Holland, State Purchasing Agent. lM-6-66-943192 Estimated cost per copy: S.79 DIRECTORY OF LABOR ORGANIZATIONS IN MASSACHUSETTS 1966 (With Statistics of Membership, 196U-65-66) Labor Bulletin No. 209 Compiled by the DIVISION OF STATISTICS Thomas M, Raftery, Director MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Alffi INDUSTRIFS Rocco Alberto, Commissioner =S5S^CH INTRODUCTION The material here presented constitutes the Sixty-First 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 em- ployment. Since the last Directory was issued many new unions have been organized, others have become inactive or disbsinded. The Department has records of unions in existence by reason of "statements" required by Chapter 6I8, Acts of 19U6 (Revised by Chapter 39U, Acts of 19h9). 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 U-lil). 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 15-2U). 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 25-160). IV. " Statistics of Labor Organizations" showing number and membership of local unions as of January 15, 1966, with data for two prior years, (pages I6I- 163). All National, International, Delegate and Local Organizations listed in this Directory are AFL-dO 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 thJX)ughout the state.

  • Guidelines and Application Form
    Dwelling CALL FOR PROPOSALS 4th exhibition of site specific sculpture & installation at historic Forest Hills Cemetery The Forest Hills Educational Trust invites artists, architects and landscape architects to participate in Dwelling: Memory, Architecture and Place at Forest Hills Cemetery. This juried outdoor exhibition will consist of temporary site specific installation work, structures, and sculpture set into the land- scape of Forest Hills Cemetery, a magnificent 19th century garden-style cemetery and arboretum in Boston, MA. The exhibition is scheduled for 6/15/06 to 10/31/06. We invite proposals responding to the Cemetery’s architecture, its Victorian role as an extension of domestic space and a final home, and its importance as a place of contemplation and reflection. Forest Hills is increasingly recognized as Boston’s newest venue for adventurous outdoor exhibitions of site specific contemporary art. The Trust’s exhibitions have received extensive coverage from the Boston-area media; sculpture at Forest Hills has been featured on the cover of Art New England, picked as one of 10 “must see” artworks in Boston by the Boston Globe’s art critic Christine Temin, and reviewed in the Boston Globe, Herald, Phoenix, Arts Media and Sculpture Magazine. Dwelling will open with a festive reception featuring live music and performance art. The Trust will also organize artists’ talks, educational programs for children and special events during the exhibition. We will produce an exhibition brochure (which will include a map, photographs and short artist’s statements) and document the exhibition on the Trust’s website (www.foresthillstrust.org). THE THEME The word "dwelling" offers two complementary meanings, one tangible and the other experiential.

  • Tour De Grave Historical Notes 2012
    Tour de Grave Historical Notes 2012 There are about 125 cemeteries in Boston, including ones owned by private for-profits, nonprofit and religious groups, and the city. There are 19 municipal cemeteries, the largest number of any city in the United States of which 16 are considered historic. Only 3 of the municipal sites still accept new burials. (The Historic Burying Grounds Initiative – for municipal sites established between 1630 and 1841 – was created in 1986 as a public-private effort to upgrade and maintain these properties.) Since the 1800s, Massachusetts state law requires that “each town shall provide one or more suitable places for the internment of persons dying within its limits,” which has been typically interpreted as requiring services for the indigent. Boston uses Fairview Cemetery in Hyde Park for this purpose, with unmarked numbered graves. (The regular cost of a double vault is $2,588.) There are more than 42,000 sites at Fairview and more than 195,000 in Mt. Hope Cemetery in Roslindale, the city’s largest. With the potential for another 2,000 sites in Fairview, and the redesign of some cemeteries to downsize roads and other unused space, the city hopes to meet the demand into the 2020s. EVOVLING AESTHETICS AND PRACTICES In medieval Europe, people were buried as close to the Church as possible, often in the ground immediately surrounding the building on which congregants walked, held markets, and celebrated festivals in what can be seen as a kind of public square. The rich and powerful were buried inside the Church, as close as possible to the alter.

  • Heart of the City Final Report
    THE HEART OF THE CITY BY ASHLEY G. LANFER WORKING PAPER 9 November 22, 2003 RAPPAPORT INSTITUTE FOR GREATER BOSTON JOHN F. KENNEDY SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT HARVARD UNIVERSITY RAPPAPORT INSTITUTE FOR GREATER BOSTON …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…………………….. PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the past generation, the City of Boston been part of an historic urban renaissance in the United States. After years of serious decline, when businesses and population fled the city as racial and social problems festered, Boston has used its strategic location, priceless institutional assets, and grassroots know-how to offer a vital place to live, work, and enjoy cultural and community life. At a time when government is denigrated in the political discourse, Boston City Hall has developed programs and policies that have won acclaim for their pragmatism and effectiveness — including community policing, Main Streets business districts, nonprofit housing development, public-private partnerships in hospitals and community health centers, building-level reform of public schools, a small but significant growth in school choice, devel- opment of whole new neighborhoods and transit systems, and a renewal of citywide park sys- tems. These programs and strategies work because they create place-specific approaches to problems, where people are engaged in fixing their own communities and institutions. Mayor Thomas M. Menino, Police Commissioner Paul Evans, Schools Superintendent Thomas Pay- zant, the late Parks Commissioner Justine Liff, and others have provided very real leadership from City Hall — as have community leaders in all neighborhoods and even field of endeavor. One of the areas to experience the most striking renaissance is the area that we call the Heart of the City.

In 1848, the mayor of Roxbury, Henry A.S. Dearborn – a founder of the Mass. Horticultural Society, and designer of Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge – established Forest Hills. He was inspired by the grand estates of aristocratic England and Napoleon’s Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, and envisioned a place very different from the crowded church graveyards of city centers. Dearborn’s innovative design culminated in 250-acres of elegant romantic Dearborn’s innovative landscape, laced with winding paths and shaded by mighty canopy trees. design culminated in Entering this tranquil sanctuary, visitors leave behind the stresses of urban life 250-acres of romantic and the concerns of commerce.
