- Description:
- This collection was generated by Lansing publisher and sports enthusiast Virgil Vandenburg primarily during the time he published the "Lansing Labor News" and the "Capitol Bulletin." There is a great deal of advertising related correspondence and sample material. Virgil Vandenburg was involved in recreation-league athletics and especially became a leader in chess activities, though his chess related information is not strongly represented in the collection. The collection includes considerable automotive industry promotional material, information on local, state, and federal labor/civil service issues, other sample publications, information on local clubs and organizations, and some personal material. There are runs of alphabetical subject and correspondence files, and a section of portrait photographs included in the collection as well.

- 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.
