In this evocative photograph, Alfred Onions (1858-1921) is seen donning a formal bowtie and suit as he sits at a desk, surrounded by the paraphernalia of political office. As a Welsh Labour MP for Caerphilly and the Treasurer of the South Wales Miners Federation, Onions was a prominent figure in the working-class movement and the coal mining industry during the early 20th century. The image captures the industrious spirit of the era, with Onions' determined gaze and the stack of papers before him suggesting the weight of responsibility that came with his roles. The coal mine in the background further underscores the connection between the politician and the working class, as well as the significant role that the mining industry played in Welsh society at the time. Onions was a socialist and a committed advocate for the rights of miners and the working class. He was a vocal critic of the harsh working conditions and low wages that characterized the coal industry, and worked tirelessly to improve the lives of his constituents. His dedication to the cause earned him the respect and admiration of the miners and the working class community in Caerphilly and beyond. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the struggles and triumphs of the working class movement in Wales during the early 20th century, and the important role that politicians like Alfred Onions played in shaping the political and social landscape of the time. With his unwavering commitment to social justice and the welfare of his constituents, Onions remains an enduring symbol of the power of grassroots activism and the resilience of the working class.
