Mary Macaulay
Mary Macaulay (January 27, 1865 – July 19, 1944) was a telegraph operator and labor union official who became International Vice President of the Commercial Telegraphers Union of America (CTUA) in 1919. She was the first woman telegrapher to hold a national elective office in a union.
==Involvement with telegraphers' unions and the suffrage movement==
In about 1880, she began work as a commercial operator for Western Union. She joined the telegraphers' union, the Brotherhood of Telegraphers, which was affiliated with the Knights of Labor. She joined in their strike against Western Union in 1883. When the strike ended unsuccessfully, she left Western Union and began work as a press operator in Amsterdam, New York, where she sent and received press dispatches. This was the beginning of a long career as a press telegrapher; she subsequently operated for the ''Rochester Post Express'' in Rochester, New York, the Consolidated wire at the ''Buffalo Evening News'' in Buffalo, New York, and for the United Press Association in the offices of the ''Lockport Union Sun'' in Lockport, New York. While in Lockport, she was elected vice president of Local 41 of the CTUA.〔“Miss Mary J. Macaulay of Lockport”, ''Commercial Telegraphers Journal'', February 1910: 41.〕
Macaulay was an early supporter of the women's suffrage movement; during her employment in Rochester, she also served as secretary to Susan B. Anthony.〔“Miss Mary J. Macaulay”, ''New York Times'' obituary, July 21, 1944: 584-5.〕
