Central Labor Union (Washington, D.C.). Minute book, 1891-1897.

Title: Minute book, 1891-1897.

Minutes from the opening meeting of the Central Labor Union in June 1891, remarks to be used during a debate held by the union, and drafts of letters written to other labor members and Pres. William McKinley in 1897. Topics of correspondence include urging the appointment of Representative William S. Linton of Michigan as chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and labor's distrust of Sen. Joseph R. Hawley of Connecticut. Much of the volume is blank. One of the letters from 1897 is signed by A.B. Schofield, and the other unsigned drafts appear to be in the same hand. Schofield worked at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and his employment at this agency likely prompted his advocacy of a particular candidate for Bureau chief.
