Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
Established in 1903, the Tariff Reform League (closely allied to the Imperial Tariff Committee, the Birmingham based organisation which it eventually superseeded) was set up as a protectionist presure group, supporting, in particular, Joseph Chamberlain's proposal for Preferential Treatment with the Colonies. At its most active, the League was well organised and many local branches and a few women's sections were set up. The League went out of existence some time after the First World War. Its work of propaganda was taken up by other organisations in the 1920s, notably the Empire Industries Association.
