I have one copy of the newspaper of the 'American Radio Telegraphists
Association' ( "ARTA" ) from 1935.
Right now it's hidden from the world in my archives.
I'd welcome suggestions on where to donate it that it would be scanned and
put online; not just so it goes
to hide in someone else's archive. Nothing extremely revelatory in it; but
it's interesting the level of wage
disputes, strikes, unrest; this i suppose a natural, considering the
telegraphist job was a well-paid, relatively,
in a time of continued depression.
If you look online, there's not a lot to be found on the ARTA. That would be
an interesting story itself, the
origin and closure of this union. I think now, i actually have an ARTA
membership card too. If that's true,
it might be fun to photoshop edit it to remove the name on it, for your home
printing pleasure.
