Abstract:
Minutes, correspondence, reports, and financial record books of a Milwaukee local of the Bricklayers and Allied Craftsmen's Union. Founded in 1880 as the independent Mason and Bricklayer Union No. 1, the local affiliated with the Bricklayers and Masons International Union of America in 1896. The records of the local are available only in the German language from 1880 through 1899, and in German and English from 1899 through 1918. In 1918 the German record keeping was suspended. Bricklayers Local 7 also was active in Milwaukee until its dissolution in 1899; most of its members then joined Local 8. Local 7's minutes, 1893-1899, are also in this collection.
