	Keir Hardie
		James Keir Hardie (1836-1915) was a Scottish born socialist and labour leader, the first Labour MP to be elected to the UK parliament.
		Hardie caused a stir when he first arrived at parliament as he was attired in workers clothes rather than the formal day suit and silk hat then thought necessary for the smooth conduct of parliamentary business.
		Hardie died in 1915, his health and heart broken by the outbreak of World War I, which he had bitterly opposed but had been helpless to stop.

	The Forgotten Keir Hardie \| libcom.org
		That Keir Hardie endorsed the class struggle from a theoretical standpoint cannot be denied by any who will take the trouble to study his actual writings: the extracts we have quoted prove it and are typical of the rest.
		Hardie's view was bitterly attacked by the British Socialist Party, which on this question has now come round to his standpoint, for it declares in defence of its affiliation to the Labour Party, that the Party is "the mass organisation of the working class".
		It must be remembered that Keir Hardie died before the Russian Revolution, that he lived in the period of stagnant reformism, and died during the early clash of the great war, when the working-class movement of Europe was submerged in a riot of patriotism, and no glimmer of international solidarity showed on the horizon.

	James Keir Hardie
		Hardie remained friends with atheists such as Eleanor Marx and Frederich Engels, the dominant influence on his political ideas were his religious beliefs.
		In June 1894, Hardie suggested to the House of Commons that a message of condolence to the relatives of the 251 coal miners killed by an explosion in a colliery near Pontypridd, Wales, should be added to an address of congratulations on the birth of a royal heir (the future Edward VIII).
		Hardie moved an amendment to this address, crying out that over two hundred and fifty men and boys had been killed on the same day in a mining disaster, and claiming that this great tragedy needed the attention of the House of Commons far more than the birth of any baby.

		However, the meeting organised by the I.L.P., Johannesburg, greeted Keir Hardie's appearance with the rowdyism typical of the miners in that city when they choose to be hostile.
		Keir Hardie commenced by saying it had come to his notice that the trade unions of Cape Town had no intention of receiving him, but he was not looking for receptions, especially of the sort he had hitherto received in South Africa (laughter).
		The writer was one of them, "That," said Keir Hardie, "is the result of the irritation." That meeting, at which Comrade Needham resided, like the other meetings we had during his stay, was a great success—no hostility was shown anywhere.

		Keir Hardie,--There is no brighter spot in the long vista of human progress than the international labour movement, with its effort at a realisation of the dreams of saints and sages--the true brotherhood of man, and peace between all the so-called "civilised" nations.
		With earnest wishes for the success of the congress, and with the hope that it will sink all minor differences to further the definition and adoption of fundamental principles--of which that relating to militarism is certainly one of the most important.
