In political matters, Davies worked closely with Tal Mainwaring, often giving public speeches on socialism together. He was noted as the more impassioned speaker, and his political knowledge was broad; on returning home from work, he was known to dip his hands in cold water in order to wake himself up sufficiently that he could read. He died in 1927, and a memorial hall was erected, as the headquarters of the Taibach Labour Group. Davies' son, D. H. Davies, followed him into local politics, and served as Mayor of Port Talbot in 1949. (en)
