HULL DISTRICT LABOUR FEDERATION
See Vol. 5, p. 460 and p. 484.
Formed in mid 1893 following the massive decline in the National Labour Federation [see Vol. 5, p. 481] and the shift away from support for national bodies and an apparent preference in Hull for local organisation. R. Atkinson, previously of the NLF became the secretary and in 1896 there was a name change to Hull District Labourers Union. The President R.H. Farrah claimed that membership had risen to by over 200 in less than two months. Atkinson was a socialist insurance agent and remained secretary throughout the short life of this union, which merged with the National Union of Gasworkers and General Labourers in late 1896.

Formed in 1872 the society fought a 13 week battle over wages and hours during the summer of that year. There was further strike in 1877 when the secretary was J. Winsor and the union Chairman was W.C. Robinson. Itās possible that the society merged with the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners some time after that and that some of the older men formed part of the revolt that led to the Hull Joiners and Carpenters Trade association [qv].
