      [0806a] Brice P. Disque papers, 1906-1960, Coll. 0316

      Location: Special Collections, University of Washington Libraries, Box 352900, Seattle, WA 98195-2900

      Description: Brice P. Disque (1879-1960) was a public official and businessman who commanded the U.S. Army's Spruce Production Division and founded the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen during the First World War. Disque was charged with accelerating the logging of spruce and other trees for the war effort, a process which had been slowed by a series of strikes and slowdowns led by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). The Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen, an organization headed by army officers, enrolled all of the roughly 20,000 soldiers working as loggers and about 100,000 civilian loggers during the war. All enrollees had to sign a loyalty oath and agree not to strike. Enrollees could be members of the IWW or American Federation of Labor (AFL), but they had to promise not to organize workers into any union other than the legion. The series Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen, contains copies of the legion's monthly bulletins from 1917 to 1919. The series United States War Department, Spruce Production Division, includes the correspondence of Disque, his advisors, and other Spruce Division officials from 1917 to 1921.

      [0807] Distributist Party, 1933-1935, COLL MISC 0791

      Location: Archive and Special collections, British Library of Political and Economic Science, 10 Portugal Street, London WC2A 2HD, England

      Description: Distributionists believe that the means of production should be distributed as widely as possible among the populace. Distributism opposes Communism and Socialism and any form of centralisation. It embraces property of ownership, small economies of scale, belief in God and maintaining families, and sensible technology. Distributism is generally against big systems and in favour of small and private systems. Distributism promotes independence and self-reliance provided they are understood to be subsequent to higher values such as religious faith and promotion of the family. The Distributist League was founded in 1926. Its President was the writer G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936). The Distributist Party was formed at a meeting at the Charing Cross Hotel on 25th May 1933. A resolution was passed at the meeting that the party should pursue "...the encouragement of individual ownership in the means of livelihood; the dispersal of unnecessarily large aggregates of industrial and commercial capital..." Papers of Harry Hutchinson, relating to the Distributist Party.
