFL-CIO, though formally
established as a departmental entity by the IUE's constitutional convention in December 1950, had actually
functioned since the chartering of the union by the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in November
1949. Its primary responsibilities were threefold: to carry the union's story to the membership; to inform
the general public of the activities of the IUE and the labor movement in general; and to assist IUE
officers, departments, and local unions in organization and collective bargaining work.
Because of the rapid growth of the IUE's membership during the early 1950's, and organized labor's
internecine struggle for jurisdictional control within the electrical, radio, T.V. and electronics
industries, the Publicity Department assumed broader duties than similar departments in other unions. From
1949 to 1958 the IUE waged an aggressive publicity campaign to combat raiding by rival AFL-CIO affiliates and
wrest jurisdictional control within the major electrical firms--General Electric, Westinghouse, and RCA--from
the communist-dominated United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of America (UE), which had been
expelled from the CIO. The Publicity Department's first director, Arthur D. Riordan (1950-1959), and his
assistant, Ray Hansen (1950-1957), played key roles in planning organizational campaigns targeting these
"chain" corporations and defeating the UE in important National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) elections--
particularly at the largest GE plants in Lynn, Massachusetts and Schenectady, New York.
The IUE Publicity Department provided invaluable assistance in the drive to organize Southern and Canadian
electrical workers between 1954 and 1957. In these crucial organizing campaigns, departmental staff and field
representatives printed and distributed leaflets, bulletins, and advertisements to educate prospective rank
and file members. Through various media, including radio and television, the department informed workers and
the public on various labor issues as well as the progress of organization drives, conference board
negotiations, and strikes-- particularly the important Westinghouse Strike of 1955-1956, the longest nation-
wide strike in the history of the electrical industry.
In addition to attacking racial and job discrimination, right-to-work legislation, and the existing wage-
differential in the South, the IUE Publicity Department exposed the unfair labor practices and union-busting
tactics associated with GE and "Boulwarism." Its staff assisted international officers in the research and
writing of speeches, the preparation of radio and television scripts, and the drafting of press releases and
statements. The department played an integral role in shaping IUE policy on various labor-management issues,
legislative and political affairs, and important social action programs--including civil rights, women's
issues, and community service projects.
To carry the IUE's message to its rank and file membership the Publicity Department printed its official
journal, The IUE AFL-CIO News. Published bi-weekly since 1950, the labor periodical chronicled the activities
of the international union and its officers, carried feature articles on local unions, covered the labor
movement in general, and noted economic and collective bargaining trends within the electrical industry. A
special newsletter, Inside the IUE AFL-CIO, was initiated shortly thereafter to provide local union officers
and shop stewards with important economic data and news. Under the direction of a veteran news journalist,
James Toughill, the IUE also initiated the daily radio series, Pipeline, to reach its members and inform the
public. The Publicity Department maintained research files on electrical manufacturers, legislative affairs,
civil rights, and other topics to assist officers and departments in the preparation of speeches and
publicity material.
Scope and Content
The records of the IUE Publicity Department consist of 47.5 linear feet of material, chiefly documenting the
myriad activities and work of the departmental directors, staff, and field representatives who served the
international union from 1950 to 1960. Record contents trace the Publicity Department's historic role in
disseminating essential information to the IUE membership and shaping public opinion on labor issues. Because
the IUE Publicity Department functioned as a clearing house for information for all departments of the union,
its work extended to virtually all phases of IUE activities in the fields of organization, collective
bargaining, political action, civil rights, public relations, and reporting of local union news. This
subgroup provides evidential documentation of the Publicity Department's internal administration and
operation, its bureaucratic relationship to other IUE departments, and highlights the expanding scope and
function of the Publicity Department as the IUE evolved as an institutional entity.
The Publicity Department records are divided into fourteen distinct series which generally reflect the order
imposed by their principal creators, Arthur D. Riordan, Ray Hansen, and James Toughill. Riordan served as the
Publicity Department Director and Managing Editor of IUE-CIO News from 1950-1958. Hansen occupied the post of
Assistant Director from 1955 to 1957 before his appointment as an executive administrative assistant to IUE
President James B. Carey. He incorporated his executive administrative correspondence and memoranda files
within his Publicity Department files. James Toughill, a department staff member, directed the IUE radio
Series Pipeline from 1957 to 1959. All maintained their own correspondence, memoranda, and general research
files within the Publicity Department Records but merged all other essential departmental files covered by
the date span 1950 to 1960.
The records of the IUE Publicity Department include correspondence, memoranda, telegrams, and circular
letters sent and received by the Publicity Department Director, Assistant Director, and staff. The bulk of
the correspondence was generated by Riordan and Hansen, but also includes letters and memoranda sent and
received by President Carey and Secretary-Treasurer Albin Hartnett, IUE organizers, field representatives,
and local union officials.
Much of Riordan's outgoing correspondence and memoranda files, dating from 1950-1958, his handling of
administrative affairs--chiefly arrangements for the publication and distribution of the union's newspaper,
IUE-CIO News, and the preparation of other union-issued publications and bulletins, and organizational
literature. Incoming correspondence and memoranda from field representatives and organizers largely concerns
requests for publicity material used in conjunction with organizing drives, NLRB elections, strikes, and
contract and conference board negotiations. Ray Hansen, Assistant Publicity Director, assumed more direct
responsibility for coordinating the department's publicity work during organizing campaigns and strikes. His
correspondence and memoranda reflect a special interest and concern with the union's struggle against the UE
and radicalism in the labor movement. Moreover, the Hansen-Carey memoranda files (which are contained in
Hansen's general files) provide historical information on the progress of ongoing IUE organizational
campaigns, local strike conditions, and the Publicity Department's role in assisting the union in planning
organizing drives and union elections.
Riordan and Hansen maintained extensive general research files consisting of: press clippings; articles on
labor issues and social, economic, and political topics; IUE educational and organizational pamphlets;
convention press kits; AFL and CIO union newsletters; and corporate publications. This material was used to
prepare speeches, statements, press releases, radio and T.V. scripts, and reports issued by Carey and
Hartnett. Riordan's general files are particularly significant for their coverage of local strike and
collective bargaining activities during the early 1950's within the major chain corporations--G.E.,
Westinghouse, Sylvania, and Philco. The Press Clippings series, 1954-1955, is devoted exclusively to the
nationwide Westinghouse strike and GE negotiations of 1955 and supplements Riordan's general files on these
corporations.
The Publicity Department and its directors generated and maintained its own publications files which
included: issues of the union's official organ, IUE-CIO News (1950-1955); its newsletter for IUE shop
stewards, staff, and international representatives, Inside IUE-CIO (1951-1958); and press releases issued
under the banner, News From the IUE-CIO, (1949-1958). Editions of the IUE-CIO News are far more complete than
the IUE newsletters and press releases. IUE Local Union and district publications, consisting of newspapers,
bulletins, newsletters, circulars and leaflets, were also kept on file to historically document local union
activities and conditions during strikes, organizing campaigns, and union elections.
The important role which the IUE Publicity Department played in assisting in the IUE's organizing work during
the 1950's is amply documented in the Publicity Files for Organizing Campaigns series. Beside containing
leaflets, broadsides, press clippings, and other organization ephemera, these files house correspondence and
memoranda tracing the evolution of IUE organizing strategy at the regional and local levels, and the
coordinated efforts of the Publicity Department and IUE field organizers. The IUE's struggle against the UE
and jurisdictional strife with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and International
Association of Machinists highlights emerges as a prominent theme in many of the organizing campaigns.
Coverage is more extensive for the major corporate campaigns for the period 1954-1957--especially the GE-
Schenectady campaign of 1954. Included in these files are a variety of anti-union circulars, leaflets,
employee newsletters and newspaper ads issued by employers. A supplemental series devoted to District 5,
Canada, contains much of the same material but focuses exclusively on the Canadian subsidiaries of GE and
RCA, and IUE organization work in Brockville, Peterborough, and Prescott, Ontario and Montreal.
From 1957 to 1959, the IUE committed considerable financial resources to disseminating IUE news to its
members and the public via radio and television. Several related series within the Publicity Department
Records document these endeavors. The research and correspondence files of James Toughill, director and
narrator of the IUE-produced radio series Pipeline, provide information on the origins, administration, and
marketing of the program. Toughill also prepared statements, television and film scripts, and press releases
for IUE President James B. Carey and Secretary-Treasurer, Albin Hartnett. Related series include transcripts
and audio recordings of the Pipeline Series. The reel-to-reel master recordings contain interview segments
with IUE officers, labor officials, and prominent legislators which are not included with the scripts.
In conjunction with its publicity work on legislative initiatives, election campaigns, political education
programs, and civil rights, the department generated and collected a small series documenting IUE activities
in these areas. These research files include press clippings, periodicals, voting records of legislators,
political handbooks, and pamphlets with particular emphasis on the Democratic Party, the elections of 1956
and 1958, and labor political action committee work. Publicity Department civil rights files are included
with this series and contain reports, bulletins, and memoranda generated by the IUE Civil Rights Committee.
There is also material relating to a race-baiting campaign initiated by the Northern Electric Company (NECO)
to counter IUE organization efforts at its plant in Bay Springs, Mississippi.
1. CORRESPONDENCE OF DIRECTOR ARTHUR D.RIORDAN , Date Span: 1950-1958, Quantity: 1.50 LN. FT.
Grouped chronologically for years 1950-1953, with outgoing correspondence files (1954-1958) arranged by date
of letter.
Incoming and outgoing correspondence, memoranda, telegrams, press releases, and organization leaflets
generated and collected by Arthur Riordan, Director of the IUE Publicity Department. These materials reflect
the scope and range of activities and responsibilities assumed by Riordan and his staff and provide
information on the administrative functioning of the department. The bulk of the incoming correspondence and
memoranda from field representatives, local unions, and international officers includes: requests for
publicity material used in conjunction with organizing campaigns, NLRB elections, and conference board
negotiations, revisions to the mailing list of the IUE-CIO News, and the compilation of research material for
inclusion in speeches, press releases, and radio and television broadcasts.
Riordan's outgoing correspondence and memoranda largely document his administration of the publication and
circulation of the IUE AFL-CIO News. Requests to IUE field representatives and local union officials for
information, photographs, and articles on the status of organizing campaigns, conference board negotiations,
and strikes, also comprise a substantial portion of this series. The assistance given by the publicity
department to other IUE departments and its institutional relationship with the AFL-CIO's Publicity
Department are highlighted as well. Included are letters from Riordan to labor journalists and newspaper
editors requesting the publication of feature articles on various IUE activities. Among Riordan's
correspondence files is a typescript copy of James B. Carey's statement on the historic settlement between
IUE and GE in 1950 that granted the union recognition.

2. GENERAL FILES OF DIRECTOR ARTHUR D. RIORDAN , Date Span: 1949-1959, Bulk Date: 1953-1958, Quantity: 8.80
LN.FT.
Arranged alphabetically by topical heading.
Research and subject files created and maintained by Arthur D. Riordan, IUE Publicity Director. Contents
therein provided the essential research material used by Riordan and his staff for publishing IUE-CIO News
and issuing publicity literature. Items include: newspaper and periodical clippings; organization leaflets,
broadsides, and ephemera; corporate-issued employee newsletters and anti-union circulars; IUE press releases,
speech transcripts, radio and television scripts, and press kit material from conventions. Memoranda,
reports, and circulars generated by IUE President James B. Carey and other international officers are
interspersed throughout the files and provide information on the Publicity Department's coordinated efforts
during strikes, conference board negotiations and organizing drives.
The General Electric, Westinghouse, Sylvania, and Philco corporate files constitute a significant portion of
this series and document local strike activity, organizing campaigns, collective bargaining patterns, and
employee relations during the 1950's. Files on other labor unions, especially the United Electrical Workers
and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, illuminate the intense jurisdictional strife within
the electrical industry. The general subject files reflect Riordan's diverse interests and the full range of
the publicity department's activities. Topics covered include legislation and political action, the election
of 1952, pension and health issues, civil rights and social action programs.

Arranged chronologically by topical heading.
Research and correspondence files generated and collected by Ray Hansen, Assistant Director of the IUE
Publicity Department and assistant to IUE President James B. Carey. Hansen prepared speeches, press releases,
reports, statements and media scripts for Carey. His research files provided the essential information for
drafting such material. Contents include: newspaper and periodical clippings, corporate and trade
newsletters, IUE press releases and publications, AFL-CIO and various union newsletters, typescript speeches,
radio and television scripts, organization leaflets and publicity material, conference board minutes, and
minutes of IUE Executive Board meetings. Topical files cover the full spectrum of trade union activity with
an emphasis on IUE organization drives, NLRB elections, unemployment during the recession of 1957, and
corruption in labor.
Hansen's letter files contain both incoming and outgoing correspondence and memoranda. Principal
correspondents include Carey and other IUE department heads, field representatives and organizers, local
union officers, AFL-CIO officials, and labor journalists. The correspondence files contain memoranda from
Hansen to Carey outlining the status of organizing campaigns, NLRB elections, contract negotiations, and
strikes. They illustrate Hansen's and the publicity department's influence in shaping IUE organizing strategy
and the substance of Carey's speeches and addresses on important labor and social issues.

5. PUBLICATIONS/NEWSLETTERS OF THE IUE , Date Span: 1951-1957, Quantity: 0.33 LN. FT.
Grouped by title and thereunder arranged chronologically by date of publication.
Consists primarily of Inside IUE-CIO (1951-1954) and IUE-CIO News (1950-1955), both published by the IUE
Publicity Department. Printed bi-weekly, Inside IUE-CIO (a four-page lithographed publication) informed IUE
staff members, local officers, and shop stewards on vital economic and legislative news. IUE-CIO News, the
official organ of the IUE, was largely distributed to the rank and file membership. The twelve-page tabloid
carried feature articles on important strikes, negotiations, collective bargaining agreements, and pending
legislation vital to the interests of the IUE membership. During the 1950's its circulation reached a total
of 450,000. A special strike supplement, The Westinghouse Picket (October 31, 1955-March 19, 1956), was
issued to provide coverage of the IUE strike against the Westinghouse Corporation. This series also contains
issues of the GE Employee Newsletter (1951-1953), which the IUE kept on file to monitor GE personnel policies
and trends in corporate welfare programs.

Arranged chronologically by date of release.
Consists primarily of IUE press releases issued under the title News From the IUE-CIO, in mimeograph,
lithograph, and typescript format. Prepared by the publicity staff and distributed to wire services,
newspapers, and radio and television stations, the releases were intended to inform the media and public of
the IUE's position on various labor-management issues and current developments in conference board
negotiations, strikes, organizing campaigns, and legislation and political affairs. They were also
distributed to IUE field representatives to keep them abreast of activities in other regions and IUE
districts. The publicity department used the press releases as a counterweight to corporate propaganda and
"misinformation" campaigns aimed at discrediting the union. The bulk were prepared in the form of press
statements for IUE President, James B. Carey, who served as the official spokesperson for the international
union.

7. PUBLICITY FILES FOR ORGANIZING CAMPAIGNS , Date Span: 1950-1958, Bulk Date: 1954-1957, Quantity: 4.60 LN.
FT.
Arranged alphabetically by corporate and geographic name.
Organizing campaign files generated and maintained by IUE Publicity Department Director Arthur D. Riordan and
Assistant Director Ray Hansen. Contents include: organization leaflets, broadsides, and memorabilia issued by
the IUE; memoranda and correspondence, newspaper clippings and advertisements; anti-union handbills and
circulars issued by electrical manufacturers; NLRB election material and sample ballots. The bulk of this
material documents the evolution of IUE organization strategy at the local and regional levels and highlights
the publicity department's role in assisting the work of field organizers through the printing of campaign
literature and assignment of staff members. Regional and local organizing drives against the large "chain"
corporations--GE, Westinghouse, RCA, and Sperry-Rand--are given extensive coverage while smaller companies
receive less attention.
This series is rich in documenting the struggle between the IUE and the UE for jurisdictional control in the
large GE and Westinghouse plants. Much of the organizing campaign literature generated in the early to mid-
1950's publicized the alleged ties between UE officers and the Communist Party of America (CPA).
Jurisdictional strife among the IUE, IBEW, IAM, and UAW also figures prominently in the publicity department
organizing files. Memoranda and correspondence are interspersed throughout the files and touch upon such
subjects as: the challenges posed by UE organizers, GE efforts to foment jurisdictional strife to the
corporation's advantage, opposition to right-to-work legislation, and Southern organizing strategy.

8. CANADIAN FILES , Date Span: 1948-1954, Bulk Date, 1953, Quantity: 0.65 LN. FT.
Arranged alphabetically by subject and geographic location.
In his capacity as Assistant Publicity Director, Ray Hansen maintained separate files devoted to IUE
organizing campaigns, labor board elections, and research material pertaining to IUE District 5, Canada. His
files chiefly cover IUE organizing campaigns and representation elections at the Peterbourough, Prescott, and
Brockville, Ontario plants of Canada General Electric (CGE). In these plants, the IUE and UE waged a fierce
contest for representation rights. File contents include anti-UE leaflets, broadsides, and circular letters.
A small amount of Hansen's outgoing and incoming correspondence is deposited in several files, documenting
organization work in progress, assessing local labor conditions, and evaluating pending decisions by the
Ontario Labour Relations Board. In addition, Hansen collected issues of local newspapers, news clippings, and
the union's Canadian organizing bulletin, The IUE-CIO Magnet.

Grouped by district and arranged by local union number.
Local union newspapers, newsletters, and bulletins collected and maintained by the IUE Publicity Department.
These files include IUE District organizing leaflets, circular letters, convention material and various state
CIO Industrial Union Council publications. A small amount of correspondence from local and district officers
to Arthur Riordan and Ray Hansen is interspersed throughout the files, highlighting publicity efforts in
conjunction with a variety of union activities.
Department staff and IUE international officers relied on the publications files to obtain historical and
research material on local union activities. During the course of organizing campaigns and strikes the
Publicity Department augmented these files with newspaper clippings to gauge public opinion and ascertain the
extent of corporate domination of the local media. The Publicity Department also collected and deposited
anti-IUE literature (leaflets, circulars, bulletins, and newspapers) printed and distributed by the UE and
management. IUE organization memorabilia and ephemera is also contained within this series.
