Biography

Taylor was born in

AWU in 1902, eventually becoming an organiser for the union in Adelaide from 1909 until 1911.[1]

1912 saw him working as a miner in

Labor Party and acquired a reputation as a soapbox orator who spoke on topics, usually involving political theory, economics and rationalism, in great detail and with utmost seriousness.[1]

In 1919 he was involved in the

Queensland Premier, T. J. Ryan. Although the court found in favour of the commonwealth, on that same day all the prisoners were released under a general amnesty granted to mark the official declaration of peace.[1]

His appeal was the start of a close friendship with Ryan, which was instrumental in Taylor securing a position in the Public Service as a clerk in the Tourist Bureau. This appointment was a stepping stone to his eventual entry into state politics, as it gave him more time to devote to his political career. He was also a member of the

Freemasons and president of the Returned Soldiers Labour League.[1]

In 1915 he married Hilda Ward at Broken Hill and together had one daughter. He later entered into a de facto relationship in Brisbane which resulted in another daughter and one son, George 1922.

On the 29 October 1941, Taylor, along with the

QPP candidate, Kenneth Morris.[4]
