| Summary: | The John Brophy Papers includes personal and official records that span his entire life in the labor movement. However, the materials related to his years in the United Mine Workers--Series #1-- are sparse. They include important documentation of his work on the Nationalization Research Committee in the early 1920s and his challenge to the Lewis Presidency in 1926. This small series includes correspondence, speeches, clippings, official memos, reports, and three scrapbooks. The official UMWA District #2 Records at the University of Indiana at Purdue Archives are a more much extensive and complete source for Brophy's work as UMWA District #2 President between the 1916-1926 period. |
