Summary:United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America delegates at their fifth general convention in Detroit, Michigan, 1888. They carried the Journeyman House Carpenters' banner at this event. The banner was used once more in public - at a labor parade in 1889 - before the UBCJA placed it in a glass-covered frame for safekeeping at their national headquarters. The banner was restored in the late 1990s and currently resides in the University of Maryland, Special Collections.
