William Harold Hutchinson (1877 or 1878–19 May 1965) was a British trade unionist and Labour Party activist. Educated to secondary school level, Hutchinson became active in the Amalgamated Society of Engineers, and was first elected to its Executive Council in 1913. The following year, he was also elected to the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party, becoming its chairman in 1920. He stood for the party in Bolton at the 1924 UK general election, but was not successful.〔"(HUTCHINSON, William H )", ''Who Was Who''〕 Unusually for a trade union official, Hutchinson was a supporter of guild socialism,〔Ed. Norman Mackenzie, ''The Letters of Sidney and Beatrice Webb: Volume III'', p.91〕 and was close to G. D. H. Cole and the Fabian Society.〔Margaret Cole, ''The Story of Fabian Socialism'', p.181〕 In 1925, Hutchinson was elected to London County Council in Woolwich East, although he did not defend his seat at the following election. From 1930 to 1933, he was President of the renamed Amalgamated Engineering Union, and he served the union until his retirement in 1943. He then briefly worked as an organiser for the Industrial Orthopaedic Society, before retiring fully in 1946.〔 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Harold Hutchinson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
