"One of the Last of the Old Time Masters of Men Out of the Old Time South": Charles F. DeBardeleben and Labor Politics in Birmingham (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: "One of the Last of the Old Time Masters of Men Out of the Old Time South": Charles F. DeBardeleben and Labor Politics in Birmingham
Author: Jennifer Ritterhouse
Abstract: Jonathan Daniels's 1937 interview with Birmingham industrialist Charles F. DeBardeleben, president of the Alabama Fuel and Iron Company, provides a window onto the labor conflicts in Depression-era Birmingham. Daniels considered DeBardeleben an old-time paternalist but also noted his political allegiance to Republican candidate Alf Landon in 1936. Focusing on DeBardeleben thus helps us understand connections between the history of labor relations in the South and the full-scale political realignment among white southerners that would be evident by the 1960s.
