Size 154.5 feet of linear shelf space (approximately 98,000 items)
Abstract The Southern Tenant Farmers' Union, organized at Poinsett County, Ark., in 1934, was especially active in Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas. The Union spread into the southeastern states and to California, affiliating off and on with larger national labor federations, and maintaining headquarters at Memphis, Tenn., or, from 1948 to 1960, at Washington, D.C. It has become successively the National Agricultural Workers Union and the Agricultural and Allied Workers Union. The collection includes correspondence files of H. L. Mitchell and others at union headquarters at Memphis, Tenn., Washington, D.C., and in Louisiana; executive committee minutes, legal papers, surveys, annual reports, special reports, membership records, applications for local charters, financial records, and contracts; data on conventions, strikes, litigation, and legislation; histories and articles; clippings; relevant mimeographed and printed matter; and miscellaneous forms, lists, and routine local organization papers. The papers concern union organizing, financing, relationships with various federal agencies, strikes, legal defense, and other activities, mainly among cotton field workers in Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas, sugar cane workers in Louisiana, and migrant laborers in Florida and California, but also among agricultural workers in other states. Additions after February 1990 include information pertaining to H. L. Mitchell's writings, production of labor feature films, microfilming of labor related materials, and other materials documenting subjects mentioned above.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Historical Information

The Southern Tenant Farmers' Union (STFU), an organization of tenant farmers, sharecroppers, and farm laborers, was an outgrowth of the plight of agricultural workers during the Great Depression. Its immediate impetus was the Federal Agricultural Adjustment Act (Triple A) program that required landowners to plow up every third row of cotton. As a result, mass evictions of sharecroppers took place.

From its beginning, the STFU was an integrated organization. Seven African Americans and eleven Caucasian men held the first meeting in 1934 near Tyronza Township, Poinsett County, Ark. H. L. Mitchell, one of the founders, served the STFU in many capacities, including as executive secretary and president. From Arkansas, STFU activities spread to other southern and southwestern states. Headquarters were established in Memphis, Tenn., although the STFU's greatest strength was in Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas.

The long-range aims of the STFU included the general betterment of conditions for agricultural workers and affiliation with the mainstream labor movement, but at first its activities were chiefly directed at gaining for its members their share of the Triple A money paid for reducing the cotton crop. The law actually required landowners to maintain the same number of tenant farmers, but many landlords ignored their tenants' rights. The STFU secured legal aid for exploited sharecroppers and focused national attention on their suffering. It often faced active and, in many cases, violent opposition during the early years.

STFU history may be divided into the following periods:

July 1934 - September 1937 Organization as an independent union.
September 1937 - 2 April 1939 STFU joined the United Cannery Agricultural Packing and Allied Workers of America (UCAPAWA), a CIO affiliate, on the condition that the STFU maintain its independent status. When the UCAPAWA refused to respect this condition, members of the STFU voted overwhelmingly to withdraw. On 2 April 1939, H. L. Mitchell led the STFU delegation out of the UCAPAWA convention.
3 April 1939 - 24 August 1946 Operated as an independent union.
25 August 1946 Charter issued 25 August 1946 affiliating the STFU with the AFL-CIO. By 1959, the STFU's official name had changed to the National Agricultural Workers' Union. The National Agricultural Workers' Union later merged with the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen.

Typical Delmo Farm Labor Homes house

The Southern Tenant Farmers Union in Southeast Missouri. In a "prologue to the Civil Rights Protest Movement of the 1960s," 1,500 men, women, and children sat down on the U.S. highways in the bootheel of Missouri in early January 1939. The people who camped on the highways for several days were dispersed before National Guard tents and field kitchens sent by President Roosevelt could arrive. The government, sponsored a program known as Delmo Farm Labor Homes, which built 650 homes for the homeless within a year. When these homes were to be sold in 1945, the STFU, having originally proposed the project to the Farm Security Administration, played an integral role in the sale of 600 of these homes to the people who occupied them.

Over 3,000 growers of strawberries, with an average of 3 acres each, formed a co-operative selling agency. They had a strong credit union then saved their money, got a good price for their crops. But the U.S. Department of Justice charged that their co-operative union violated the anti-trust laws. While the Eisenhower administration dropped similar charges against General Motors, the government broke up the successful union of little people.

Each year sugar cane employers appear at such hearings to plead poverty and inability to pay a living wage.

Sugar cane plantation near Sorrento, La., 1969

This is what it's like on the Sugar Cane Plantations of Louisiana. Without recourse to decent housing these people are trapped here, bonded to plantation slavery which denies them their rights as Americans. Local 300's self-help housing has "freed" more than 100 plantation families, given them a home of their own and brought them into the main stream of American life. Picture near Sorrento, La., 1969.
