Walter Macarthur

Walter Macarthur (March 9, 1862 – December 8, 1944) was a Scottish-American labor leader and writer who served nearly twenty years as a United States Shipping Commissioner. He was one of the founders of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific, and was the longtime editor of its official organ, the Coast Seamen's Journal. He was involved with the San Francisco Union Labor Party before disavowing it over its corruption, and was a co-founder of the Asiatic Exclusion League. In 1910 he ran for Congress against Julius Kahn.
