Daniel Guile
The Hornby vs Close case found that unions could not prosecute membership who stole their funds , and in order to campaign on this issue , Guile again began working with the leading figures in the Trades Council , becoming recognised as part of the "Junta" . He also became involved with the Trades Union Congress ( TUC ) , winning election to its Parliamentary Committee in 1873 , then becoming its treasurer , but stood down in September 1875 , arguing that with the passing of the Conspiracy , and Protection of Property Act 1875 , the organisation was no longer needed .
