1Title:  Cleveland Newspaper Guild, Local 1 Photographs     
 Creator:  Cleveland Newspaper Guild, Loca 1 
 Dates:  1936-1963 
 Abstract:  Local 1 of the Cleveland Newspaper Guild was first chartered in 1934 as the Cleveland, Ohio, local of the American Newspaper Guild, founded in 1933. Editorial employees of the Cleveland Press and Cleveland News had previously organized in 1933 as the Cleveland Editorial Workers Association, which then united with other newspaper guilds to form the American Newspaper Guild. The first contract of the national Guild was successfully negotiated in 1934 with the Cleveland News by William Davy, executive secretary of Local #1 for its first 30 years. By 1935, the Guild had adopted the industrial-union form of organization and in 1937, Local #1 expanded to include all non-mechanical employees. By 1944, the guild included workers at the Cleveland Plain Dealer and the Catholic Universe Bulletin, followed by the Cleveland Citizen, Cleveland Union Leader, Call & Post, and others. In 1968 the Canton Repository became a unit of Local #1, and in 1969 the Massillon Evening Independent local merged with the guild. Cleveland hosted the 50th anniversary convention of the national Guild in 1983, when members voted to merge with the International Typographical Union to form the Media Workers International Union. The collection consists of individual and group portraits of Newspaper Guild members, and scenes of Guild activities; including meetings, parties, reunions, newspaper production, conventions, and strikes. Individuals pictured include Louis B. Seltzer, Lloyd White, Ray Bruner, Garland Ashcraft, William Davy, and others.
