Lanarkshire Miners' County Union
The union was initially led by Robert Smillie and William Small , both close associates of Keir Hardie , and both were founding members of the Independent Labour Party . In the 1920s , the two leading officials were Andrew McAnulty and William Allan , both members of the Communist Party of Great Britain . However , they were both suspended in 1928 , and left to found the rival United Mineworkers of Scotland the following year .
