Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen

  • SCAA-MJPL-0012
  • Corporate body
  • 1889-1969

During the formative years of railway construction, railway employees frequently worked in poor conditions for insufficient pay. In 1883, the Brotherhood of Railroad Brakemen was formed in Oneonta, New York to represent railway brakemen in their contract dealings with management. Their goal was to obtain fair contracts for the workers, which included benefits in the case of injury or death on the job. The Brotherhood of Railroad Brakemen became the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen in 1889 in order to include all kinds of railway employees. They represented workers in 14 different trade classifications. In 1885 the first Canadian lodge was founded in Moncton, New Brunswick and in 1889 the first Ladies' Auxiliary was organized in Fort Gratiot, Michigan. The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen merged with three other railway labour unions in 1969 to form the United Transportation Union. It was the largest of the four unions at the time of the merger. The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen was present in Saskatchewan and the Moose Jaw assembly was Lodge #34.

Bradwell Pastoral Charge was formed as United Church charge in 1925, part of Saskatoon Presbytery and containing appointments at Bradwell and Clavet. By 1932, the Blucher preaching point had been added but, by 1962, the charge only consisted of Bradwell, Clavet and Floral. Between 1964 and 1966, no congregations beyond Bradwell were listed in the charge. Around 1967, Clavet and Allan were added back in, then later Lost River (moving from Young-Zelma Pastoral Charge, ca.1969). Clavet appears to have closed by the early 1970s, followed by Allan, around 1976.

Clavet officially re-opened, as a separate Pastoral Charge, on May 15, 1982, while Bradwell Pastoral Charge continued on, with congregations at Lost River and Bradwell (Knox United Church). Lost River officially closed June 25, 1989.
