Cremer,
Sir (William) Randal (b. March 18,
1838, Fareham, Wiltshire, Eng.--d. July 22, 1908, London), British trade
unionist and pacifist who won the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1903 for his advocacy
of international arbitration.
In 1860 he was one of the founders of
the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners. He was secretary of the
British section of the International Working Men's Association (First
International) but resigned because of a dispute with another leader. During the
Franco-German War (1870-71) he formed a workingmen's committee to advocate
British neutrality. This group developed into the Workmen's Peace Association,
of which Cremer was secretary until
his death. Cremer was a member of the
House of Commons from 1885 to 1895 and from 1900 to 1908. He was knighted in
1907.
