Chrysler executive who took over as president of the company after Walter Chrysler’s death in 1940. TLS, two pages, 8.5 x 11, Chrysler letterhead, April 3, 1941. Letter to MGM executive Eddie Mannix regarding labor disputes in the auto industry. In part: “Right now, the spotlight is certainly on the Ford Motor Company. They have had considerable violence there; the plant has definitely shut down as of today with the company agreeing with the Governor’s request to keep it closed through the period of negotiation… Following their usual practice, the CIO have always managed to find some sort of an issue to whip into high pressure and very often violence preceding an election. They apparently feel it is an important part of campaigning for the CIO votes and the results of the elections in the past succeeding these periods of violence are such as to give them ample reason to believe they are psychologically the right thing to do. In any event, this is the largest labor difficulty that has hit this country this year. I think it has in it more potential for crystallizing public opinion than even the coal strike… Henry Ford has always been very much on the plus side of labor, and yet I suppose we who have read a little bit of history should not be surprised that people really bite the hand that feeds them.” In fine condition, with a uniform shade of mild toning to the first page, mild scattered wrinkling, a small pencil notation to the bottom right corner of first page, and staple holes to the upper left.
