Henry, Alice, 1857-1943

"The Trade Union Woman"


These are the Typographical Union, dating back to 1850, and the Cigar
Makers' International Union, which was founded in 1864.
Other international bodies, founded since, are:
Boot and Shoe Workers' Union. 1889
Hotel and Restaurant Employes Union. 1890
Retail Clerks' International Protective Association. 1890
United Garment Workers of America. 1891
International Brotherhood of Bookbinders. 1892
Tobacco Workers' International Union. 1895
International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. 1900
Shirt, Waist and Laundry Workers International U'n. 1900
United Textile Workers' Union. 1901
International Glove Workers' Union of N. America. 1902
One group of unions, older than any of these, dating back to 1885, are
the locals of the hat trimmers. These workers belong to no national
organization, and it is only recently that they have been affiliated
with the American Federation of Labor.
