The Glovers Trade Union (for skilled workers) was founded in 1884, but was dissolved in 1904. Another Union Society continued to 1925, but the trade  situation had become worse. The workers were practically all on short time, large numbers working only two days in three weeks or a month. By 1929, things had improved somewhat, and there were 40% more workers.
