Early lifeMunro was born in Dunedin in 1870. He was a baker by trade, and president of the Dunedin Bakers' Union in 1907. He started his own business in partnership with Peter Neilson (who also became a Labour MP) after victimisation by employers.{{sfn|Gustafson|1980|p=163}} Munro was president of the Dunedin branch of the Independent Political Labour League (IPLL) in 1907. In 1911, he was national president of the New Zealand Socialist Party.{{sfn|Gustafson|1980|p=163}} Political career{{NZ parlbox header|nolist=true|align=left}}{{NZ parlbox|start = {{By-election link year|Dunedin North|1922}} |term = 20th |electorate = Dunedin North |party = New Zealand Labour Party }}{{NZ parlbox |start = {{NZ election link year|1922}} |end = 1925 |term = 21st |electorate = Dunedin North |party = New Zealand Labour Party }}{{NZ parlbox break}}{{NZ parlbox |start = {{NZ election link year|1928}} |end = 1931 |term = 23rd |electorate = Dunedin North |party = New Zealand Labour Party }}{{NZ parlbox |start = {{NZ election link year|1931}} |end = 1935 |term = 24th |electorate = Dunedin North |party = New Zealand Labour Party }}{{NZ parlbox |start = {{NZ election link year|1935}} |end = 1938 |term = 25th |electorate = Dunedin North |party = New Zealand Labour Party }}{{NZ parlbox |start = {{NZ election link year|1938}} |end = 1943 |term = 26th |electorate = Dunedin North |party = New Zealand Labour Party }}{{NZ parlbox |start = {{NZ election link year|1943}} |end = 1945 |term = 27th |electorate = Dunedin North |party = New Zealand Labour Party }}{{end}} He first stood for Parliament when he contested the {{NZ electorate link|Dunedin West}} electorate in the {{NZ election link|1908}} for the IPLL.[1] On this occasion, he was beaten by John A. Millar of the Liberal Party.[2] He contested the same electorate in the {{NZ election link|1911}} for the Socialist Party as one of three candidates and was eliminated in the first ballot.[3][4] He unsuccessfully contested the {{NZ election link|1914}} in the {{NZ electorate link|Dunedin Central}} electorate for the United Labour Party against Charles Statham of the Reform Party. Statham resigned after the election after irregularities in the counting of the vote turned a 12-vote lead for Munro into a 12-vote loss.{{sfn|Gustafson|1980|p=163}}[5] Munro and Statham contested the resulting {{By-election link|Dunedin Central|1915}}, which was narrowly won by Statham.{{sfn|Wilson|1985|p=236}} Munro and Statham contested the Dunedin Central electorate again in the {{NZ election link|1919}}, Munro standing for the Labour Party, and Statham as an Independent.{{sfn|Gustafson|1980|p=163}} The incumbent was successful.[6] Munro represented the electorate of Dunedin North in Parliament from the {{By-election link|Dunedin North|1922}} to 1925, and from {{NZ election link year|1928}} to 1945, when he died.{{sfn|Wilson|1985|p=222}} In 1935, he was awarded the King George V Silver Jubilee Medal.[7] He was not appointed a minister in 1935 as he had a reputation for being lazy, and had embarrassed Savage a week before the 1935 election by stating that: "if anyone tried to stop a Labour government carrying out its policy, Labour might have to ‘smash things’ and put directors and managers in gaol on a bread and water diet ‘as some of our Communist friends were dealt with’ until they learnt to obey the government".{{sfn|Gustafson|1986|p=177}} He was on the Dunedin City Council (1927–1945) and Dunedin Harbour Board.{{sfn|Gustafson|1980|p=163}} He died in Dunedin on 27 May 1945,{{sfn|Wilson|1985|p=222}}[8] and his ashes were buried at Andersons Bay Cemetery.[9] Notes1. ^{{cite news |title=Dunedin West |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TH19081017.2.53.3 |accessdate=15 November 2013 |newspaper=Taranaki Herald |date=17 October 1908 |volume=LIV |issue=13785 |page=5}} 2. ^{{cite web |title=The General Election, 1908 |url= http://atojs.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/atojs?a=d&d=AJHR1909-II.2.5.2.12 |publisher=National Library |accessdate=14 April 2012 |page=22 | year=1909}} 3. ^{{cite news |title=Dunedin West Seat |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=HNS19111121.2.31.5 |accessdate=16 November 2013 |newspaper=Hawera & Normanby Star |date=21 November 1911 |volume=LXII |page=5}} 4. ^{{cite web |title=The General Election, 1911 |url= http://atojs.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/atojs?a=d&d=AJHR1912-II.2.4.2.20 |publisher=National Library |accessdate=1 August 2013 |page=8 | year=1912}} 5. ^{{cite web |title=The General Election, 1914 |url= http://atojs.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/atojs?a=d&d=AJHR1915-I.2.3.2.36 |publisher=National Library |accessdate=1 August 2013 |page=25 | year=1915}} 6. ^{{cite book |title=The New Zealand Official Year-Book |year=1920 |publisher=Government Printer |url=http://www3.stats.govt.nz/New_Zealand_Official_Yearbooks/1920/NZOYB_1920.html#idsect1_1_40386 |accessdate=2 August 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140901182637/http://www3.stats.govt.nz/New_Zealand_Official_Yearbooks/1920/NZOYB_1920.html#idsect1_1_40386 |archivedate=1 September 2014 |df=dmy-all }} 7. ^{{cite news | url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=EP19350506.2.12 | title=Official jubilee medals | date=6 May 1935 | volume=CXIX | issue=105 | newspaper=The Evening Post | accessdate=8 March 2014 | page=4}} 8. ^{{cite news | url=http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=EP19450528.2.55 | title=Obituary: Mr. J.
