Description: This 12"" by 40"" (30.48 by 101.6 cm) photograph was taken at the first constitutional convention of the United Steelworkers of America. It was during this convention that the name of the organization was officially changed from the Steel Workers Organizing Committee to the United Steelworkers of America. This signified that the committee had successfully organized a steelworkers' union and the emphasis shifted from organizing a union to running a union. It was also during this convention that the United Steelworkers adopted their first constitution. Among the significant changes between the United Steelworkers constitution and the Steel Workers Organizing Committee constitution was that under the United Steelworkers' constitution district directors were elected rather than being appointed by the chairman of the union.

Description: A steel worker is pictured walking along a railroad track in this photograph taken at Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company's Indiana Harbor works coke plant. Coke plants produce coke from coal so that it can be used as a fuel in a blast furnace. Blast furnaces are used to smelt iron ore with coke to produce pig iron. This is the first step of steel production that occurs at mills. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph showing employees at hand-operated sheet mills involved in steel production, ca. 1890-1899. After the American Civil War, iron manufacturers in Ohio began to introduce new processes to refine iron ore. The resulting product was steel, which was much stronger and more versatile than iron. Because Ohio's numerous steel companies were quick to adopt new technology, Ohio became the second-largest producer of steel in the nation by the 1890s. Developments in the steel industry helped to encourage construction of large buildings, such as skyscrapers, as well as bridges and other projects. The automobile industry also contributed to the growth of the steel industry in the early decades of the twentieth century. Although the mill in this photograph is not identified, it could have been one of any number around the state in the 1890s. View on Ohio Memory.
