SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
Development of Federal Intervention Policy
UPA's microform publication, Strike Files of the U.S. Department of Justice, Part I.
1894-1920 documents the changing policies of the federal government in labor disputes
from the Pullman Strike in 1894 through 1920. The general policy was one of federal
intervention in strike situations only if interstate commerce or the operation of the mails
were affected. In certain basic industries, such as railroads or coal mines, this rationale
for intervention became particularly compelling. In other cases, where the judgment as
to whether a stricken industry affected interstate commerce was less clear, federal
officials debated among themselves whether to intervene. With the advent of World
War I labor policies, the federal government's role in labor disputes was significantly
broadened to encompass the large category of war production industries. During the
postwar era covered by this edition, a new range of questions as to the appropriate role
of the federal government in labor disputes presents itself.
Types of Documents
Letters between the head office and local U.S. Attorneys show the development of
federal policy. Letters and reports from U.S. Marshals detail the minutiae of federal
involvement ranging from names and occupations of federal deputies, to incidents of
unrest, mob violence, and intimidation. In this class of documents are also
communications relating to the payment of accounts.
Letters from business, community, and labor leaders lobby for or against federal
intervention according to their perceptions of the merits of the strike. Public opinion
was particularly vociferous when basic industries such as the supply of coal for home
heating were affected.
Letters from ordinary citizens urge federal intervention to protect their access to a
basic commodity or service or urge nonintervention to protect the rights of labor. In
cases such as lock-outs, these positions were often reversed. In some cases there are
groundswells of public opinion for both sides.
Types of Cases
The genesis of the strike file (and the first strike presented in this publication) was the
Pullman Strike of 1894. In this strike, the government stepped in bodily guarding
railroad property, coordinating nationwide efforts to put down the strike, and
prosecuting Eugene V. Debs and other leaders of the American Railway Union for
interfering with the U.S. mails and interstate commerce.
The second strike receiving attention is the Anthracite Coal Strike in Pennsylvania. In
this case the government contemplated action against both labor and business as
vii
President Theodore Roosevelt and his administration were beset by waves of public
opinion on each side.
There follows a host of small cases involving railroads, mineworkers, longshoremen,
and manufacturing in the period leading up to the First World War. Most noteworthy
among these, perhaps, are the Lawrence, Massachusetts, Textile Strike of 1912 and the
Paterson, New Jersey, Silk Workers Strike of 1913, as well as other strikes in which
Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) influence was alleged. The Bache-Denman
Coal Company Lockout (Fort Smith, Arkansas), dating from 1914, offers a very indepth look at some of the problems confronting mineworkers during this era. Also
potentially significant is a small file on the International Harvester Plant strikes of 1941,
found here because of a quirk in the Department of Justice filing system.
During the World War I era, efforts to avert strikes were more generally successful,
as the Department of Justice took a more active role in cooperation with the U.S. Board
of Mediation and Conciliation and the U.S. Department of Labor, as well as obtaining
injunctions against labor disputes. In these years pro-German matters and allegations of
espionage became particularly sensitive as were continued efforts to eliminate the
IWW.
Upon the close of the war, there was a series of strikes involving telephone workers,
coal miners, railroad yardmen, marine workers, and manufacturers. The Bituminous
Coal Strike of 1919 shows the operation of the Department of Justice under A. Mitchell
Palmer and includes substantive material on violence in Logan and Mingo Counties,
West Virginia. The National Railroad Yardmen's Strike of 1920 shows cooperation
between the railroads, the conservative railroad brotherhoods, and the government in
putting down a strike by the radical yardmen's organization.
Filing System
Documents are filed in folders in reverse chronological order. Each document or
group of documents has a binder showing any subsequent action or correspondence
relating to the subject. In the major cases there are subfiles for virtually every state and
territory, as well as special topics including government agencies, members of
Congress, or other issue-related correspondence.
With the exception of one file, this entire publication is part of the Classified Subject
File, in which Class 16 signifies the Strike File. The exception is a Straight Numerical
File case concerning the exportation of coal in 1920, which is interfiled with the
National Railroad Yardmen's Strike.
Due to the Department of Justice numerical filing system, some casefiles are dated
much later than the 1920 cutoff date for this publication. In some cases files were
simply kept open for many years while litigation was carried forward. In other cases,
the numerical filing system causes cases from the 1930s and 1940s to be interfiled with
those of earlier years. Thus we find Casefile 16-7 and Casefile 16-7-0 interfiled,
although the first refers to the San Francisco Street Car Strike of 1907, while the second
refers to the U.S. Smelting and Refining Co. Strike of 1941.
VUl
Printed enclosures are filed separately in the original Strike File. This arrangement
has been kept in this microfilm edition, in which the enclosures appear on the final two
reels.
Scope of This Edition
This edition includes approximately the first third of the Department of Justice Strike
File, Class 16, held by the National Archives. The second third of the original file is
given completely to the national railroad strike of 1921. The remainder of the file covers
the years between the rail strike and the beginning of World War II. UPA plans to issue
subsequent editions from the Strike File at a later date.

SOURCE NOTE
The material contained in this micropublication has been reproduced from the
holdings of the National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, D.C. The
Strike Files of the U.S. Department of Justice, Part 1. 1894-1920 is part of Record
Group 60, General Records of the Department of Justice.
EDITORIAL NOTE
Omitted from this microfilm edition are numerous insubstantial files that contain such
things as summary rejections of federal jurisdiction, duplicate circulars, and crank
letters. An appendix in the user guide lists each case file that has been omitted. In
addition to these editorial omissions, there are a few files from which the National
Archives has removed confidential documents. These materials include Federal Bureau
of Investigation reports and Grand Jury material. Where such removals are made, the
National Archives has filed withdrawal notices. Individual researchers may appeal the
withdrawal of individual documents by petitioning the National Archives.
The arrangement of documents on the microfilm is by Justice Department casefile
number. UPA editors have assigned each casefile a name, based on the industry,
location, or dispute in question. These unofficial titles are listed in brackets next to the
casefile numbers in the user guide.
The original Strike File at the National Archives contains an appendix file of printed
enclosures. The "Enclosures" file consists of bound and printed material, such as legal
briefs. These materials were microfilmed separately at the end of the present edition.
The "Enclosures" file is arranged by the same case numbers as the main casefile. Not
every file has printed enclosures. Researchers can determine whether a casefile has a
corresponding enclosures file by matching it up with the case numbers listed in the user
guide.
