Joseph Jones (trade unionist)
Joseph Jones (1891 – 1 April 1948) was a British trade unionist.
Born in St Helens, Jones studied at a technical college before becoming a coal miner.〔Robin Page Arnot, ''The Miners in Crisis and War'', p.129〕 He moved to work at Thurcroft, and was elected branch secretary of the Yorkshire Miners' Association (YMA) in 1914. He was an active methodist, and strongly promoted the cause of temperance,〔Peter Gibbon and David Steyne, ''Thurcroft: a village and the miners' strike - an oral history'', p.15〕 later becoming Chairman of the Workers' Temperance League. He was elected as a Labour Party member of West Riding County Council in 1919, serving until 1933.〔 In 1923, Jones was elected as Treasurer of the YMA and, the following year, he became its General Secretary. He was elected to Barnsley Town Council in 1926, serving as Mayor of Barnsley in 1931.〔''Colliery Guardian'', vol.141, p.979〕
In 1924, Jones contested the General Secretaryship of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain (MFGB) as the candidate of the union's right-wing, but he was narrowly defeated by the communist A. J. Cook.〔David Howell, ''MacDonald's Party'', p.119〕 From 1926 until 1931, Jones was on the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party, and from 1930 to 1938 he was the government's Coal Mine Reorganisation Commissioner.〔
Jones was elected as Vice President of the MFGB in 1932, then in 1934 became the union's President. He resigned in 1938 to join the Coal Commission, and in 1947 was appointed as advisor on social insurance to the National Coal Board.〔
