Biographical history

In the spring of 1888, an International Typographical Union charter was issued for the Vancouver Typographical Union, Local 226. The first officers of the Local were : W. M. Watters, president; Alex A. Anderson, vice-president; D. A. Monroe, treasurer; and J. W. Gunn, recording and financial secretary. The new Local soon passed a constitution, by-laws, and scale of prices. Local 226 has been at the forefront of organized labour in Vancouver. Late in 1888, the Union appointed a committee to consult other city labour organizations about forming a Trades and Labour Council. In 1893, the union also appointed a committee to organize country towns; in time locals were formed in New Westminster, Kamloops, Vernon, Rossland and several other communities. During the late 1960s and 1970s, in an effort to consolidate the organized printing trades in British Columbia, the Victoria, New Westminster, Kamloops, and Vernon locals were absorbed by Local 226 of the International Typographical Union.
