Robinson Graham

Robinson Graham (born 1878) was a British trade unionist and politician.

Born in Burnley, Graham became a weaver and was active in the Burnley Weavers' Association, becoming its assistant secretary in 1911 and serving for many years. He was also active in Labour Party, for whom he stood in the Nelson and Colne by-election, 1920. He won the seat, but fell out with the United Textile Factory Workers' Association, which was sponsoring his candidacy, and the Labour Party leadership, and was pressurised into standing down at the 1922 general election. He concentrated on his trade union office; in 1941, he became secretary of the Burnley Weavers, serving until 1947.
