Curator’s notes

by Adrienne Parr

Charles Crofts (1871-1950) was a major figure in the trade union movement. He was joint advocate for the Commonwealth Council of Federated Unions in the 1926-27 standard hours case, resulting in the in-principle acceptance by the Commonwealth Arbitration Court of the 44-hour week. Richard Crouch (1868-1949) joined the Labor Party on the encouragement of James Scullin. At the time of the conference he had just been elected President of the Victorian branch. His presidential address was a plea for national unity. Mary Rogers (1872-1932), apparently the only woman delegate, was a distinguished community and political worker and was secretary of the Labor Women’s Organising Committee from 1925 to 1932.
