Oral history interview with Kenneth Brown, 1974 August 14.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31484766

Ken Brown left school at the age of sixteen and apprenticed as a lithographer in Toronto in 1942. He became a member of Local No. 12 of the Amalgamated Lithographers Union of which his father, Arthur Brown, was president. In this interview which covers only his earliest years, Ken Brown recalls his lithographic-oriented family and their desire to follow the trade rather than pursue a formal education. He also contrasts the Canadian view of unionism with that in the United States.
