THE MAURICE SUGAR COLLECTION

Papers, 1907-1973 58 1/2 Linear Feet

Accession Number 232

Maurice Sugar was one of the first American lawyers to become what is now known as a "Labor Lawyer." Before he was made Chief Legal Counsel of the United Automobile Workers, a post he held between 1937 and 1948, he had practiced as a labor lawyer and defender of the poor since 1914.

Born in Brimley, Michigan in 1891, he was educated in the Detroit school system. He graduated from the University of Michigan Law School where he was Editor of the Michigan Law Review. In 1914 he and Jane Mayer were married. She later became Supervisor of Elementary School Physical Education for the City of Detroit.

Sugar's first client in 1914 was the Detroit Typographical Union (AFL), and before his work with the UAW he represented nearly all Detroit area unions including the Detroit and Wayne County Federations of Labor (AFL) and various AFL international unions. During the Tool and Die Makers Strike of 1913 he handled over two-hundred cases in the courts.

During World War I Sugar was indicted and convicted in a conspiracy trial (1917-1918), as he was a pacifist, but he was subsequently readmitted to the bar and pardoned. Active during his youth in the Socialist Party he later became an important spokesman for what were then considered "left wing" causes, including civil rights and racial equality. He was one of the founders of the National Lawyers Guild and an early advocate of pensions, unemployment compensation, social security and other such measures. He was singled out for provocation and even death by the notorious Black Legion, a Michigan-Ohio organization similar to the Ku Klux Klan.

Sugar's work as UAW counsel saw him through many of the high points of the UAW history of which he was a part. These are also reflected in the collection. He represented executive board members whom Homer Martin tried to expel and was strongly involved in the local unions' litigation which was an important part of the factional power struggle. The sit-down strikes and the union organization of the Ford Motor Company, and litigation with it, were other important episodes of UAW history in which he participated until 1948, when he was dismissed.

He continued in private practice, and with his civil rights interests, and his lifelong pleasure in writing songs until and even after his retirement. He died at age eighty-two in 1974.

The Maurice Sugar Collection

A list of publications from the Sugar Collection that have been placed with the holdings of the Archives Library is included with this guide, just before the index.

2

The index includes major correspondents and subjects of the Sugar Collection and lists most pamphlets that were left in the collection because of special relevance.

Photographs and display items are deposited in the Archives Audio-Visual Department. Printed convention materials and reports, are, with many of the publications, also in the Archives Library.

Note should be taken that the clippings included in several different parts of the collection were the special effort of Maurice Sugar. Arranged on a day to day basis they were selected from Detroit and other newspapers and with a special discernment as to what would, at least later, constitute a matter of historical significance.

Among the subjects covered in the collection are:

George Addes Automobile Labor Board Black Legion Clippings of Interest Conventions (UAW) Election Campaigns (Sugar's) Factionalism Foley Square Trial, 1950-51

Other subjects will be found in the index.

Ford Motor Company Union Organizing Injunctions Legal Services to UAW Homer Martin Walter Reuther Sit-Down Strikes Songs by Maurice Sugar Sugar Conspiracy Trial Sugar Diary

Major correspondence can be located through the index. Among many others) correspondents include George Addes, George Crockett, Ernest Goodman, Homer Martin, Wyndham Mortimer, Lee Pressman, Walter P. Reuther, and Bud Reynolds. See the index for others.

Papers having to do with Maurice Sugar's interest in and work with the National Lawyers Guild will be found at the Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute at Berkeley, California. A partial listing of those holdings (about 3 1/2 l.f.) is appended at the end of this guide.
