Method of Acquisition

In August 1982 Helen Raulston gave the archives two 16mm films of the spring 1929 strike at the American Bemberg and American Glanzstoff rayon plants, Elizabethton, Tennessee. The films were taken by the company photographer and given to Mrs. Raulston's husband, Clarence, upon Bemberg's closing in 1976.
