Mr. Hinchcliffe's partner and owner of the printing company, an English immigrant named Robert Bower, was one of Lawrence's most prominent labor leaders. Mr. Bower advocated for the 10 hour work day, was nominated by the Labor Reform Party for the House of Representatives and organized the National Labor Union in Lawrence.
