Effingham Lysaght Richardson (1860–1947) was an Irish trade unionist. Born into a Church of Ireland family, Richardson joined the Roman Catholic church shortly before his marriage in 1883.〔Peter Conradi, ''Iris Murdoch: A Life''〕 Richardson became active in the Dublin Typographical Provident Society,〔Donal Nevin, ''James Connolly'', p.163〕 and was elected to the Dublin Corporation in 1898 as an independent labour candidate.〔Terence Bowman, ''People's Champion'', p.129〕 Richardson was elected as Secretary of the Irish Trade Union Congress in 1901,〔Donal Nevin, ''Trade Union Century'', p.217〕 serving until 1909, when he resigned to become the superintendent at the Dublin Labour Exchange.〔Vincent Kinane, ''A history of the Dublin University Press, 1734-1976'', p.262〕 He also served a year as President of the Dublin Trades Council in 1903.〔Séamus Cody, John O'Dowd and Peter Rigney, ''The Parliament of labour: 100 years of the Dublin Council of Trade Unions'', p.251〕 In this role, he was able to continue his opposition to Jim Larkin, particularly during the Dublin Lockout.〔Padraig Yeates, ''Lockout Dublin 1913''〕 Becoming a fierce opponent of the Labour Party, he lost his council seat in the mid-1910s.〔Arthur Mitchell, ''Labour in Irish Politics, 1890-1930'', p.64〕 Richardson retired in 1934, and died in 1947. He was distantly related to Iris Murdoch.〔 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「E. L. Richardson (trade unionist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
