              <text>Ben Robinson Grew up in Springfield MA, and arrived in New York City in the summer of 1929 immediately after graduating from the Yale Law School. He found employment with Manfred W. Ehrich, counsel to the United States Printing and Lithographic Company. Robinson spent time working in Buffalo and soon was asked to become counsel to the Lithographic Code Authority. With the dissolution of the National Recovery Administration Robinson was out of a job and after spending a year abroad, eventually gained a position as counsel for the International Council and the Local One. Robinson recalls various cases he won including the Foote-Davies case. Robinson discusses the movement of the AF of L into the CIO and the merger and comments on the question of the relationship with the AFL-CIO over the years. He briefly recalls his involvement writing for the National Lithographer trade magazine and his relationship with the magazines owner. Robinson closes the interview by discussing the possibility of Local One returning to the union and his feelings on the issue.</text>
