The word gild, guild, or geld, from the Saxon gildan, to pay, originally meant a tax or tribute, and hence those fraternities which, in the early ages, contributed sums to a common stock, were called Gilds.
In a History of the English Guilds, edited by Toulon Smith from old documents in the Record Office at London, and published by the Early English Text Society, we find many facts confirmatory of those given by Brentano, as to the organization of these Gilds.

In a letter to the Boston Transcript a few days later, William Sumner Appleton outlined the goals of the new organization, the most important of which was raising the $30,000 which it was estimated would be needed to purchase and restore the house.
At this point the headquarters of the PRMA was located in the Old South Meeting House, and those interested in contributing to the fund were directed to send their checks there to Henry Higginson.
It appears that Nathaniel and Pauline Revere Thayer provided the final $3,500 needed in the form of a loan, which was paid off by the PRMA in installments after the house was opened to the public.

 Edward Cohen Plaque | Massachusetts AFL-CIO
On the afternoon of Dec. 5, 1907, Edward Cohen, a Lynn resident and the president of the Massachusetts chapter of the American Federation of Labor, sat chatting with two colleagues in the lobby of the executive office in the State House as they awaited an audience with Governor Curtis Guild Jr.
According to Juravich, by the time Cohen joined its leadership ranks, the state labor movement already had begun focusing on the need for legal protections for workers.  Legislation establishing minimum safety standards was enacted in the early 1890's, followed by some child labor restrictions in 1899 and 1900.
On the fateful day in 1907, Cohen, Dennis D. Driscoll, secretary-treasurer of the state AFL, and Arthur M. Huddell, a labor organizer, had planned to meet with Gov. Guild about the case of a labor man who they believed had been unjustly jailed for murder.
