THE CARL HAESSLER COLLECTION Papers, 1908-1972

11 linear feet 1 scrapbook

Accession Number: 31 LC Number: MS

The papers of Carl Haessler were placed in the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs in two installments. The first was donated in November of 1972 and the second after Mr. Haessler's death in December of that year by his wife, Lucy Haessler. The two sections of the collection were integrated and processing was completed in December 1978.

Carl Haessler was born 5 August 1888 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His father was a builder's hardware contractor and his mother was a teacher in the Milwaukee school system. Carl attended public school in Milwaukee and graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a Bachelor Degree in Latin in 1911. It was also in this year that he was awarded a Rhodes scholarship. From 1911 to 1914 Carl attended Balliol College Oxford. During his years at Oxford, Haessler became interested in the socialist movement and joined the Fabian Socialists.

Returning to the United States in 1914, Haessler became a member of the American Socialist Party. He also began a teaching career in the Philosophy Department of Illinois University. He received his PhD upon completion of his thesis, "The Failure of Scottish Realism." In 1917 Illinois dismissed Haessler from his post for his political activity against American involvement in World War I.

For one year Haessler was employed by Victor Berger, editor of the labor-socialist paper, the Milwaukee Leader. In June 1918 Haessler was drafted into the army. Carl accepted the drafting, but in bootcamp refused to put on the army uniform. The military court-martialed him under the Articles of War. Carl received a twelve year sentence at hard labor. He served two years in Fort Leavenworth and Alcatraz before his sentence was commuted by Presidential pardon in August 1920.

Haessler returned to the Milwaukee Leader for a short period before joining the staff of the Federated Press. The FP was formed by labor and liberal editors at the national "Farm-Labor" conference held in Chicago in the fall of 1919. In 1922 Haessler becam managing editor and secretary-treasurer, holding these positions until the organization became dormant in 1956.

In 1937, at the behest of the CIO, Haessler became the union's public and press relations man in Flint, Michigan during the sitdown strikes. He also served the labor movement by editing the United Auto Worker until 1941 and for nineteen years edited Tool & Die Engineering News. Haessler also founded or edited many UAW locals' papers.

Carl Haessler Collection -2-

In 1963 Haessler established a draft counseling service to aid objectors being drafted into the Vietnam War. His other activities included lecturing and writing articles. Haessler died 8 December 1972 after a long illness.

The papers of Carl Haessler reflect both his personal and professional activities described above. A more complete documentation of the Federated Press can be obtained at Columbia University where Haessler donated one hundred FP correspondence file drawers in 1957.

Important subjects and personalities covered in the collection are:

Non-manuscript material Approximately 50 photographs of a personal and professional nature, i.e. Haessler, as dozens of cartoon impressions for the FP have been placed in the Archives' Audio-Visual Collections. Numerous books and pamphlets covering labor education have been placed in the Archives' Library. A list of library materials is located later in this guide, (pp. 17-19).

The Archives also holds two oral interview records done with Carl Haessler. The first interview was done in 1959-1960 by Jack W. Skeels as part of the oral history project on the UAW done by the University of Michigan - Wayne State University Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations. A transcript of that interview is available for research under certain restrictions. The second interview was done by Haessler's son-in-law, Wallace McLay. It deals more fully with Haessler's own life, especially before the mid-1930s, whereas the Skeels interview focuses on Haessler's account of UAW history in the 1930s and 1940s. The second interview is available only on tape, but an index to the tape has been made.

Two scrapbooks, one containing clippings and documents describing the functioning of the Federated Press and the other containing clippings documenting the struggle to oust Homer Martin from the UAW presidency, have been photocopied for the collection.
