James Keir Hardie 1856-1915 Scottish trade unionist and politician. He was a founder of the Labour Party and served as its first parliamentary leader from 1906 to 1908. Born in Newhouse Lanarkshire he started working at the age of seven and worked in the Lanarkshire coal mines. With a background in preaching he became known as a talented public speaker and was chosen as a spokesman for his fellow miners. In 1879 Hardie was elected leader of a miners union in Hamilton and organised a National Conference of Miners in Dunfermline. He subsequently led miners strikes in Lanarkshire 1880 and Ayrshire 1881. He turned to journalism to make ends meet and from 1886 was a full-time union organiser as secretary of the Ayrshire Miners Union. Hardie initially supported William Gladstones Liberal Party but later concluded that the working class needed its own party. He first stood for parliament in 1888 as an independent and later that year helped form the Scottish Labour Party. Hardie won the English seat of West Ham South as an independent candidate in 1892 and helped to form the Independent Labour Party ILP the following year. He lost his seat in 1895 but was re-elected to Parliament in 1900 for Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales. In the same year he helped to form the union-based Labour Representation Committee which was later renamed the Labour Party. After the 1906 election Hardie was chosen as the Labour Partys first parliamentary leader. He resigned in 1908 in favour of Arthur Henderson and spent his remaining years campaigning for causes such as womens suffrage self-rule for India and opposition to World War I. He died in 1915 while attempting to organise a pacifist general strike and has called him "Labours greatest pioneer and its greatest hero". Morgan & Scott hardcover
