Texas State Federation of Labor
The Texas State Federation of Labor was the Texas affiliate of the American Federation of Labor. It was formed in 1900 and disbanded in July 1957, when it merged with the Texas State CIO Council to form the Texas AFL-CIO.
== History ==
After several attempts to form a statewide labor organization had foundered, a convention was called at Cleburne, Texas by the the Clebourne Trades Council on January 15, 1900. The first convention was attended by 23 delegates representing seven cities and a membership of 8,475.〔Ruth Alice Allen 1889-1979. ''(Chapters in the history of organized labor in Texas )'' The University of Texas publication #4143 November 15, 1941 Austin, TX: University of Texas, p.123〕
Despite the organization's name, the Texas State Federation of Labor did not receive a charter from the national AFL until 1903. This was because the TSFL was working with the railroad brotherhoods to secure desired legislation and they would not work with a union that accepted the leadership of the national organization.〔Allen pp.124-5〕 In 1903 the railroad brotherhoods agreed to work with the State Federation and formed the Joint Labor Legislative board of Texas.〔Allen pp.132-3〕
By the mid 1950s, union membership in Texas stood at about 375,000 or 17% of the non-agricultural working population. Of these, approximately 235,000 were affiliated to the AFL unions.〔James C. Maroney "(Texas State Federation of Labor )" in Handbook of Texas〕
