National Union Of Railwaymen.
Before Kimilsungism, Maoism, Stalinism or even Marxism-Leninism was the Labour Movement.
The National Union Of Railwaymen was created in 1913 by the merging of the Amalgamated Society Of Railway Servants, United Pointsmen And Signalmen's Society And General Railway Workers' Union. By 31st December 1913 the NUR had 267,611 members The NUR, created during the Great Labour Unrest in Great Britain in the pre-Great War era, took for its motto an English translation of a German phrase, "Workers Of The World, Unite!". The NUR was a key element in many national strike actions and saw the nationalisation of British Railways in 1948 although they did not exist to see British Rail privatised again as they merged into the National Union Of Rail, Maritime And Transport Workers (RMT) in 1990. Here is a 1921-22 Member's Card for Leicester Number 4 Branch to W. Warden of 70 Clifford Street, Wigston Magna. At this time there were three Railway stations serving Wigston, there is now only "South Wigston" from which his address is only 400 yards.

Re: National Union Of Railwaymen.
Here are the rule books of October 1931 and June 1947. A great insight into the changes in trade unionism from before and after the Second World War but before nationalisation.
"A union of railway workers of all grades united to advance their social condition. United also for mutual aid and joint protection"

Re: National Union Of Railwaymen.
A nice early brass lapel Membership Badge with the classic slogan.

Re: National Union Of Railwaymen.
Here is the Supplement to the December 1956 vest pocket conditions of service book.
Also a 1958-59-60 Contribution Card to George Topham, Cardiff 3 Branch 383. There were and still are plenty of railway stations in Cardiff.
