Alfred William Styles
Alfred William Styles (29 November 1873 – 8 January 1926) was an accountant, trade unionist and politician in South Australia.
==History==
Styles was born in Richmond, Surrey, England, and was a student at the local grammar school, then left for South Australia with his parents, arriving in February, 1882. After an education at the Norwood and Sturt Street State Schools, he was invited by Walter Birks, of Charles Birks & Co., to work for that firm. With Theo. Godlee as a mentor, he rapidly climbed the ladder from office boy to ledger-keeper and assistant cashier. After seven years with that firm he left to take up religious and philanthropic work. He joined the Rev. A. W. Wellington's team of willing workers in feeding and clothing the unemployed during the severe winter of 1892 in a time of economic Depression. He proved so effective that the Rev. Wellington recommended him to the Primitive Methodist Conference of 1894 for theological training for the Methodist ministry. During his training at Way College he had the benefit of private tuition with elocutionist Edward Reeves, and A. Walmsley as singing coach. He was thus well prepared for the annual elocution contest in the Yatala district, and won the first prize trophy in 1895. After four years' probationary work, Styles resigned his position with the church and returned to business life in the bookkeeping department of John Martin & Co., where both employers and employees were in favour of regulated business hours — "early closing". Styles became a member of the Early Closing Association in July 1900, a member of the board in March 1901, and on 17 June was appointed secretary. He was a hard worker, and devoted all his spare time to association work. The success the campaign, which resulted in shops closing 1 p.m. on Saturdays, instead of 11 p.m. as previously, was largely due to his efforts.
He was also a member of the Australasian Federated Butchers Employes' Association, (or Meat Employes' Association), for many years its President, and ten years its Secretary, only relinquishing the position in 1915.〔
