The M. H. Ross Papers contain information pertaining to labor, politics, social issues of the twentieth century, coal mining and its resulting lifestyle, as well as photographs and audio materials. The collection is made up of five different accessions; L2001-05, which is contained in boxes one through 104, L2002-09 in boxes 106 through 120, L2006-16 in boxes 105 and 120, L2001-01 in boxes 120-121, and L2012-20 in boxes 122-125. The campaign materials consist of items from the 1940 and 1948 political campaigns in which Ross participated. These items include campaign cards, posters, speech transcripts, news clippings, rally materials, letters to voters, and fliers. Organizing and arbitration materials covers labor organizing events from "Operation Dixie" in Georgia, the furniture workers in North Carolina, and the Mine-Mill workers in the Western United States. Organizing materials include fliers, correspondence, news articles, radio transcripts, and some related photos. Arbitration files consist of agreements, decisions, and agreement booklets. The social and political research files cover a wide time period (1930's to the late 1970's/early 1980's). The topics include mainly the Ku Klux Klan, racism, Communism, Red Scare, red baiting, United States history, and literature. These files consist mostly of news and journal articles. Ross interacted with coal miners while doing work for the United Mine Workers Association (UMWA) and while working at the Fairmont Clinic in West Virginia. Included in these related files are books, news articles, journals, UMWA reports, and coal miner oral histories conducted by Ross. Tying in to all of the activities Ross participated in during his life were his research and manuscript files. He wrote numerous newspaper and journal articles on history and labor. Later, as he worked for the UMWA and at the Fairmont Clinic, he wrote more in-depth articles about coal miners, their lifestyle, and medical problems they faced (while the Southern Labor Archives has many of Ross's coal mining and lifestyle articles, it does not have any of his medical articles). Along with these articles are the research files Ross collected to write them, which consist of notes, books, and newspaper and journal articles. In additional to his professional career, Ross was adamant about documenting his and his wife's family history in the oral history format. Of particular interest are the recordings of his interviews with his wife's family - they were workers, musicians, and singers of labor and folk songs. Finally, in this collection are a number of photographs and slides, which include images of organizing, coal mining (from the late 19th through 20th centuries), and Appalachia. Of note is a small photo album from the 1930s which contains images from the Summer School for Workers, and more labor organizing. A few audio items are available as well, such as Ross political speeches and an oral history in which Ross was interviewed by his daughter, Jane Ross Davis in 1986. All photographic and audio-visual materials are at the end of their respective series. ; Myron Howard "Mike" Ross was born November 9, 1919 in New York City. He dropped out of school when he was seventeen and moved to Texas, where he worked on a farm. From 1936 until 1939, Ross worked in a bakery in North Carolina. In the summer of 1938, he attended the Southern School for Workers in Asheville, North Carolina. During the fall of 1938, Ross would attend the first Southern Conference on Human Welfare in Birmingham, Alabama. He would attend this conference again in 1940 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. From 1939 to 1940, Ross worked for the United Mine Workers Non-Partisan League in North Carolina, working under John L. Lewis. He was hired as a union organizer by the United Mine Workers of America, and sent to Saltville, Virginia and Rockwood, Tennessee. In 1940, Ross ran for a seat on city council on the People's Platform in Charlotte, North Carolina. During this time, he also married Anne "Buddie" West of Kennesaw, Georgia. From 1941 until 1945, Ross served as an infantryman for the United States Army. He sustained injuries near the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944. From 1945 until 1949, Ross worked for the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, then part of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), as a union organizer. He was sent to Macon, Georgia, Savannah, Georgia and to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he worked with the United Furniture Workers Union. He began handling arbitration for the unions. In 1948, Ross ran for United States Congress on the Progressive Party ticket in North Carolina. He also served as the secretary for the North Carolina Progressive Party. Ross attended the University of North Carolina law school from 1949 to 1952. He graduated with honors but was denied the bar on the grounds of "character." From 1952 until 1955, he worked for the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers as a union organizer, first in New Mexico (potash mines) and then in Arizona (copper mines). From 1955 to 1957, Ross attended the Columbia University School of Public Health. He worked for the United Mine Workers of America Welfare and Retirement Fund from 1957 to 1958, where he represented the union in expenditure of health care for mining workers. By 1958, Ross began plans for what would become the Fairmont Clinic, a prepaid group practice in Fairmont, West Virginia, which had the mission of providing high quality medical care for miners and their families. From 1958 until 1978, Ross served as administrator of the Fairmont Clinic. As a result of this work, Ross began researching coal mining, especially coal mining lifestyle, heritage and history of coal mining and disasters. He would interview over one hundred miners (coal miners). Eventually, Ross began writing a manuscript about the history of coal mining. Working for the Rural Practice Program of the University of North Carolina from 1980 until 1987, Ross taught in the medical school. M. H. Ross died on January 31, 1987 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. ; Digitization of the M. H. Ross Papers was funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.
Message from Gen. Lázaro Cárdenas to the Mexican people making public his opinion and government goals in view of the agitation by members of various social classes who are damaging the progress of the public administration. Cárdenas states that it is the moment for those who support the socialist movement in Mexico, to take responsibility with the people and to realize that their acts must be based on good faith, selflessness and patriotism. He declares that he has never promoted political division among revolutionary men. To the contrary, his friends and supporters are witnesses of his claims for peace within members of the same group. Those who did not get the appointments they expected have been dedicated themselves to complicate his administration, not only with their intrigues and rumors, but also with reproachable methods of disloyalty and treason. He considers that the strikes by the workers movement are consequence of the readjustment of interests in production, but that he is committed to enforce the laws and the revolutionary program to solve the problem with production. He is determined to accomplish the program of the National Revolutionary Party expressed in the Six Year National Plan. He guarantees to workers and employers legal protection. He will not allow abuses and he trusts that worker and peasant organizations will work with patriotism. Finally, he states that he is aware of his responsibilities and if he has made any mistakes, it was not intentionally. He urges revolutionary men to keep collaborating with him. Presidential message to the nation: national dignity and sovereignty impose themselves to rebellion of oil companies. He addresses the issue created by companies that do not want to obey the laws and declares their expropriation for a common good and for the progress of the country's economy. He makes an account of the issue with the oil companies in Mexico, of their abuses and bad treatment to the national workers. He adds that the only way to defend the national dignity and sovereignty is to expropriate. Despite the issues that this measure will cause in the national and international sphere. President Lázaro Cárdenas signs it. It does not include the place nor the date. This document was donated by Mr. Jaime Kuri in 1936. / Mensaje del Gral. Lázaro Cárdenas al pueblo de México con objeto hacer públicos su opinión y propósitos de gobierno en vista de la agitación manifestada por elementos de diversas clases sociales, en perjuicio de la marcha normal de la administración pública. Afirma Cárdenas que es momento para que todos los que se identifiquen con el movimiento socialista de México, definan y asuman la responsabilidad histórica que han contraído con el pueblo, dándose cuenta de que sus actos deben ceñirse únicamente a la buena fe, al desinterés y al patriotismo. Asegura que él jamás ha instigado divisiones políticas en el seno del grupo de hombres de la Revolución, al contrario, sus amigos y partidarios son testigos de que él siempre ha aconsejado serenidad a varios elementos del mismo grupo que por no haber obtenido los puestos que esperaban se han dedicado a dificultar su gobierno, no sólo con sus intrigas y murmuraciones sino que han recurrido a métodos reprobables de deslealtad y traición. En cuanto a los problemas que se han presentado con los trabajadores y que han provocado movimientos huelguísticos, él considera que son consecuencia del reajuste de intereses representados por los dos factores de la producción, pero que él está resuelto a obrar en forma enérgica para que se cumplan las leyes y el programa emanado de la Revolución para reglamentar el problema del equilibrio de la producción, que está decidido a llevar a término el programa del Partido Nacional Revolucionario contenido en el Plan Sexenal y reitera a trabajadores y patrones que a todos se impartirán garantías y la protección de la ley, que no se permitirán abusos y que tiene confianza en que las organizaciones de obreros y campesinos sabrán actuar con patriotismo. Finalmente declara que está consciente de sus responsabilidades, que si ha cometido errores no son por perversidad ni mala fe y exhorta a los hombres de la Revolución a seguir colaborando con el Ejecutivo. Mensaje Presidencial a la Nación: la dignidad y la soberanía de la patria se imponen ante la rebeldía de las empresas petroleras. Plantea el problema creado por las compañías que no acatan nuestras leyes y declara su expropiación por causa del bien común y para la buena marcha de la economía del país. Hace una historia del desarrollo del conflicto, de las compañías petroleras en México, de sus abusos y mal trato a los trabajadores nacionales y añade que el único camino para defender nuestra dignidad y soberanía es aplicando la Ley de Expropiación a pesar de las dificultades y problemas que esta medida provocaría tanto en el ámbito nacional como internacional. Firmado por el Presidente de la República Lázaro Cárdenas. No tiene fecha ni lugar de procedencia. El documento fue donado a este Archivo por el Sr. Jaime Kuri en 1936.

Translations of press articles, letters, commentary, memorandums and unrelated documents, that are gathered in a file title "Classified information". Its content is about politics, critiques to the government of President Cárdenas, relations between Mexico and the United States and speeches. Letter from Gen. Agustín Olachea, delegate of Tijuana, Baja California to Gen. Plutarco Elías Calles who is in Honolulu, Hawaii. He informs that he was in Mexico City and that President Cárdenas dismissed him from his appointment. He will be replaced by Gen. Gilgardo Magaña. He also informs that he transmited Gen. PEC's message to the President but he replied that he had already ordered to stop the "chismografía" campaign (gossip). He expresses that he does not know if the situation is due to a government policy to eliminate his friends or due to his friends' attitude. Either way, the situation is worsen. Finally, he informs that he visited the children and that they miss him but they are fine. He is leaving to Tehuacán to have a break and then work on his mining business. Bill sent by President Gen. Lázaro Cárdenas and Secretary of Finance Eduardo Suárez to the Congress, so it can be added a law for national assets. Said law establishes the assets for public services and buildings assigned by the President for public works, although private institutions carry the works out. Article without date nor place, signed by Luis del Toro and titled "Calles and his Work", in which the author exposes the campaign against Gen. Plutarco Elías Calles. Within the campaign they praised his works but also condemned him as a person without considering that those two aspects cannot be separated. He considers irrational the attitude of many individualx who say they are engaged with Calles' project, such as the Six Year Plan and organizations created by him like the PNR, but at the same time, they denigrate and persecute Calles and his supporters. Translation of the letter publish in the Los Angeles Examiner on October 27, 1935 sent by Reverend Charles L. Brooks from the First Methodist Church in Mangum, OK to President Roosevelt and that is titled "The New Program is infested with Socialism". According to the translator, this document is written with biblical language and reveals a deep knowledge of the economic issues. Reverend Brooks thanks for the good things during Roosevelt's administration but warns against socialism, which is getting more supporters. He recognizes that Roosevelt's intentions are not socialist but his actions indeed are. He lists some of the actions like the taxes on industrial management, the Guffey Bill on coal and the Wagner-Connery labor Bill that privileges majorities. He points out the ineptitude, mismanagement and waste of political advisers. He tags the social security legislation as complicated and socialist. He attributes the disaster to the economic policy installed. Letter with illegible signature that could belong to Abelardo L. Rodríguez. It does not include the recipient and is dated on Mexico City on November 1935. It is a reply to a letter sent regarding "President Van Beuren" with opinions about the recipient's trips to China and Japan. The author informs the recipient of personal matters and the progress of public affairs in the country. Regarding the personal matters, he mentions the trial of Díaz and the judicial process. He informs about paperwork with the Secretariat of Communications for the itineraries of "El Sauzal" and the annulation of the contract for not meeting the requirements established in the law of roads of communication. He mentions that Secretary Múgica gave instructions to the Department of Navy to pass the affairs with Gaxiola to the court, which shows hostility and partiality. Regarding the national situation, he expresses that it is increasingly worse and anarchic. The President is ill of brucellosis and is very weak. Portes Gil is inciting agrarian movements and is apparently allied with Cedillo. Múgica, committed to demagogic excesses, informs that Melchor spoke in Washington with Ambassador Castillo Nájera, who recently had been invited by President Roosevelt to the White House. He was informed that the U.S. government would take measures to solve the religious conflict in Mexico, since many foreigners had asked the U.S. government to define its position. In view of this threat, Cárdenas ordered to reopen the temples in Sonora. Regarding the land grant, the U.S. government is suspicious, according to what was informed to Castillo Nájera. It is known that a group of generals is upset with the president's policy, so dissatisfaction is extended and divisions are evident. He advises to be careful and offers to see him in New York. He informs that he is sending a copy of the letter to Gen. Plutarco Elías Calles who is in San Diego. He says goodbye and sends greetings to Lalo and … (it continues in the next record) / Traducciones de artículos de prensa, cartas, comentario, memorándums, documentos sin relación entre sí, reunidos en un archivo titulado "Confidencial" cuyo contenido es en general sobre política, críticas al gobierno del Presidente Cárdenas, relaciones México-Estados Unidos, discursos. Carta del Gral. Agustín Olachea, delegado del gobierno en Tijuana, Territorio Norte de Baja California al Gral. PEC que se encuentra en Honolulu, Hawaii, informándole que estuvo en la ciudad de México y que el Presidente lo relevó del cargo que desempeñaba y que lo va a sustituir el Gral. Gildardo Magaña; que trasmitió al Presidente su mensaje y que él le dijo que ya había ordenado se suspendiera la campaña de chismografía. Le manifiesta que no sabe si la situación se deba a una política de gobierno para eliminar a todos sus amigos o la actitud de sus amigos, pero que la situación empeora. Por último le comunica que visitó a los niños, que lo extrañan pero que están bien y que él se va a Tehuacán a descansar para después dedicarse a su negocio de minas. Iniciativa que el Presidente Gral. Lázaro Cárdenas y el Secretario de Hacienda Eduardo Suárez envían al Congreso de la Unión para adicionar la ley de bienes inmuebles de la nación, del 18 de diciembre de 1902, por la cual se quedan equiparados a los bienes destinados a un servicio público los predios o edificios que el Ejecutivo Federal destine a una obra de interés social, aunque la misma esté a cargo de entidades privadas. Artículo sin fecha ni lugar, firmado por Luis del Toro y titulado "Calles y su obra" en el que el autor denuncia la campaña emprendida contra el Gral. PEC, ya que si bien alaban su obra pública condenan a su persona sin tomar en consideración que el hombre es indivisible de su obra; por ello es irracional la actitud de muchos individuos afines al régimen que se dicen comprometidos con los proyectos de Calles como el Plan Sexenal y las organizaciones por él creadas como el PNR; pero lo denigran como persona y lo persiguen a él y a sus partidarios y amigos. Traducción de carta publicada en LOS ANGELES EXAMINER, el 27 de octubre de 1935, que le dirige el Rvdo. Charles L. Brooks de la First Methodist Church de Mangum, Oklahoma al Presidente Roosevelt y que se titula "El nuevo programa está plagado de socialismo". Este documento, según hace constar el traductor, está escrito en lenguaje bíblico y revela un profundo conocimiento de los problemas económicos; agradece todo lo bueno que ha dado la administración de Roosevelt pero le previene contra el socialismo que cada vez gana más adeptos; reconoce que sus intenciones no son socialistas pero insiste en que sus acciones sí lo son y enumera algunas de ellas como el impuesto sobre procedimientos industriales; la iniciativa Guffey sobre el carbón; la iniciativa laboral Wagner-Connery que privilegia a las mayorías para contratar colectivamente en perjuicio de las minorías; acusa la ineptitud, mala administración y desperdicio de algunos consejeros políticos, al Presidente; tacha de complicada y socialista la legislación del Seguro Social; augura el desastre por la política económica instaurada.
