NUMBER AND GROSS TOTAL MEMBERSHIP* OF FEDERATIONS OF TRADE UNIONS IN GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND, 1910-1924.

TRADES UNION CONGRESSES, 1895-1925.

[Extracted from the Fifty-Seventh Annual Report of the Congress.]

It should be remarked that a fall in the federated membership may be due to amalgamation superseding federation, as notably in the case of the "other transport" group in

Chambers of Commerce, of Agriculture and of Shipping, Trade Protection and Insurance Societies, and all associations with purely commercial or technical objects are excluded.

In these cases the reduction in the number of associations between 1914 and 1925 arises, not from associations having ceased to exist, but from the fact that a number of local associations which were included as being directly
