Historical Note

Helena Typographical Union #95 was first chartered February 19, 1867. At that time, the National Typographical Union gave the Helena local jurisdiction over the entire territory of Montana. Little is known about the early years of the union, as the records have been lost. When the National Typographical Union became the International Typographical Union in 1874, the Helena local received a new charter. Then, in 1884, a third and permanent charter was issued. Under this new charter, Helena was no longer responsible for the entire territory, as new locals had been established in Miles City in 1882, and in Butte in 1883. The Helena local was active in apprenticeship programs, in promoting training of skilled printers, and in contract negotiations with Helena's newspapers and job printing houses. Beginning in the 1950s with the changing technology in the printing industry, the union attempted to keep up with the new techniques. However, with photo offset and computer-generated printing, the need for linotype operators ended. The Helena local closed in the late 1980s. The Helena local was also instrumental in the formation of the Montana Typographical Conference and was active in its leadership over the years.

Content Description

Records include correspondence (1888-1985) with the International Typographical Union, other local typographical unions, the Montana Federation of Labor and State AFL-CIO, printing firms, and others. The correspondence is in two separate runs: incoming correspondence from 1888-1945 and general correspondence from 1949-1985. Court papers (1903-1984) consist of hearings and other material concerning a number of complaints against the union and complaints against employers. Financial records (1895-1982) include dues registers, financial reports of the secretary-treasurer, receipts from various labor organizations to which the local union belonged, and financial reports to federal agencies. Legal documents consist of contracts (1904-1973) with Helena's newspapers and job printing houses. There is a complete set of minutes (1885-1973), plus organizational records (1890-1980) including applications for membership, constitutions and bylaws, membership registers, and other material. There are reports (1899-1988) of various union committees, of delegates to the Montana Typographical Conference, of union presidents, and to the U.S. Census Bureau. Subject files (1931-1985) include information on apprenticeship programs, International Typographical Union training seminars, the Helena Trades and Labor Council, a jurisdictional dispute with the Helena Printing and Pressmen and Assistants Union, and the Montana State AFL-CIO and Committee on Political Education [COPE]. Miscellany includes a monthly list of pensioners (1973-1976) a history of the International Typographical Union by Hal Harper, and presentation of 40-year and 70-year pins. There are a few clippings including obituaries, honors, retirements, meetings, and political issues. A portion of this collection has been microfilmed (Microfilm 197).
