[Identification of item], White (Albert) Waiters' Union Collection,
Mss102, Holt-Atherton Department of Special Collections, University of the
Pacific Library
Nothing is known of this peripatetic waiter, who worked in six different
western cities, Chicago, Salt Lake City, Reno, Los Angeles, Fresno and
Sacramento, during the twelve years preceding World War II.
This collection consists of White's seven union handbooks, his union
traveling card and the By-Laws of the San Francisco chapter of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles. The union handbooks contain the union constitution, which
describes the objectives, roles of officers, modes of finance, methods of
discipline, and other aspects of this AF of L affiliated union. In the last few
pages of each book are spaces for stamps giving proof of the member's having
paid his/her dues, and recording the member's name, local affiliation and
transfer data.
