Abstract
The West Virginia Labor Federation AFL-CIO, which was formed in 1958, includes the records of those organizations which preceded it: the West Virginia Industrial Union Council (CIO) and the West Virginia State Federation of Labor, unofficially and more commonly known as the West Virginia Federation of Labor (AFL). There is from the AFL affiliate Congressional correspondence; officers' files (president and secretary-treasurer); delegate convention files; financial records; auditors' reports; and the records of allied trade unions and labor councils. The presidential files include the correspondence of Tom Cairnes (1938-40) and E.A. Carter (1945-57). There are general files of the state headquarters including those of the executive board and of the educational department. Also there are the records of the Parkersburg Central Trades and Labor Council (1924-42) and of the Wheeling Typographical Union, No. 79 (1904-07, 1921). The files of the West Virginia Industrial Union Council, CIO (1937-57) contain executive secretary-treasurer files, financial records, and central office correspondence.
