National Union of Conservative & Unionist Associations

Gleanings and Memoranda / 23 Bound Volumes

London, National Union of Conservative & Unionist Associations, 1931. Hardcover. Royal 8vo. The original volumes bear the round rubber stamp of the National Union of Conservative & Unionist Association Reference and Political Library, and most have the bookplate of political science scholar Prof. Michael Kinnear on the inside front board. All volumes show some wear, the binding of several volumes is rough, one volume (LXIX) is broken, but intact. The boards on several of the facsimile volumes are bowed. The contents throughout are almost unmarked and complete. Nine of the 23 volumes are facsimile reproductions, bound in wine-red buckram similar in colour, and identical in size, to the 14 original volumes, and with the text printed on one side of each page only (in these facsimile volumes). Each volume has a comprehensive index (organised by subject and name) and covers a period of six months. Topics covered include political events, 'of interest to women', government actions and legislation, and other topics in the news for the particular month covered. At a guess, each month is about 150 pages in length.The National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations was a federation of the voluntary wing of the British Conservative Party. It was founded in 1867 and was the formal national Conservative association. It was replaced in 1998 by the National Conservative Convention. .

Potofsky, Jacob (1894-1979). Ukranian-American trade unionist who served as the second president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union of America.

Typed Letter Signed by the President of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America Jacob Potofsky.

New York, February 28, 1972. 1972. - Over 60 words typed on 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America stationery. Potofsky replies to a letter from Seymour Halpern regarding the "proposed Commission on International Trade and the Environment". He mentions that "I have received a copy of a letter on this subject sent to you by George Taylor of the AFL-CIO staff." and states that he would like to be "associated with Mr. Taylor's views." Signed "Jacob Potofsky" as the union's president. Folded for mailing with creases to the edges and corners. There is a paper clip stain and staple holes at the top left. Very good. Noted for his ability to reconcile differences within unions and between unions and employers, the Ukrainian-born American labor leader Jacob Potofsky (1894-1979) was close to Sidney Hillman whom he succeeded as President of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America's union. He was on Nixon's master list of political opponents. The Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law, including measures on schools, housing, civil rights, nutrition and mental health. A Liberal, he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City, and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits, including painting and collecting autographs, he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these, he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation. Very good .
