"J.S. ("Jock") Garden was a delegate to the Labor Council from the Sailmakers' Union which had a number of members employed by sailmaker firms in Balmain. He became Secretary of the Council in May 1918, replacing Jack Kavanagh who had taken up a position on the Board of Trade. Garden was a strong advocate of the One Big Union, influencing the Labor Council to examine a scheme essentially based on the OBU. "
