Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

Documents of the later denaturalization and deportation trials of the late 1940s and mid-1950s, involving a criminal and a civil case. Many of these documents are from an earlier period of the 1930s, evidently reused and reorganized by the law firm since they have been stamped and dated with a later date. These files include grand jury proceedings, affidavits, depositions, minutes, correspondence, memos and news clippings. There are witness files of Mervyn Rathborne, Ivan Cox, James Ferguson, and Lee Holman, among others. Also included is CIO correspondence, memos and telegrams. An index (13/30) lists the contents of each document in Box/Folder 13/04 through 15/06. Box 17 includes Mervyn Rathborne's correspondence, and photocopies of newspaper articles detailing Michael Quill's union activities in New York, marked with a different numbering system. The few photographs found among the old and new documents have been moved to the Photograph Collection of the Labor Archives.
