John Wheatley

John Wheatley (1869 – 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 in the Baillieston district, as his father had done in Ireland, and was then briefly 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 How the Miners Were Robbed (1907), 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).
