	Welcome to SIPTU - The Union For All Workers - James Larkin
		James Larkin was a remarkable man. On the day he died, Sean O’Casey wrote: “It is hard to believe that this great man is dead, for all thoughts and all activities surged in the soul of this labour leader.
		Larkin was born in the slums of Liverpool in 1874.
		Larkin was a brilliant orator who had been sentenced by a prejudiced judge and injury on false charges of attempting to overthrow the Government, so Frank claimed, and this was proved later when Governor Al Smith quashed the sentence, though Larkin had already served years of it.

	James Larkin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Larkin's family lived in the slums in Liverpool during the early years of his life, and from the age of seven he attended school in the mornings and worked in the afternoons to supplement the family income - a common arrangement in working-class families at the time.
		Larkin's speeches in support of the Soviet Union, his association with founding members of the American Communist Party, and his radical publications made him a target of the "Red Scare" that was sweeping the nation, and he was jailed in 1920 for 'criminal anarchy'.
		Larkin was unsuccessful in his attempts in the following years to gain a position as a commercial agent in Ireland for the Soviet Union, and this may have contributed to his disenchantment with the communist cause.

	Irish Transport and General Workers' Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ITGWU was at the centre of the Dublin Lockout in 1913 and the events left a lasting impression on the ITGWU and hence on the Irish Labour Movement.
		After Larkin's departure for the United States in 1914 in the wake of the Lockout, William X. O'Brien became the union's leading figure.
		William O'Brien and James Larkin remained bitter personal enemies, and when Larkin and his supporters were readmitted into the Labour Party in the early 1940s, O'Brien engineered a split in the party, with the new National Labour Party claiming that the main party had been infiltrated by communists.

	James Larkin
		On 17th March, 1918, Larkin established the James Connolly Socialist Club in New York and it became the centre of left-wing activities among the Irish socialists in the city.
		Larkin still supported the idea of parliamentary government and was critical of the tendency of its leaders to use "long words and abstract reasoning which went over the brows of the masses".
		Larkin would not put the case exactly that way, but no other way suggested itself to him, so he abstained from what he knew or felt would be the dangers of definition.

	James T. Farrell to Leon Trotsky on Ireland (1938)
		Larkin left for America, and Larkin says that one of the last things that he said to Connolly was not to go into the National movement, not to join the Irish Volunteers, which was the armed force of the nationalist movement.
		Larkin was a great and courageous agitator, but not a leader of a defeated army, and he could not work with any one.
		The principal instrument of the Irish revolutionaries was always terrorism and direct action, and when Larkin was unable to function with these methods on the wave of a rising and militant movement, he was lost, and the labor bureaucrats outmaneuvered and outsmarted him.

		Yet as Emmet Larkin (no relation), Larkin's biographer' in James Larkin: Irish Labour, notes, when Larkin died in 1947 "most people outside Ireland were surprised, for they had assumed he had been dead for a long time."

	Stylus - James Larkin
		James Larkin (1876-1947) retains a central position in the pantheon of the Irish labour movement.
		In general, labour historians have been kind to Larkin and his style of leadership, which was often abrasive and dictatorial, has often been portrayed as a form of improvisation engendered by contemporary exigencies.
		In this important new biography of Larkin leading labour historian Emmet O'Connor radically reassesses the man and asks whether he should be viewed as a "hero" of the working class, or as a "wrecker" whose difficult personality was detrimental to both trade unionism and an emerging Irish communist movement.
