Abstract
As the 1920s progressed there was an increasing sense of confrontation between the two sides of industry, with both employers and workers united in ‘giant’ organisations (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The TUC was reformed with the creation of the General Council (6) and there was a call for streamlining the movement (7), though sectional differences could still appear, as they did when ASLEF rejected an agreement worked out with the new railway managements in 1924 (8, 9).
