Puttee, son of William and Elizabeth Puttee, was born at Folkestone, Kent, England, where he attended school and at age 15 was apprenticed as a printer in Woolwich.
On return to Canada, Arthur Puttee worked as a printer and was a member of the board of directors of The People's Voice (TPV), a paper established in 1894 by the WTLC, which he had helped to found earlier that year, to represent and to promote the views of labour.
Puttee was an "advanced" Liberal, not a socialist, and was not a supporter of the pacifist opposition to Canadian participation in the South African War (1899-1902).

British-born and much-travelled, Puttee was a printer, who had settled in Winnipeg in 1891 and had taken a leading role in the founding of the trades council, the labour party, and The Voice; by 1899, he was the editor of the paper.
When the campaign became active in January, 1900, Puttee ran on a conventional reformist platform which advocated direct legislation, a land tax and public ownership of "all natural monopolies." [11] Despite their essential moderation, Puttee's platform and his public statements provided the ammunition with which he was attacked.
Puttee might fondly believe that the Winnipeg party was "largely composed of men of socialistic tendencies," but it also contained a significant number of non-ideological trade unionists and middle class reformers.

And Puttee Wesley was accompanying the body home, a service he so graciously volunteered to perform, inasmuch as he was in Paris and on his way home.
Puttee Wesley, he decided from all that he ingested of him, was not afraid of playing either the pirate or the brigand or the smuggler to get any of the items his heart desired.

The editor of the paper was a moderate socialist by the name of Arthur Puttee, who also served as Manitoba's first labour Member of Parliament between 1900 and 1904.
Under Puttee's editorship, The Voice did not confine itself to labour issues, but commented on the social and political problems of the day.
In the second decade of the century, the labour press became the forum for an increasing debate between craft unionism, which restricted union membership to only the most highly skilled of workers, and industrial unionism under which all workers, regardless of skill, were represented by the same union.

Yet, far more than such polished contemporaries in the broader Canadian labour movement as Winnipeg’s Arthur W. Puttee* and Toronto’s James Simpson*, Studholme was probably representative of the craft-unionist milieu.
He brought to his task many of the best qualities of the workingman straight from the shop floor: sterling honesty, compassion, blunt common sense, and a prickly class pride.
