, P~P. elf ' w:uo FROM MRS. ROOSEVELT JULY 16, 1936.

•

\ ~( ~ ll ./, TO: THE PRESIDENT r ./\ rr ""),..._ MR. FARLEY KR. KIOHELSON ( c~~,~ · MR. HIGH llR. EARLY I " .)..

KISS DEWSON ") -~ /

.1 1 v-I spent part of ~esday afternoon and the morning of Wednesday at Demooratio Headquarters. I had a conference with Kiss Dewson and Kr. Farley; a conference with Krs. Owen and Kiss Dewson; and a conference with Kr. Kichelson.

,

Ky impression is that the women are further along in their organ­ization and more ready to go than any other unit as yet. I .hear from outside sources that the Landon headquarters are set up and ready to work full time. They have continuity people wtiting for the radio, they have employed advertising people to do their copy, and the whole spirit is the spirit of a crusade.

Ky feeling is that we have to !et going and going qui«kly,as t stated yesterday. I saw down and analyzed things which I thought necessary to organization. Some of the things I had in mind Kr. Kichelson answered, a few things Kr. Farley answered for me at tre time of the conferences. I am putting them down again simply as a matter of record to get the ans~ers ~~ black and white.

I hope the answers will be mailed to reach us at Eastport, Kaine, on the 27th or 28th of July, when the President expects to be there.

(lr'

1. At the meeting in Washington, the President said that Kr. Michelson Steve Early, Stanley High and Henry Suydam would constitute

•

2.

3 .

the publicity steering committee, and I take it this must include radio, speeches, moviee;r pamphlets, fliers, news releases and trucks or whatever news goes out to the public. This com­mittee is extremely important.

Because of the importance of this committee, I hope a meeting will be held immediately for organizing and defining the duties of the members and that you will have the minutes kept at every meeting in order that a copy may go to the President and if the committee is willing, one to me as well ao that I may know just what is done eaoh time also.

Who is responsible for st~dying news reports and suggesting answers to charges, eto.?

Who is responsible, not for the mechanics of radio contracts for I understand you have a good man, but for the planning of a radio campaign, getting the speakers through the speakers' ~ bureau, making the arrangements in the states for people to listen and getting in touch with Ohester Davis, for instance on agriculture or any other people appointed as particular

•

.. - ·a -advisors on speoial subjects? In other words, who is making decisions under your committee on the above questions?

I

4. Who is in charge of research? Have we a department with complete information concerning all activities of the Hew Deal, and also concerning Landon and his supporters? If Kiss Blackburn is in charge of this 4epartment as she was in the last oampaign, have the heads of all campai gn departments, men, women and young Democrats, been notified as to where to apply for information? This information should go out to the state co~ittees also.

I gather if the President o.k. 1s it, the aggresive campaign against Landon's record will begin before Landon's aooeptanc6 speech. • Who is to collect and maintain the complete data up to date and to check on all inconsistencies in Landon's pronouncements or those of his campaign managers as they

relate to his former statements or record? Is there adequate material on this now at hand?

5. What definite plans have we made for tying in the other pub­licity organizations, both of men and women with the national publicity organization? I feel that anything of importance should go directly from a member of your committee and from the women in charge of national publicity to every publicity person in charge in the states.

6 . Have you mapped out continuous publicity steps which will be taken between now and November? Is there any way at least of charting a tentative plan of strategy for the whole campaign, changing of course, as new things occur?

' 7 . In the doubtful and Republican states what special attention do

you plan to give and have you collected any data as yet on these states?

8 . Who is handling news reels and will it be a committee or just one person and will your committee direct the activities?

9 . Has your committee assigned as yet to each member definite fields for supervision?

10. How ~any people are now working men, women and young Democrats? orf ticism so they cover all the

on campaign speeches, both for Who is goi~ over them for

necessary subjects?

11. Who is your man making contacts with newspapers all over the country?

12. Who is responsible for sending regular news to friendly news­papers? By this I mean feature stories, pictures, mats, boiler plate, etc.

•

'

,. . - 3-

~ I feel Kr. Rayburn should come at once to plan the policy and mechanics of the speakers• bureau. Then he could leave for a time.

I ,think it would be well to start some negro speakers, like Krs. Bethune to speak at church meetings and that type of negro organization.

Kore and more my reports indicate that this is a close election and that we need very excellent organization. That is why I am trying to clarify in my own mind the functions at headquarters and have the President see a picture of the organizationas clearly as possible i n order that he may make any sugest ions that he thinks necessary.

Eleanor Roosevelt.

• (

July aa, 1937. Dearest Franklin:

.... " . . . Marion, as you know, is incorporating the

, school on a non-profi~ basis and is starting a ~~ve ~o raise funds, not only from people who~en in the school, br who have had children there; but from friends in general, to build a new school and to create an endow-• ment fund. .

I know this has been done by many other schools, and ordinarily I would not have the slighest hesitancy about signing a letter With her and writing a special ~etter on my own, as she wishes me to do. They are perfectly proper letters, but I a.111. just a little hesitant for fear that as long as you are President, this is not a thing I ought to take part in.

I want to know just what you think about it. Of course, Marion will feel I am letting her down pretty badly if I do not join in, but that can not be helped. I might be able to counteract that by trying to get a broadcast in January, pay my income tax on it, and give a good part of it to the fund. She could then announce it which might help with her own raising of money.

Re MiDDeaotaJ J..-ediateJ

vear Mr s. Roose velt,

1415 Willow St Minneapolis July 16, 1939

To amplify the wire I sent you Friday. You know from the press that. 1.he Uiune sol.a situatlou is tense. \Yhal. per­haps you uo uot know is that. it is al so very muady, and tha t. tbe ver y sou r ces whicn supply t he Pres1dent with info.nna l.ion are euepected here with considerable reason of intentionally f orc­ing bl oodshed and chaos, to diecreditjthe President and New lJeal .

~ . . . .

First, Glotzbuch, State WPA Administrator, reacti onary Democrat, known as anti-labor. While a district organi~er be actively campaigned against the president' s oupreme ~ourt plan. Put into offioe over protests of all liberal forces by Howard Hunter,'(for­merly WPA chief for the thirteen Middle western ~tatee and now Deputy Administrator in the National 'iPA office, and through his experience the "power behind Harrington •_,) s everal co- workers in the K.PA, who are in a position to know, claim that Hunter himself uses left-liberal phrases to conceal a Machiavellian antiHNew Deal sabotage ••• This claim is based on Hunter's inner-office support ove r a period of years, of reactionaries in several states, including hie support of Christgau•s concoction of scandals against the Beneon Administration, and of Glotzbach now •••• These facts I can give if anyone is interested, or I can put any interested person in touch with the ~ sources ••• Just now I feel that 1 myself . can­not adequately judge them; I mention them only so that you may not too uncritically accept HUnter's view of Glotzbach •• Possibly Aubrey Williams might tell you what he thinks of trlotzbach.

The btrike Itself! In the past Hopkins• policy was to close down a p~oject temporarily in case of a l a bor dispute, but not to call in police. Glotzbach chose the most spectacularly emotional project---a Sewing Project employ6dg900 women in two snifts and centrally located nea r places when unem,loyed men con­gregate---and demanded the full police focce of the city, with a rmored cars and tear gas, to keep it open. He interpreted Harring­ton' s five day or der to apply not only to conscious s trike rs but to anyone who dio not want to smash a picket line. He said, in effect to destitute, unorganized women: •smash tha t picketlline or s tarve• ••• A direct , and some people think an intentional, in­citement to bloodshed! Then when Republican Mayor Leach ret"u sed any longer to us(his police to shoot into the crowds , Glotzbach asked for the National Guards and threatened the city with per­manent r emoval of all WPA proj~cts ••• Also a direct incitement to bitter civil strife: •smash your labor movement or lose 'ifPA funds•.

The Strikers l There is a small group of racketeers who have, by controlling teams ters, undue power in L!innet.polis ; t he vu~n7 brothdrs, r unning Local 544 of the Gene r al Driver~ Union (AF.L) . 1heyar e Tro tskyites, anti-Ne:~ Deal, with sub r osa connections with the unclaro~o~ and 111 lh tht~ tlspl hlictt.n mtt.chine. (Proof exists of 1.\iis. )

2

If it had not b~en fo r t hei r incitement, t he strike would have t aken t he form of a "demons tration•, but not of a bitter- end struggl e ; thie was what the workers Alliance, t he wi ser trade­unioni s ts and the communi s ts desired. The Dunne brothers , whose intention is to discredit the New Deal , got the form of the strike confused at the beginning. But, ore e launched , tha strike, is sup­ported by a ll ~~Girmeapolis l abor . The strike 6ommi ttee consists of 5 delegates from the Bu i~ng Trades , 5 from the. 010 , 5 from t he Worker s Alliance , 5 from the Local 544 (Du.nne) and 5 ( au,thorized but not yet app~inted } from the Central La bor Union (AF.L. )

Every phase of the strike thus far has been handled in a way to drive a wedge bet• een Minnesota Labor and the New Deal. Murphy' s alleged refe rence to racketeeri~ labor---later denied by Murphy but the peipers ph.yed down the denial---oaa used to mean , not t he Dunnes , but Minnesot a labor councils . '.e.he President• s statement •You can It Strike Ag&Jiinst the Government•, is inter­preted as making picketing·, for the fi cst time in America, a "federal offense• ••• Roy Weir, organizer for the Central Labor Union, who two ·n eeks ago was attacking the Dunnes on behalr of the New Deal, is now saying that he has "changed his mind if Roose velt is going to outlaw ~trikes and smash t he workers standard of living/throug~ iPA" · Even f armers whom I have met , and who a re leaders of Farmer-La bor locals , express t hemselves as amazed at the Presi dent 9 s statement. Women w~tb eyes still stream~ with taar- ga z beg me to tell them if the President is indeed ou t la'lling their strike, a s the Dunne Brothers and th e reac t ionary pre~s •xx.m exultantly statef.

, The vas t four days h(;.ve sfJrious l y hurt thf:l l~o R Deal force s in Uinne sota. If this was not i ntentional on the part of Glotzbach --and many pepple think.it is and that he is now •on top of the world "---it was criminally stupid. i et I think the s ituation can still be saved by swift action. The strikers, and even their l eaders , want to call it off if there is any way of doing it without sacri ficing their best vcople , who are already ou Us.wed by the five day clause. ulotzbach is the bitter- ender. This must not end by a military submiss ion t o Glotzbach, or even to Har rington; if it does the New Deal' s be&t f orces .?ill be hope l ess ly split, and at1111 dismayed.

~ome gesture , f r om higher up , that r e cognized the esE ential~ loyalty , not only of the workers, but also of their orea niw.tions , - - some confe r ence between Harrin gton ano the Wo ra rs Alliance t hat hel d out an olive branch and le t bygones be bygones , some state­ment f r om Murphy ~ eftly designed to attack not Minneapolis labor , but a "small group of anti-New-Deal dis!'upters tryinE, to se~arate our pl·o_,ressive fo r.:.es ", .1'JUld , f.lven now, put r.ur!lpty .1.1Umi,ty lo .. •t.her agE..in ... :!lu t it mu ::t btr -.uick.
