- Description:
- Materials related to the events of the C.I.O. sit-down strikes and the "labor holiday" on June 7th, 1937. The group includes newspaper articles and a personal statement of Chief Seymour handwritten by him and typed with slight revisions. Strikes in Lansing occurred at the REO plant, the Capitol City Wrecking and Lumber Company, with threats of action at other locations in the city. On the "labor holiday" itself, City Hall, the Knapps department store, and many other businesses were closed due to the various threats. A crowd threatened to attack the jail to break out prisoners being held on strike-related charges, and Seymour was not supported by the Mayor, the State Police, the Governor, Prosecutors, or Judges in his attempts to prevent incident, though it was ultimately resolved without bloodshed.

- Description:
- This collection contains materials collected by Alfred Seymour related to his career in the Detroit Police Department and Lansing Police Department. While in Detroit, he provided security services for the evangelist Billy Sunday at a revival meeting in Buffalo, New York, in about 1917. Materials related to this event are included, as are extensive materials about his activities with the International Chiefs of Police, including correspondence with and about J. Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. One collection highlight is Seymour's personal statement reporting his activities during the "Labor Holiday" in Lansing on July 7, 1937. A crowd threatened to attack his jail to break out eight persons held there for strike-related activities. Seymour describes his isolation after failing to obtain support from the Mayor of Lansing, the Michigan State Police, the Governor, prosecutors, and judges. The incident was ultimately resolved without bloodshed. Seymour also collected materials from his involvement with the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police. The collection includes newspaper clippings, photographs, memorabilia, and two personal scrapbooks.
