Will H. Daly

Will H. Daly (May 25, 1869 – March 23, 1924) was a Portland, Oregon, labor leader, progressive politician and businessman. He was the first person to head both the Oregon State Federation of Labor and the Central Labor Council of Portland. He was also the first labor leader to serve on the Portland City Council, but was unsuccessful in a mayoral bid, largely due to a vigorous campaign to discredit him by The Oregonian, the city's largest newspaper. He was active in the People's Power League.[1] Daly was also a supporter of the single tax schemes advocated by followers of the popular political economist Henry George.
