Miners' Federation of Great Britain
The Miners' Federation of Great Britain, MFGB was established in Newport, Wales in 1888 to represent and co-ordinate the affairs of local and regional miners' unions whose associations remained largely autonomous. The federation was reorganised into the National Union of Mineworkers in 1945.
==Founding conference and membership==
In 1888 after colliery owners rejected a call for a pay rise from the Yorkshire Miners' Association, several conferences were organised to discuss the possibility of forming a national union. At the conference held in the Temperance Hall in Newport, South Wales in November 1889, the Miners' Federation of Great Britain (MFGB) was formed. Ben Pickard of the Yorkshire Miners' Association was elected president and Sam Woods of the Lancashire and Cheshire Miners' Federation its vice-president. Enoch Edwards from the Midland Counties Miners' Federation was its first treasurer and Thomas Ashton, also from the Lancashire and Cheshire Miners' Federation, its first secretary. Keir Hardie was one of the Scottish delegates at the conference.
The Northumberland Miners' Association and the Durham Miners' Association initially refused to join but did so in 1907 and 1908.〔 The Somersetshire Miners Association formed in 1872 became a constituent member of the federation in 1889. It had about 4,000 members in 1910 and 2,600 by 1944.
The federation's membership increased by 30% in its first year and by 1890 its member federations had 250,000 members. Most of its founding members were still in control in 1910 by which time the membership was more than 600,000. Membership peaked in 1920 when it had more than 945,000 members. In 1926 the membership dropped to 756,000 and had declined to about 530,000 in 1930.
