書(shu)(shu)記(ji)部(bu)(bu)(bu)支援和(he)領導罷工(gong)斗爭，尤其(qi)是(shi)“香港海(hai)員(yuan)后(hou)援會”的(de)活動，使英租(zu)界當(dang)局十分恐懼，便(bian)采取各種手段進行阻撓和(he)破壞。他們察覺(jue)到(dao)(dao)(dao)這(zhe)個(ge)極有組(zu)織的(de)罷工(gong)司令部(bu)(bu)(bu)無(wu)疑地設(she)在(zai)北成都路(lu)19號C的(de)勞(lao)動組(zu)合書(shu)(shu)記(ji)部(bu)(bu)(bu)內。于是(shi)1922年(nian)(nian)6月(yue)(yue)以(yi)“擾亂治安”等罪名逮捕了(le)被工(gong)人譽為(wei)工(gong)運(yun)“健將”和(he)“先鋒”的(de)李啟(qi)漢。7月(yue)(yue)17日(ri)又封閉了(le)總(zong)部(bu)(bu)(bu)辦(ban)事(shi)處，其(qi)成員(yuan)遭通(tong)緝。當(dang)時，北京(jing)尚可公開(kai)活動，總(zong)部(bu)(bu)(bu)遷往北京(jing)，鄧中夏任(ren)總(zong)部(bu)(bu)(bu)主任(ren)，上海(hai)變為(wei)分部(bu)(bu)(bu)。北京(jing)總(zong)部(bu)(bu)(bu)成立(li)后(hou)，聯合各分部(bu)(bu)(bu)開(kai)展了(le)“勞(lao)動立(li)法運(yun)動”，以(yi)爭取工(gong)人階級的(de)政(zheng)治自由。同時，繼續派出(chu)特派員(yuan)深入工(gong)礦(kuang)企業，參(can)與罷工(gong)的(de)組(zu)織領導。如毛澤(ze)東、劉少奇到(dao)(dao)(dao)安源(yuan)路(lu)礦(kuang)，彭禮(li)和(he)去開(kai)灤煤(mei)礦(kuang)，羅章龍、林(lin)育南等深入京(jing)漢鐵路(lu)沿線(xian)等。1925年(nian)(nian)5月(yue)(yue)在(zai)廣州(zhou)召開(kai)了(le)全(quan)國(guo)第二次勞(lao)動大會。會上選出(chu)以(yi)林(lin)偉民(min)為(wei)委員(yuan)長(chang)、劉少奇為(wei)副委員(yuan)長(chang)的(de)領導機構(gou)。中華全(quan)國(guo)總(zong)工(gong)會正式成立(li)，中國(guo)勞(lao)動組(zu)合書(shu)(shu)記(ji)部(bu)(bu)(bu)已完成歷史任(ren)務而宣告(gao)撤銷(xiao)。書(shu)(shu)記(ji)部(bu)(bu)(bu)從(cong)成立(li)到(dao)(dao)(dao)結束(shu)的(de)三(san)年(nian)(nian)零九個(ge)月(yue)(yue)里，為(wei)工(gong)人階級的(de)解放(fang)事(shi)業作出(chu)了(le)不朽的(de)貢(gong)獻，在(zai)中國(guo)工(gong)運(yun)史上譜寫下壯麗(li)詩篇。
為(wei)弘(hong)揚(yang)革命先輩(bei)的奮斗精神，在中(zhong)國勞動組(zu)合書(shu)記部誕生70周年前夕，中(zhong)共靜安(an)區委決定在舊址(zhi)內建(jian)陳列館，得到全國總工(gong)會和市委黨(dang)史(shi)研(yan)究室的支持，1992年9月(yue)(yue)28日建(jian)成(cheng)開(kai)放。因成(cheng)都(dou)路(lu)高架工(gong)程(cheng)需要(yao)，1999年在成(cheng)都(dou)北路(lu)893弄7號易地重(zhong)建(jian)新館，9月(yue)(yue)29日重(zhong)新對外(wai)開(kai)放。
