COLLECTION DESCRIPTION

The papers of John R. Steelman document his entire career as a scholar, college professor, labor-management conciliator, government official, consultant, and publisher. They mostly consist of materials that Steelman accumulated during his years of service with the federal government, beginning in 1934 and ending in 1953.

The papers of John R. Steelman are comprised of ten series. The first series, the Harry S. Truman File, contains correspondence, newspaper clippings, printed material, memoranda, and other items relating to President Truman. Included in this series are copies of many congratulatory letters (apparently drafted by Steelman and his staff) from the President to labor unions that were holding conventions or celebrating anniversaries, and copies of some post-presidential letters from Steelman to Truman. The series also contains information about such topics as the renovation of the White House during the Truman administration and the activities of the Truman Centennial Committee in 1984.

The second series, the Appointment File, contains Steelman's daily appointment schedules, both typed and handwritten, for the period from 1944 to 1987 (although there are only a few intermittent schedules for the years after 1953). Included are desk calendars, appointment diaries, and notes regarding telephone calls, business to be transacted, and requests for appointments, as well as drafts of some related letters and memoranda. The material in the Appointment File is especially informative concerning Steelman's activities during the Truman administration; his meetings with labor and business leaders as well as reporters and government officials; and his involvement in the major strikes of the period. However, the schedules usually do not provide detailed information about what went on at Steelman's meetings.>/p>

The third series, Christmas Gifts, contains lists of Christmas presents given and received by Steelman, along with lists of names and addresses, and related correspondence. Included in this series is information about Steelman's gifts to various staff members and other employees at the White House.

The next series, the Chronological Copies File, is the largest series in the collection. It contains copies of Steelman's outgoing correspondence from October 1945 (when he became a Special Assistant in the Truman White House) to June 1952. Also included are some letters from others, memoranda, and copies of speeches and public statements. Beginning in 1947, the series is divided into official and personal correspondence. Although most of the official correspondence relates to Steelman's work as Assistant to the President, there are separate subject headings for material pertaining to his temporary assignments as acting head of the National Security Resources Board and the Office of Defense Mobilization, and as coordinator of federal efforts to relieve unemployment during the 1949 recession. Not surprisingly, the series contains a great deal of information about strikes and labor-management mediation. It also includes a small amount of material documenting Steelman's post-Truman administration activities, from 1954 to 1964.

The fifth series, Coal and Railroad Strikes, contains teletyped news reports on developments in the coal and railroad strikes of 1946. The sixth series, Congratulatory Letters on Retirement from the Department of Labor, consists of letters Steelman received, upon his resignation as Director of the U.S. Conciliation Service in 1944, from acquaintances and admirers in business, labor, government, and academia.

The seventh series, the Scrapbook File, is the second largest in the collection. It contains documentation of Steelman's activities from 1933 to 1985 (although most of the material dates from 1945 to 1953). Included are newspaper clippings, other printed material, correspondence, memoranda, speeches, programs, news teletypes, and other items. The material in this series provides considerable information concerning Steelman's career as a labor-management mediator, from his early years with the U.S. Conciliation Service during the New Deal to his involvement in the major strikes that disrupted the coal, railroad, and steel industries during the Truman administration. Included are many articles written by Steelman on labor and economic issues. Also included are scripts for "Battle Report-Washington," a televised news program on which Steelman frequently appeared during the early 1950s. The contents of the Scrapbook File were assembled for preservation in numerically arranged scrapbooks; it appears, however, that the materials were never actually placed in scrapbooks.

The Subject File, the eighth series in the collection, contains a variety of materials documenting Steelman's life and career, ranging from school papers that he wrote in the early 1920s to the transcript of a 1990 oral history interview with Steelman. The series includes declassified letters and memoranda from his years in the White House, congratulatory letters received after the 1948 campaign, notes on a few Cabinet meetings, published articles by and about Steelman, and an outline of a book that he planned to write about his public career. Also included are photographs, newspaper clippings on a variety of topics, and Christmas cards that Steelman received from such prominent persons as Averell Harriman, Hubert Humphrey, and Bob Hope.

The ninth series, the Speech and Press Release File, contains copies of speeches made by Steelman from 1938 to 1963. For Steelman's White House years, the speeches are in the form of press releases as well as typed reading copies. Many of the speeches were delivered to labor unions and business groups. Also included in the series are lists of Steelman's speaking engagements and materials that Steelman apparently accumulated while preparing his speeches: notes, outlines, published items, and assorted quotes, quips, and anecdotes. The series also contains White House press releases on a variety of topics, and copies of speeches delivered by President Truman and other public figures.

The Personal File is the tenth series in the collection, and includes material relating to many aspects of Steelman's life, including his early academic career and his work as a consultant and newspaper publisher after he left the White House. The items of interest in this series include a thesis submitted by Steelman to satisfy the requirements for a Bachelor of Divinity degree from Vanderbilt University in 1925; the 1934 Alabama College yearbook; congratulatory letters received by Steelman when he established his consulting business in Washington in 1953; transcripts of several oral history interviews with Steelman; and a long article by Steelman entitled, "So You Want To Be President." Also included are Steelman's letters of resignation from various government posts, and some information on his family history.

More information about Dr. John R. Steelman can be found at the Truman Library in the Staff Member and Office Files of the Harry S. Truman Papers, specifically in the files of John R. Steelman and his assistants, Fleur Fenton, James V. Fitzgerald, John T. Gibson, Dallas C. Halverstadt, Charles W. Jackson, and Spencer R. Quick. The Library also has two transcribed oral history interviews with Steelman. Other relevant manuscript collections include the papers of George Elsey, Charles Murphy, and James Webb.
