- 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.
