Bradley papers (photocopies), 1937-1951

This series consists of manuscripts, correspondence, printed material, note cards, interview transcripts, audio tapes, and photographs resulting from Hevener's research relating to Widen, (Clay County) West Virginia's Elk River Coal and Lumber Company and its long time manager, John G. Bradley. Hevener's unpublished writings focus particularly on Bradley's personality and management tactics, his opposition to the UMWA, and the at times, violent strike activity that occurred several times throughout the company's history. Included are four chapter manuscripts and a completed 30 page manuscript with bibliography entitled, Labor Relations at Elk River Coal and Lumber Company, Widen, West Virginia 1912-1963.
