| 释义 |
John William Roberts (1885–1962) was a New Zealand clothing worker, trade unionist and political activist. He was born in Holbeck, Yorkshire, England in 1885. A conscientious objector in World War I, Roberts was deprived of civil liberties for ten years, and was unable to return to politics after the war, so joined the trade union movement instead, serving across a range of unions. In the build up to and during World War II, he actively campaigned against conscription, unlike other World War I conscientious-objectors-cum-labour-supporters such as Peter Fraser.[1] He was elected to the Woolston Borough Council in 1917 as a Labour Party candidate.[1] References1. ^1 {{DNZB|title=John William Roberts|first= Kath|last= Clark|id=4r20|accessdate=14 January 2012}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Roberts, John William}}{{NewZealand-bio-stub}} 9 : 1885 births|1962 deaths|New Zealand activists|New Zealand trade unionists|New Zealand conscientious objectors|New Zealand Labour Party politicians|Social Democratic Party (New Zealand) politicians|New Zealand Socialist Party politicians|Local political office-holders in New Zealand |
