This scarce silk ribbon was issued in 1887 to announce and support the holding of a Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (B of L. E.) meeting, to be held on May 29, 1887, in Columbus, Ohio. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers was organized on May 8, 1863 in Detroit, MI. The organization was only open to locomotive engineers; locomotive firemen and other railroad employees formed their own organizations. It was the first permanent trade organization for railroad workers in the US. In 1864 it was renamed the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (B of LE).The B.L.E. agitated for an eight-hour workday, improved wages, and better working conditions. In addition to its bargaining activities, the B.L.E. provided insurance to its members. Insurance companies considered railroad work “extra hazardous” and often refused to issue policies to locomotive engineers.
