1933 Obituary[1]
IT is with much regret that we have to record the sudden death, on July 14th, of Mr. C. T. Cramp, the general Secretary of the National Union of Railwaymen. Not only have the men to mourn a very capable leader, but the railway companies have lost a good friend. He had that good gift, so necessary for officers of trade unions, of being able to see the other side's point of view, and he was particularly happy, and successful, in his negotiations with the railway companies. He had rendered useful public service also, as he was a member of the Post Office Advisory Council, and of the Royal Commission on Lotteries and Betting. Mr. Cramp's railway career was spent on the Midland Railway, and he became the industrial general secretary of the N.U.R. in 1920, and when Mr. J. H. Thomas was, because of his support of the National Government in the autumn of 1931, forced to resign the position of political general secretary, both offices were combined under Mr. Cramp.
