Description
An issue titled as: A preliminary survey of the boilermen's dispute at Minidoka. The document reports about the boilermen labor difficulty which had been brewing since July 1943 and flared into the open with the close of 1943, when the boilermen group decided to resign rather than work under a new setup entailing a 24-hour schedule. Because of this problem, the residents at Minidoka were left without hot water from January 5 to January 11. The collection contains material used by Carey McWilliams in writing the book, Prejudice: Japanese Americans, symbol of racial intolerance (Little, Brown, 1944). It includes U.S. War Relocation Authority records, confidential reports, bibliographies, clippings and compilations of articles, legal papers, correspondence between McWilliams and Japanese American evacuees, relocation camp newspapers and other publications, two copies of his book, and five copies of the 1994 videocassette (40 min.), Something Strong Within.
