Abstract:

Papers, bulk 1936-1954, of Luke Wilson, an investigator, researcher, campaign worker, and freelance writer. Included are investigative and background materials used as evidence for the Senate Subcommittee of the Committee on Education and Labor (1936-1940) in its investigation of oppressive labor practices of agricultural companies in California. Also included are publications of the Army Morale Services Division (1942-1946), which later became the Information and Education Division, some of which Wilson either researched or helped write as well as materials related to Wilson's testimony before the Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security, which was investigating Communist activity in the U.S. government and army. In addition, there is extensive material for both the Progressive Party and the American Labor Party (1948-1953), focusing on 1948 presidential candidate, Henry Wallace, and 1949 New York mayoral candidate, Vito Marcantonio.
