    The Trades Hall Part of Our History You aid them friends, with more than empty praise, Your contribution will assist to raise A people’s palace on yon vacant soil- A palace built and own’d by hardy sons of toil1 Image: State Library of Victoria Trades Hall, Corner of Lygon and Victoria Streets, Carlton (Photographed by John T. Collins in 1964) At a time when the nation’s biggest convenience store chain is being cast as ‘rorting wages of its workers’ it is worth noting that the history of one of the world’s earliest trade union buildings is in Carlton, on the fringe of the central city, originally solely financed and built by the workers to serve as a place for the labour movement. Melbourne building workers had successfully taken up an issue first raised by Sydney stonemasons for an Eight Hour Day. The skilled tradesmen, stonemasons, bricklayers, carpenters, joiners, plumbers, painters, slaters, quarrymen, coach builders, were Chartists or radicals who had emigrated from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, who had settled in cheaper suburbs like Collingwood, Fitzroy, North Melbourne and Richmond, who considered themselves ‘the fraternity of labour’, ‘the working bees of society’, ‘the producing classes’ and ‘the pioneers of the colony’.2 3 Their leader’s names are recorded on an honour board on the main staircase of the present building including Charles Don, Thomas Vine, James Stephens, James Galloway and Benjamin Douglass. Their families were also involved as the original Eight Hours flag was hand stitched by Vine’s three daughters.
