W. E. Morgan

William Evan Morgan (1858 – 19 February 1916) was a Welsh trade union leader.

Born in Rhos, Morgan began working at the Main Colliery in Bryncoch when he was only nine years old.

[1] In 1898, the union became the Western District of the South Wales Miners' Federation, Morgan again continuing as secretary, and winning election to its executive council.

[1] At the 1907 Glamorgan County Council election, Morgan stood as a Labour Party candidate in Loughor and Penderry.

After the election, two voters from the district came forward, claiming that they had voted against him only because they did not wish him to leave the area.
