Title A name given to the resource Central Illinois Typographical Union #177 Collection Subject The topic of the resource Labor unions Printing industry International Typographical Union Labor union members Printing industry--Employees Printing industry--Employees--Labor unions Congresses and conventions Description An account of the resource The Central Illinois Typographical Union #177 began in May 1878 as the Springfield (Ill.) Typographical Union No. 177. During the 1970s the Jacksonville, Decatur, Danville, Quincy, Taylorville and Hannibal, Missouri, locals joined Number 177 and in 1975 the name changed to the Central Illinois Typographical Union. The union was part of the International Typographical Union which formed in 1867 to advance the interests of the printers and to promote harmony among them. The first issues the unions dealt with were pay, working hours and conditions. After the unions became more established they worked for more long term concerns such as old age pensions, mortuary benefits and paid sick time. The unions also worked to start an apprentice program. In 1915 the Springfield local voted to make the term of apprenticeship five years, with pay of $5.00 per week the first year. Apprentices had to qualify by having their grammar, spelling and other academic skills tested, to assure that their work on the linotype or teletype setters would produce accurate results. The Woman’s Auxiliary of the ITU was formed in 1902 to raise awareness of union products, the union label, and to raise funds for the Printer’s Retirement Home or to help families of members during hard times. Jacksonville’s union joined No. 177 in 1897. It was not until 1971 that Taylorville joined. Then Decatur merged with the Springfield union in 1975, Quincy in 1976 and Danville in 1978. The union's name changed to Central Illinois Typographical Union in 1975. In the 1980’s computers became prevalent and allowed for the writer and editor of a story to also act as printer. This caused union membership to drop drastically. Photographs in this collection include images of members attending the 117th International Typographical Union convention and union member group photos. Still Image A static visual representation.

Savannah Georgia Jan 23 1865 Hon Richard Yates Sir I beg leave to express the thanks of the Illinois Soldiers in the 66th Ills vet. vol. for your Strong and Manly appeal to the General Assembly in their behalf, and to assure you of their continued regards. Your course throughout your term as Executive of the State has ellicited their warmest admiration and produced a feeling of friendship scarcely ever shown towards a Statesman of any party. Struggling against every effort of a disloyal Legislature to [injure?] the Union Cause and consequently the reputation of Illinois Soldiers, you have manfully faced the enemies of the government and defeated their every attempt to produce anarchy and disenssion. For this we thank you and Shall continue to Show our appreciation of your conduct on every occasion. We are entirely Satisfied with the Governor elect, who was our choice for governor as were <hr /> you for the Senate. Every Sentiment uttered in your late message meets a cordial reception from all the Soldiers rank and file. Have not heard a word of fault, but many of praize. Carry out such Sentiments throughout your present term of office, and you will continue to receive their good will as you will that of every loyal man of the land. We have begun to tremble for the action of the National Congress. Theirs is so much of wavering - of doubt - of fear to proceed in cases when there is no precedent. This should not be! Where there is doubt be Radical on the side of Right and Mercy and you will be Successful. Great Men Seek to make precedents and not to follow others. This should be the way to dispose of the Slavery question! Give us assurance that what has destroyed So many noble lives, Shall forever be powerless to destroy others, and we are then possessed of a new incentive for action; a new heart in the Cause. Mr. Lincoln has proved firm for the Union. He dared to establish a precedent and then dared to uphold it. It has given us Success! <hr /> it will give us greater victiries. I mean the Emancipation Proclamation! Take one jot or letter from it and you discourage the enemy. They will think all is lost, and will have no heart to press forward. Success has been ours Since its publication! Defeat will follow its destruction. Then make it binding through Congressional Legislation and you ensure us success, and with that a final, lasting, glorious and valuable Peace. Deprived of the right of exercising the Republic boon of Suffrage, by injurious State laws, we Claim the privilege of giving our views to those Selected to represent the Sentiments of the loyal of the State. We hope they may have proportionate weight. The main business before Congress is the question of Slavery. It Should be the great work of the Session. When Slavery is properly disposed of you may expect quiet and not before. Without its final Settlement Peace is impossible. Until it is Settled we may prepare for war. A proper decision of the Slavery question will mould the Section of the rebels. A decision will show them what to expect; They are already <hr /> possessed of the belief, that Slavery is destroyed. Shall we disappoint them? A "Bill of Colonization" will afford relief; will Settle the rebellion; will give us Peace! I am Strongly opposed to foreign< colonization. It would be injurious to remove so much labor from the Country and no good Statesman will advocate the project. American Colonization will, alone, afford relief. Give us a bill to colonize them in the West or Southwest on the borders to Mexico. By this means we shall place a truly loyal people on our borders. And by using the Able bodied in our Armies Shall thus furnish means to provide for their families. Can you offer a better plan? Colonize them and you remove immediately one great cause and objection that the Slaveholders have to entering again the loyal ranks. Remove the blacks, and the rebels will return to their Allegiances. Though as a general rule I do not approve of any plan to please them, yet if we shorten the war, and thereby save our brave fellows from war, by such a plan is it not well to try it? The two races will be bennefitted by the Separation! If you do not separate them there will be continual trouble between them. Freedom is a great boon to the Colored man and there is no injustice in removing him from the vicinity of his present habitation. We can afford to be merciful; It is extremely mortifying for the Slaveholder to live with his Slave, free, and thus colonized, that these races may live and prosper in Peace. I remain very Respectfully Yours David C Gamble Capt 66th Illinois Vol <hr /> Gamble, David C. Capt 66th Ill Vols Savannah Ga.

During the Civil War the school relocated to Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. In 1859 Chicago entrepreneur and Presbyterian layman Cyrus H. McCormick and his wife, Nettie Fowler McCormick, became the seminary's major financial patrons. The relationship between the McCormick family and the school remained well into the twentieth century. Shortly after McCormick’s death in 1884, the school was renamed McCormick Theological Seminary. Several campus buildings are named for McCormick family members including McCormick Hall, Fowler Hall, and Virginia Library. After Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination in 1968, seminary faculty and students were active in the civil rights movement and provided assistance to displaced and injured participants. The seminary relocated to Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood in 1975. The photographs in this collection include portraits of the McCormick Theological Seminary Class of 1896, school professors, and campus buildings. Still Image A static visual representation.

Bloomington Ill July 29th 1861 Dr E. R. Roe My Dear Sir I have been advised that Mr Hovey's regiment has been accepted by the Govr - This is very gratifying news - I understand that you would take the place of one of the field officers in the regiment - I sincerely hope this is true - Your course since the war commenced has been eminently patriotic & just - <hr /> such is the universal sentiment of this community - I wish I had the appointing power - I would consider that in appointing you as one of the field officers of the regiment I was appointing a gentleman eminently qualified & one who (I am persuaded) if enlisted in the service, would do honor to the country & credit <hr /> to his State - And I would appoint you too on account of your politics - It is no time now to think about party politics - The Democratic party has nobly responded to the call of the country in its time of need & the distribution of officers in the military ranks should be such as to keep down party strife & quiet party feelings <hr /> I may be permitted to say that it will afford me infinite pleasure to aid you in any way in my power - Yours most Truly - David Davis Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Ada and Dan Rice purchased an additional farm for horse breeding in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1947. Ada Rice’s thoroughbreds won at nearly every famous racetrack in the country, including in 1965, when Lucky Debonair won the Santa Anita Derby and then the 91st Kentucky Derby.
