Abstract:
The La Crosse (Wisconsin) Typographical Union No. 448 was organized in 1901 under the direction of a district organizer from the International Typographical Union. One of the main functions of the union was to enforce locally the scale of wages and labor standards established by the International Union in relation to newspapers and job printers. Local 448 had its charter revoked in 1980 due to the small size of its membership.

Records of La Crosse Typographical Union No. 448 include the constitution and by-laws, minutes (1901-1979), correspondence (1913-1980), and financial records (1901-1924; 1946-1979) which includes a membership register from 1910.
