Many mutual benefit societies flourished in Winnipeg in the early 1900s. They began as voluntary organizations founded on the efforts of <--caption--> individuals who sought companionship, economic security and social improvement through collective association. The ULT stands as one of the few surviving buildings owned and operated by such organizations. For members in need, the ULT provided financial assistance, food, and clothing. Its members organized social, cultural, political and educational activities. Reading classes, political debating clubs, and choral, theatrical, musical and dance productions were an integral part in the life of the ULT. Labour unions held their meetings here.

Other ethnic associations offered similar companionship and assistance to immigrant communities. Liberty Temple, for example, was established by Jewish radicals. Both the Ukrainian Labor Temple and Liberty Temple were raided by the police on the night of June 16 –17. The ULT printing presses were smashed and books and files were seized and used to claim evidence of a conspiracy during the trials of the strike leaders.
