UWM Manuscript Collection 46

9 cubic ft. (16 archives boxes, and 3 oversize boxes)

ABSTRACT: Collection includes records of the Kuryer Publishing Company that printed the Polish language daily newspaper, Kuryer Polski, and managed the Kuryer Agency. Although the collection consists of only partial records of the Kuryer Publishing Company, the material is especially valuable for both documenting the demise of the ethnic press and for a study of inter-war immigration policies. In addition, the collection possesses valuable genealogical material. The Kuryer Agency's records are primarily correspondence in Polish and English relating to the Agency's efforts in assisting its clients in citizenship matters, transmitting funds to Poland, investing in Polish bonds, purchasing steamship tickets to and from Poland, and obtaining immigration visas for relatives in Poland. The Kuryer Publishing Company's records are primarily correspondence and business records concerning the daily operations of the Kuryer Polski. Extensive correspondence with various Polish organizations document the Kuryer's importance in Polish American communities throughout North America. Letters from readers with various requests for information and assistance chronicle the Kuryer's prominence in America's Polonia.

ACCESS RESTRICTIONS: There are no access restrictions on the materials; however, the researcher assumes full responsibility for conforming with the laws of libel, privacy, and copyright, which may be involved in the use of this collection. The materials in this collection are open to all members of the public in accordance with state law. (Wisconsin Statutes 19.21-19.39).

SCOPE AND CONTENT: The collection is comprised of two series. Series 1 contains the records of the Kuryer Agency; Series 2, the records of the Kuryer Publishing Company.

The Kuryer Agency records are primarily client files, arranged alphabetically. The majority of the files are correspondence in both Polish and English regarding the Agency's actions in their client's behalf. Many files contain passport applications, Polish birth certificates and other official forms required to attain citizenship. Many files document the Agency's struggle to secure immigration visas for clients in Poland. This was a formidable task because the National Origins Act of 1924 severely limited Polish immigration. The Agency also secured steamship passage for many of their clients who wished to visit independent Poland. The correspondence with the ocean lines document the sailing dates, the name of the vessel and the cost of the voyage.

This collection appears to be only a small sample of the Agency's clients as the majority of the material covers only last names from K through Z and with a time span of the late twenties to 1939. The Kuryer Agency's files list the name of the client who may have acted in someone else's behalf.

The Kuryer Publishing Company records consist of both business records and correspondence to the publishing company requesting assistance for a host of problems. The files are arranged alphabetically by subject heading. Extensive correspondence with various Polish organizations documents the Kuryer Polski's role as forum for North America's Polonia. The records are in English and Polish.

The business records consist of ledgers, stock holder's indexes, general correspondence, union contracts and advertising accounts and commissions. The ledgers, with a few gaps, cover the entire existence of the company. The indexes of stockholders list the purchasers of Kuryer stock in 1906, 1912 and 1915. Particularly well documented is the Kuryer's continuing struggle for solvency throughout its existence. Its battle to maintain operations are indicative of the problems that faced the foreign language press in the United States as a whole.

Subscribers solicited the Kuryer's assistance in solving a myriad of problems. One irate husband sought the Kuryer's help in deporting his wife's suitor. Especially poignant are letters from Polish soldiers interned in Hungary during the Second World War.

Extensive correspondence documents both the cordial and the often stormy relationship between the Kuryer and various Polish organizations. Of particular interest is the law suit that the Polish Roman Catholic Union filed against the Kuryer in 1918.

Fragmentary material concerning the family that owned the Kuryer Publishing Company includes Wacaw Kruszka's copyright to his "History of Poles in North America" and condolences on his death, and correspondence concerning Professor Zwierzchowski's suspenseful flight from the invading German army in September of 1939.

Although this collection consists of only partial records of the Kuryer Publishing Company, the material is especially valuable for both documenting the demise of the ethnic press and for a study of inter-war immigration policies. In addition, the collection possesses valuable genealogical material.

ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY: On 23 June 1888, Michael Kruszka, an immigrant journalist from Slabomierz in Prussian-held Poland, published the first edition of the Kuryer Polski. Despite having a mere three employees and assets of only $125, Kruszka's inaugural headline boldly announced that the Kuryer Polski was the "Only Polish daily in America representing Polish interests in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Central and South America." For seventy-four years the newspaper lived up to its initial proclamation by promoting the welfare of Polonia communities scattered throughout the Americas. The Kuryer Polski succeeded Kruszka's weeklies Dziennik Polski and Krytyka (1885-1888). In 1899, Kruszka incorporated the Kuryer Publishing Company. By 1915 the Kuryer Polski boasted a readership of more than 40,000. The Kuryer's position on many divisive issues facing Polish American communities throughout North America gained the newspaper national prominence.

Promoting Polish priests to high offices in the American Catholic hierarchy was among the most volatile issues the Kuryer Polski pressed. Milwaukee's Archbishop Sebastian Messmer opposed "the dangerous experiment...to give the Polish people a bishop." Messmer propounded that "Whenever a bishop would have any difficulty with a Polish parish their bishop would be appealed to. The Polish are not yet American enough and keep aloof too much from the rest of us." Michael Kruszka's brother, Father Wacaw Kruszka, was arguably the most assertive advocate for Polish representation in the Church's upper echelons. Contrary to the behest of Milwaukee's Archbishop, Wacaw traveled to Rome in 1903 to present his grievances against the German and Irish dominated American Church. Only in 1908 did the Holy See name a Pole, Paul Rhode, as auxiliary bishop of Chicago.

The Kuryer Polski also criticized clerical meddling in the political arena. Kruszka attacked the construction of St. Joseph's Church by alleging it burdened the working-class parishioners with a debt of at least $250,000. Kruszka's fervent support to place Polish language instruction in the Milwaukee Public school's curriculum further alienated the clergy. Many in the church judged Kruszka's efforts as an overt attempt to subvert parish schools.

To combat the Kuryer Polski, Archbishop Messmer persuaded members of the Polish clergy to establish rival Polish language newspapers. The first two, Sowo (the Word) and Dziennik Milwaucki (Milwaukee's Daily) failed within months of publication. In 1906 opponents of the Kuryer Polski published the Nowiny Polski under the editorship of Reverend Bolesaw Goral. Soon the rivalry between the Kuryer Polski and Nowiny split Milwaukee's Polonia into two antagonistic factions. On 11 February 1912, Milwaukee's Archbishop Messmer issued an edict enjoining the faithful not to read the Kuryer Polski. Disobedience of the decree could result in excommunication.

On 12 June 1912, the Kuryer Publishing Company responded by organizing a demonstration of more than 25,000 opponents of Messmer's edict. Kruszka also established the fraternal insurance society, Federation of Poles in America, to counter both clerical sponsored associations and the Polish National Alliance. The PNA earned Kruszka's wrath by its refusal to side with the Kuryer Polski during the dispute with the church. The Federation of Poles in America continues to provide insurance coverage as Federation Life Insurance with its headquarters in Milwaukee. In 1918, a scant few months before Poland's rebirth, Kruszka died. Kruszka's son-in-law, Professor Stanisaw Zwierzchowski (Zowski), became President of the Kuryer Publishing Company. In 1922, after Professor Zwierzchowski moved to Poland to teach at the University of Warsaw, Chester Dziadulewicz assumed management of the company. Colonel Peter F. Piasecki, veteran of the Spanish-American War and former Postmaster General for Milwaukee, succeeded Dziadulewicz in 1938. The Kuryer Polski suspended publication on 23 September 1962 after the Internal Revenue Service declared the company delinquent on its taxes.

The Kuryer Polski's readers greeted the reestablishment of an independent Poland after World War I with a barrage of requests for information regarding citizenship status, currency transactions, travel arrangements and immigration visas. The Kuryer Publishing Company established the Kuryer Agency on 17 September 1919, to meet the demand for such assistance. The Agency handled these tasks until the German invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939, rendered the services of such an agency superfluous.

ACQUISITION: An anonymous donor presented the Milwaukee Public Library (MPL) with 23 boxes of Kuryer material in 1962. According to the Internal Revenue Service inventory of the Kuryer Publishing Company, the IRS auctioned 57 boxes of material to an undisclosed purchaser. Consequently, this collection is but a segment of the total material. The call number for the collection while at the MPL was Manuscript Collection 27. The MPL physically transferred the collection to the Golda Meir Library for processing on 1 September 1990. The MPL transferred ownership of the collection to the Golda Meir Library on 13 August 1993.

PROCESSING: A grant from the Polish National Congress permitted Robert Mink of the Golda Meir Library to process the collection between September 1990 and August 1991.
