| 释义 |
William Henry Brown (1867 or 1868 – 15 December 1950) was a British co-operative movement journalist and activist. Born in East London, Brown studied at Toynbee Hall and the Oxford House University Settlement, becoming a pupil-teacher. In 1888, he began working for the South Hants Evening Star, then, the following year, moved to become assistant editor of the British Trade Journal, then moving on to Architecture.[1] Brown had known leading members of the co-operative movement from an early age, through his father. He worked with Edward Owen Greening to form the International Co-operative Alliance, and from 1895 to 1916 worked for the Co-operative News, for most of the time as its London correspondent. He then moved to Manchester to work in the publicity department of the Co-operative Wholesale Society, as editor of the Producer, also working on writing histories of several local co-operative societies.[1] At the 1918 general election, Brown stood for the Co-operative Party in Mossley, but was not elected. He retired in 1934, but continued to assist with producing the Co-operative Review and write on co-operative history.[1] References1. ^1 2 Joyce Bellamy, Dictionary of Labour Biography, vol.I, pp.54-56 {{DEFAULTSORT:Brown, William Henry}} 5 : 1860s births|1950 deaths|Co-operative Party politicians|English journalists|Journalists from London |
