Manchester, Salford And District Weavers' Association
The Manchester and Salford Weavers' Association was a trade union representing weavers in part of Lancashire, in England. In 1902, a group of women weavers founded the Salford and District Power Loom Weavers' Association. Unlike other local unions of weavers, all of its officials were also women. It saw initial success, and by the end of the year had 700 members, but this dropped to only 320 the following year. It then began growing again, and by 1907 it had 1,107 members. Almost all other local weavers' unions were affiliated to the Amalgamated Weavers' Association, and in 1907 it decided to establish an affiliated union for the area, the Manchester, Salford and Pendleton Weavers' Association. Its leader, S. J. Bardsley, claimed that the women's union had done nothing to improve wages or working conditions, but that as soon as trade improved, he would do so. He struggled to attract members, with only 270 by the end of 1908. The Manchester and Salford Trades Council was c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ashton-under-Lyne Weavers', Winders' And Warpers' Association
The Ashton-under-Lyne and District Power Loom Weavers' Association was a trade union representing cotton weavers in the Ashton-under-Lyne area of Lancashire, in England. After a dispute at Wellington Mills in Ashton, in 1877, local weavers decided to form a union, establishing it in 1877. One of the largest cotton unions of the 19th-century, it had 6,000 members in seven branches by the 1890s. The union was also a founder member of the Amalgamated Weavers' Association (AWA), in 1884. Membership of the union peaked at 7,766 in 1913, but fell a little in the 1920s. While it continued to decline, along with the Lancashire cotton industry in general, its secretary Lewis Wright came to prominence as leader of the AWA, and he was later knighted. The union received a small boost in 1951, when the Manchester, Salford and District Weavers' Association merged in. In 1972, the union merged with the Hyde and District Weavers', Winders', Warpers' and Doublers' Association and the Stock ...

Trade Unions Established In 1907
Trade involves the transfer of goods and services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market. An early form of trade, barter, saw the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services, i.e. trading things without the use of money. Modern traders generally negotiate through a medium of exchange, such as money. As a result, buying can be separated from selling, or earning. The invention of money (and letter of credit, paper money, and non-physical money) greatly simplified and promoted trade. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade involving more than two traders is called multilateral trade. In one modern view, trade exists due to specialization and the division of labour, a predominant form of economic activity in which individuals and groups concentrate on a small aspect of production, but use their output in trades for other products a ...

Cotton Industry Trade Unions
Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of the cotton plants of the genus ''Gossypium ''Gossypium'' () is a genus of flowering plants in the tribe Gossypieae of the mallow family, Malvaceae, from which cotton is harvested. It is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Old and New Worlds. There are about 50 ''Gossypiu ...'' in the mallow family Malvaceae. The fiber is almost pure cellulose, and can contain minor percentages of waxes, fats, pectins, and water. Under natural conditions, the cotton bolls will increase the dispersal of the seeds. The plant is a shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including the Americas, Africa, Egypt and India. The greatest diversity of wild cotton species is found in Mexico, followed by Australia and Africa. Cotton was independently domesticated in the Old and New Worlds.

World War I
World War I (28 July 1914 11 November 1918), often abbreviated as WWI, was one of the deadliest global conflicts in history. Belligerents included much of Europe, the Russian Empire, the United States, and the Ottoman Empire, with fighting occurring throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Pacific, and parts of Asia. An estimated 9 million soldiers were killed in combat, plus another 23 million wounded, while 5 million civilians died as a result of military action, hunger, and disease. Millions more died in genocides within the Ottoman Empire and in the 1918 influenza pandemic, which was exacerbated by the movement of combatants during the war. Prior to 1914, the European great powers were divided between the Triple Entente (comprising France, Russia, and Britain) and the Triple Alliance (containing Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy). Tensions in the Balkans came to a head on 28 June 1914, following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cotton Factory Times
The ''Cotton Factory Times'' was a weekly British newspaper, aimed at cotton mill workers in Lancashire and Cheshire. The newspaper was established in 1885 by John Andrew, owner of the daily ''Ashton Evening Reporter'' and several related newspapers. He believed that, in order to sell newspapers to the large number of cotton mill workers in the area, he would have to create a newspaper which specifically targeted them, in particular by including extensive reporting on issues relating to the industry in which they worked.{{cite journal , last1=Cass , first1=Eddie , last2=Fowler , first2=Alan , last3=Wyke , first3=Terry , title=The remarkable rise and long decline of the Cotton Factory Times , journal=Media History , date=1998 , volume=4 , issue=2 , pages=141–159 , doi=10.1080/13688809809357941 In order to access news on the cotton industry, Andrew partnered with several well-known cotton trade unionists, including Thomas Ashton, Thomas Birtwistle and James Mawdsley.

Manchester And Salford Trades Council
The Manchester Trades Union Council brings together trade union branches in Manchester in England. History Efforts to bring trade unionists together across Manchester go back to the eighteenth century. In 1818 the cotton spinners persuaded other trades to join them in a successful but short lived Philanthropic Society. The first use of the name Trades Council was a meeting in 1837 of the United Trades Council of Manchester and Salford organising support for the Glasgow Cotton Spinners. A thousand people in the Corn Exchange listened to speakers including J.R. Richardson, author of ‘The Rights of Women’ and Joseph Rayner Stephens, both of whom went on to be active Chartists. Following a trade union conference in Sheffield in July 1866 called to discuss the use of the lockout weapon by employers, two delegates from the Manchester Typographical Association, William Henry Wood and Samuel Caldwell Nicholson, convened the inaugural meeting of the Manchester and Salford Trades Uni ...
