- Title
Walter Citrine: Forgotten Statesman, By Jim Moher.
- Authors
Young, Diana
- Abstract
Walter Citrine's (1887-1983) career at the centre of the labour movement involved some crucial events such as the establishment of minority Labour governments, the General Strike, the development of the Labour Alliance, the purge of the Communist left in the trade unions and labour participation in the wartime coalition government. In 1911, Citrine had joined the Electrical Trades Union (ETU) and had become the District Secretary in 1914 and after which he ran the regional office from Manchester from 1920 as ETU Assistant General Secretary. Citrine, still TUC General Secretary, travelled to Finland, the Soviet Union, and the USA with the aim of speaking with fellow trade unionists to support the war effort.
