Estimated cost per copy: $.65 9331 .074A 1972 DIRECTORY OF LABOR ORGANIZATIONS IN MASSACHUSETTS 19 7 2 (With Statistics of Membership, 1970-71-72) Compiled by the DIVISION OF STATISTICS Thomas M. Raftery, Director MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRIES Rocco Alberto, Commissioner INTRODUCTION The material here presented constitutes the Sixty-Seventh Directory of Labor Organizations in Massachusetts. The first Directory of this kind was published in August, 1902. The term "Labor Organizations" as used in this Directory is a group of employees or wage earners organized for the purpose of improving their status through negotiations with employers. The organization is usually a party to either a written or verbal agreement concerning wages and conditions of employment. Since the last Directory was issued many new unions have been organized, others have become inactive or disbanded. The Department has records of unions in existence by reason of "statements" required by Chapter 618, Acts of 1946 (Revised by Chapter 394, Acts of 1949). This edition consists of four divisions, as follows: I. " National and International Organizations " having one or more affil- iated local unions in the United States, (pages 4-14). II. " Delegate Organizations " consisting of organizations composed of delegates from local unions whose members are in trades or industries of a like character within a definite district, or of delegates from local unions in the same locality, not necessarily in similar trades, (pages 15-23). III. "Local Labor Unions" composed of wage earners in a single locality directly associated in what may be termed the "unit body" of organization, (pages 24-186). TV. " Statistics of Labor Organizations " showing number and membership of local unions as of January 15, 1972, with data for two prior years (pages 187- 189). All National, International, Delegate and Local Organizations listed in this Directory are AFL CIO affiliates except where otherwise noted. At the beginning of each year a general canvass is made for the data which appear in this Directory. Each National and International Labor Organization known to be in existence in the United States (See Section I) is requested to furnish the Department with the name and address of its corresponding official and a list of any Massachusetts Locals affiliated, together with the names and addresses of certain officials of such unions. From the Delegate Organizations in Massachusetts (See Section II) somewhat similar data are secured. Each Local unit known to be in existence, whether or not chartered by a parent body, is canvassed and detailed information is secured as to the time and place of meeting, the names and addresses of corresponding and other officials, and other relevant data (See Section III). These same unions also report the membership of their organizations (See Section IV). The names of individual Local Unions appear in Section III, listed for ready reference alphabetically under the respective municipalities in which their headquarters are located. Nearly all of the local unions are affiliated with national or international bodies. Designations of Local unions follow closely the names of parent bodies as given in Section I. The following facts are given for each Local and Delegate Union: Name and charter number (and brief identifying description where available); time and place of regularly held meetings; name and address of secretary, business agent or other authorized representative; business office and telephone number, if any. Officials of those organizations from whom no report was received in re- sponse to the original request were visited by the Statistical Investigators of the Division and the necessary data were secured. There were also ascertained from various sources, facts with reference to the forming of new unions and the disbanding of those formerly active. At the time of going to press there were incorporated in this issue such changes as had come to the attention of the Department since the original canvass was made. Officials of organizations listed herein are urged to advise the Department of any such changes as they occur. The Department makes every effort to issue the Directory as early in the year as possible, as much of its usefulness depends upon the promptness of its issue. In this endeavor we have had the cordial cooperation of labor officials throughout the state. ABBREVIATIONS Abbreviations of titles of union officials follow: B.A., Business Agent Leg.

Composition and Presswork by the Memorial Press. Plymouth. Mass. PREFACE. It has become an axiom that every Legislature has its own special ana peculiar features. "Sufficient unto the (legislative) day is the evil there- of." Fortunately the Legislature of 1!)07. in sharp contrast with most of recent years, had no "investigation," although it came perilously near one. Never before was there a single measure involving so vast financial interests as the legislation involving the proposed union, or "merging," of the New York, Xew Haven & Hartford Railroad Company with that of the Boston & Maine; and certainly no legislative hearing ever before had before it within the same hour two railroad presidents of so great influ- ence as President Mellen of the former and President Tuttle of the lat- ter, both of whom were before the committee on railroads on the same afternoon. This session was marked also by the passage of the "anti- bucket-shop" legislation, and of acts to enable savings hanks to furnish life msurance at cost, and to compel one day's rest in seven as well as to perfect the eight-hour law in accordance with the wishes of organized labor.

PREFACE /909 The Legislature of 1909 will easily rank as a "double-header." It is entitled to this distinction by reascn cf the prominence cf the hills to revise the charter cf the city of Boston and to incorporate the Railroad Ih lding Company to take over the st< ck of the Boston & Maine Railroad Company, and of other companies, if deemed advisable. The former of these measures was made, practically, a political measure, while the latter was marked by an entire absence of party lines in its advocacy and oppo- sition. The results to follow from either will lie the only means cf deter- mining the relative or absolute value to the state of either or of both. The labor, liquor, and milk measures, this year, were not of marked im- portance in their final outcome. There seemed, in the end. a feeling that the existing legislation should not he materially altered. The automobile legislation was materially changed and in the direction of more safety for the general public as against speed maniacs and other offenders against travelers.
