The company produced knit goods, including sweaters, and also supplied fabric to the garment-making industry. The company's national accounts included Sears, Roebuck & Co., Montgomery Ward, and Marshall Field & Co. At its height, the company employed five hundred people at its 125,000 square foot plant. Following the passage of the National Labor Relations Act in 1937, several unions attempted to replace the Cooperative Workers Association, the company union for Federal Knitting Mills. An ensuing strike related to this matter seriously strained the company's finances. Federal Knitting Mills dissolved in December 1937. The collection consists of audit reports, balance sheets, correspondence, legal documents, minutes, newspaper clippings, and a scrapbook. http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS5051.xml Wed, 01 Jan 2014 12:00:00 GMT http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=marc/skclmarc202890322046876.mrc http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=marc/skclmarc202890322046876.mrc Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS4168.xml The Lorain City Federation of labor was the central labor body of the American Federation of Labor in Lorain, Ohio prior to its merger with the Elyria AFL and the Lorain County CIO in 1961.
