George Barker (British politician)

George Barker (13 March 1858 – 28 October 1936) was a Welsh Labour Party politician.

Born in Hanley, Barker was educated at Norwood National School before joining the Buffs (Royal East Kent Regiment).

[1] Barker became active in the South Wales Miners' Federation, and later served as full-time agent to its Monmouthshire and Western Valleys district.

He opposed Macdonald’s Ruhr Settlement which continued German Reparations and, thus, threatened the market for Welsh coal.
