Edward (Jack) Holloway (1865-1967) was general secretary of the Trades Hall Council from 1915 to 1929. James Scullin (1876-1953) had become deputy leader of the federal party in March 1927. In April 1928 he became Labor leader and in October 1929 led the party to federal victory. He was Prime Minister until the election of December 1931. John Barnes (1868-1938) was president of the AWU from 1924 until his death, and party leader in the federal Senate from 1932 to 1935. Joseph Hannan (1875-1943) was federal president of the party from 1924 to 1928.
