Money is raised through pledges and from a silent auc- tion and goes to buy wheel- chairs and braces for children, as well as for research and sum- mer camps. Muscular dystro- phy is a hereditary condition marked by a progressive weak- ening and wasting of the mus- cles over time. Since the Labor Bowl began in 1989, union members have donated $392,119 to MDA. ■ Time: Sunday, March 31, Registration 10:30 a.m.; Bowl 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. ■ Place: KingPins Family Entertainment Center, 2725 SW Cedar Hills Blvd., Beaverton ■ Cost: $60 minimum to raise per bowler ■ More info: Call NALC Branch office at 503-493-5903. Labor history conference in Portland May 3-5 The Pacific Northwest Labor History Association annual conference will be held May 3-5 at the University Place Ho- tel and Convention Center, 310 SW Lincoln, Portland. This year’s theme is “General Strike 1919-2019, Radicalism, Repression, and Solidarity.” 2019 marks the 100th an- niversary of a watershed year in American and Canadian la- bor history, especially in the West. The year was defined by the Seattle and Winnipeg General Strikes, the Centralia Massacre, and the wave of state sponsored repression of immigrant workers during the Palmer Raids. Reflecting on these events a century later encourages us to consider the significance of radicalism, as well as ways that organized labor has both enforced and overcome racial and gendered barriers to solidarity. The PNLHA is looking for contributions to help make the conference a success. Any donations would be greatly appreciated! Dona- tions can be sent to: PNLHA-2019 Conference, 8734 NW Wood Ave., Port- land, OR 97213. For more information, con- tact Jim Cook at 503-703- 1693, or jmelvincook@ gmail.com.
