- John_Wheatley abstract "John Wheatley (19 May 1869 – 12 May 1930) was a Scottish socialist politician. He was a prominent figure of the Red Clydeside era.Wheatley was born in Bonmahon, County Waterford, Ireland, to Thomas and Johanna Wheatley. In 1876 the family moved to Braehead, Lanarkshire in Scotland. Initially, he worked as a miner, as his father had done in Ireland, and then briefly as a publican, but he later ran his own successful printing business which specialised in publishing leftist political works, many of which Wheatley wrote himself such as The Catholic Workingman (1909), Miners, Mines and Misery (1909), Eight Pound Cottages for Glasgow Citizens (1913), Municipal Banking (1920) and The New Rent Act (1920). A deeply religious man and practising Roman Catholic, he was influenced by early Christian-socialist thinkers, and in 1907 he joined the Independent Labour Party (ILP). He founded and was the first chairman of the Catholic Socialist Society.[citation needed]He campaigned against the UK's involvement in the First World War, campaigning against conscription, and assisting in organising rent strikes in Glasgow.[citation needed]He sat as a councillor on Glasgow's city council, becoming one of the best known in the city, before being elected to the House of Commons in the 1922 General Election for Glasgow Shettleston. He was a great supporter of Glasgow Celtic Football Club.The Labour leader, Ramsay MacDonald sometimes disapproved of Wheatley's debating methods as well as his friendship with James Maxton who was suspended from the Commons on one occasion when he called a Conservative MP Sir Frederick Banbury a murderer for a proposed cut in child-welfare. Wheatley however worked closely with his ILP colleagues in the Parliamentary Labour Party, especially, James Maxton.[citation needed]He was known as the intellectual behind the ILP activities. Along with many of the other ILP MPs, especially those from Clydeside, Wheatley found himself drifting from the Labour leadership under MacDonald. Wheatley remained a widely respected political figure and when MacDonald became Prime Minister in January 1924, he appointed him as his Minister of Health. Wheatley's is best remembered for his Housing Act, which he introduced in this period, which saw a massive expansion in affordable municipal housing for the working-class.[citation needed]Wheatley criticised MacDonald's moving Labour to the right and consequently found himself unappointed to the Labour Government formed after the 1929 General Election. He refused to support many of the measures proposed by MacDonald's government and along with Maxton (by now Wheatley's leader in the ILP) became one of the Labour-left's leading critics. On 9 May 1924, H. G. Wells led a delegation to ask for birth control reforms. The delegation asked for two things: that institutions under Ministry of Health control should give contraceptive advice to those who asked for it; and that doctors at welfare centres should be allowed to offer advice in certain medical cases. Wheatley held strong views against birth control and refused to support the campaign.[citation needed]".
