The Houston Typographical Union is Local No. 87 of the International Typographical Union.
Return to the Table of Contents
Correspondence, reports, financial records, constitutions and by-laws, newsletters, legal records, booklets, brochures, petitions, and certificates. Most of the records come from the files of Leroy M. Williams, long-time secretary and later president of the Houston Typographical Union as well as president of the Texas State Federation of Labor.
The records include correspondence with the International Typographical Union national office, various Texas typographical locals, the Texas State Federation of Labor, the Texas Allied Printing Trades Council, and the Houston Labor and Trades Council. Of special interest is correspondence with union members in service during World War II, 1943-1946, and information on strike by Galveston Typographical Union no. 28, 1957-1960. A large part of the records consist of contract negotiations (1908-1963), and appeals by members to the Executive Board regarding matters of grievance and arbitration (1924-1963). Correspondents include M. M. McKnight of Fort Worth.
