	John Brophy An inventory of the John Brophy Papers at The American Catholic History Research Center and University ...
		Brophy was a mainstay in the CIO national office during its entire 20 year existence as an independent labor federation.
		Brophy finished a draft of an autobiographical manuscript that was later edited and rewritten with the help of John Hall and published as John Brophy: Miner's Life, (1964), a year after Brophy died in 1963.
		Brophy's role in the establishment of CIO state and local industrial union councils and their maintenance can be seen, particularly the CIO's involvement in the factional struggle in the Los Angeles IUC.

	Harry Frankel: John L. Lewis (1950) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The attempts of labor historians and Lewis biographers to unravel the “mysteries” of Lewis are doomed to failure so long as they hinge their analysis on purely personal interpretations: Lewis is an “egomaniac,” Lewis is “power-mad,” Lewis is “stubborn.” An epoch of history cannot be understood in terms of one man’s characteristics.
		John L. Lewis is today the chief protagonist of the following idea within the union movement: that labor must break the shackles that bind it to the government apparatus and proceed to fight for its demands unhampered by any ties which would restrict it.
		While he still dreamed of a labor movement of 40,000,000 members, the powerful ascension of labor in the political realm with himself perhaps at the apex, capitalism commanded the labor movement to fall into retreat, and transform itself from an independent power to a mere auxiliary of the war machine.

	John L. Lewis
		It remained for another group of labor leaders, including some who were born in the coal fields, to recognize the needs and desires of the unskilled.
		In their preoccupation with a minimum living wage, neither John Mitchell for the miners nor Samuel Gompers for the craftsmen (see CURRENT HISTORY) was primarily concerned with a “fair” wage for labor in general.
		John L. Lewis was born on February 12, 1880, in the coal mining community of Lucas, Iowa.

	Philip Murray: Biographical Portrait of a Union Man
		He permitted the state to set workers’ wage and entitlement policies, but at the same time yielded to a pluralist consensus that institutionalized the union hierarchy and required the rank and file to ‘lie down like good dogs’ since the union had a seat at the Corporatist Table and was working to accommodate their needs.
		But the little interest labor leaders and workers in all industries demonstrated toward the idea of a labor party were revealed in the election results: the party’s best showing was in non-industrial areas.
		Among the classic works of Catholic literature is St. John of the Cross’ DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL, a journey of the spirit passing through the dark labyrinths of worldly trials and tribulations and the redemptive burn-off of sin.

	Working Hard or Har... :: Dissent Winter 2005 Issue
		During the 1926 campaign for Mine Workers president, Lewis bullied key dissidents into withdrawing their support for John Brophy, his fiercely democratic opponent, and several members of Brophy's slate who wouldn't drop off the ticket were arbitrarily thrown off by union election officers.
		As a result, labor is connecting with broader social movements in a way it hasn't since the 1930s; these new connections, Fantasia and Voss hope, could build the base for labor's revival.
		Clawson says bluntly that "top-down changes won't reverse [labor's] slide." His argument stems from the belief that labor's last upsurge-the dramatic growth of unions in the 1930s-was built, and led, from the bottom up.

	From Crimson to Coal Seam
		Sixteen years Hapgood's senior, Brophy was a class-conscious, self-educated immigrant from Britain who cultivated ties with urban intellectuals and rallied the rank and file around demands for nationalization of the mines and democratization of the national union.
		Brophy, Hapgood and other militants denounced this as a betrayal--and launched the "Save the Union" movement as a platform for Brophy's run against Lewis for the union presidency.
		Both he and Brophy were driven out of the UMW and forced, at one point, to seek work at the "model company" run by Hapgood's father.

		Since Communists and their allies pioneered in advancing progressive racial policies, both in the labor movement and in society at large, the growing anti-Communist thrust of the CIO had powerful repercussions in the civil rights field.
		The generation of labor activists who built and shaped the CIO were perforce involved in some of the twentieth century's most desperate struggles.
		In addition, the John Brophy papers and the CIO collection at the Archives of Catholic University of America yielded several minutes for the pre-1942 period that were not held by the Reuther Library.

	Walter Reuther
		John Mitchell, John Brophy, John L. Lewis and even, in a slightly different sense, Samuel Gompers, all were interested primarily in higher money wages for the men they represented.
		Gradually, however, a new type of labor leader is appearing in the United States: educated, intellectual, and often sharply differentiated from the laboring men he represents.
		Labor will not make progress toward the high standard of living it is able to produce so long as it seeks to advance its own interests without regard to the interests of all other workers and of the community of which it is a part.

		Virtually all of the major American labor leaders from the 1930s through the 1950s—including William Green, John L. Lewis, Walter Reuther, John Brophy, Sidney Hillman, Philip Murray, and John Walker—are present either as correspondents or as the subjects of correspondence.
		Although he was joined by such exceptional labor leaders as Sidney Hillman and David Dubinsky of the clothing trades, Harvey Fremming of the Oil Workers, and Charles P. Howard of the International Printers and Pressmen, Lewis was by general consensus the national leader of the new federation.
		This latter topic is treated in extensive detail, with rich material on the UMWA’s negotiations toward reaffiliation with the older federation in 1946 and Lewis’s subsequent disaffiliation with the AFL in the wake of the federation’s refusal to follow his advice to ignore the anticommunist provisions of the Taft-Hartley Act.
