Labor history group will convene in Tacoma May 18-20 TACOMA — The 44th annual Pa- cific Northwest Labor History Associ- ation (PNLHA) Conference will be held May 18-20 at the Washington State History Museum, 1911 Pacific Ave., Tacoma. The theme of this year’s conference is “A Century of Bread and Roses” and commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Lawrence, Massachusetts, strike in 1912 of 10,000 workers in the tex- tile industry — mostly women and many children. Elaine Bernard, director of the La- bor and Worklife Program at Harvard Law School, will be the keynote speaker Saturday morning, May 19. The Friday evening conference opener will feature Massachusetts folk singers Karen Brandow and Charlie King in “Occupy Lawrence: Bread and Roses,” a word and music presentation describing the century-ago event. King and Brandow are well known to folk music audiences. PNLHA annually recognizes indi- viduals and organizations with awards at its conference banquet. This year’s Bread and Roses Awards Banquet will be held at the Hotel Murano on Satur- day evening, March 19. For more information, contact Ross Rieder at 206-406-2604 or e-mail to pnlha1@aol.com.

The number of payouts and dollar amounts will be determined on player turnout. John Candioto, business manager of Sheet Metal Workers Local 16, is co- ordinating the poker tournament.
