Cremer, Sir Randal, in full SIR WILLIAM RANDAL CREMER (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.

Une page d'histoire : WILLIAM RANDAL CREMER Cofondateur de l'Union interparlementaire avec (France) Prix Nobel de la Paix (1828-1908) Aux côtés d'autres dirigeants ouvriers, Cremer fut associé à diverses campagnes sur les grandes questions internationales de l'époque : soutien aux Nordistes dans la guerre de sécession américaine et aux Polonais dans leur révolte contre la Russie, accueil en Angleterre de Garibaldi, héros du Risorgimento italien. Ces activités aboutirent à la création en 1864 de la Working Men's Peace Association à laquelle prirent part Karl Marx et d'autres socialistes d'Europe continentale. Elu Secrétaire honoraire en 1865, Cremer démissionna deux ans plus tard en déclarant que l'organisation était passée sous le contrôle d'"hommes plus soucieux de leurs 'ismes' que du combat pour un véritable progrès". Il fut même candidat à la députation en 1868 mais échoua dans cette première tentative. Dans son programme électoral figure une revendication courante chez les militants pacifistes de l'époque : l'appel à la "création d'une ligue internationale d'arbitrage chargée de régler les différends entre les nations en vue d'aboutir au désarmement général et d'instaurer une ère de paix". En décembre 1903, on apprit que Cremer avait reçu le Prix Nobel, qu'il méritait amplement. Il dut différer le discours d'usage jusqu'en janvier 1905. Alors âgé de 76 ans, mais toujours aussi consciencieux, il fit le long voyage jusqu'en Norvège malgré les rigueurs de l'hiver et y célébra "les progrès et les avantages de l'arbitrage".

Nobel Peace Prize From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Nobel Prize/Peace The Nobel Peace Prize (where Nobel is pronounced with the stress on the second syllable) is one of five Nobel Prizes bequested by the Swedish industrialist and inventor Alfred Nobel . While the Physics, Chemistry, Medicine and Literature Prizes are awarded annually in Stockholm , the Peace Prize is awarded in the Norwegian capital of Oslo . The Norwegian Nobel Committee , whose members are chosen by the Norwegian Parliament , is appointed to select the laureate for the Peace Prize, and the prize is awarded by its chairman, Dr. Ole Danbolt Mjøs . At the time of Alfred Nobel's death Sweden and Norway were in a personal union in which the Swedish parliament was solely responsible for foreign policy and the Norwegian Parliament was responsible only for Norwegian domestic policy. Alfred Nobel therefore stipulated that the Peace Prize be awarded by Norway rather than Sweden in order to prevent the manipulation of the selection process by foreign powers. According to the will of Alfred Nobel the prize should be awarded "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses".

Other countries followed, and societies were established in France and Switzerland not long afterward. In 1828 William Ladd , one of the early pacifists, welded the many local societies that had been established in the United States into the American Peace Society. Soon more radical pacifists came to the fore, and the peace movement in the United States became connected with other causes under the leadership of such men as Elihu Burritt and William Lloyd Garrison . However, Garrison later abandoned his pacifism and advocated war to end slavery. The first international peace congress met in London in 1843, marking the earliest attempt to organize on an international scale. Both the Mexican War and the Crimean War checked development temporarily, and the Civil War completely destroyed for the moment the peace movement in the United States. After the Civil War the movement reappeared in new forms, influenced strongly by the internationalists. The efforts of FrEdEric Passy in France and of Sir William Randal Cremer in Great Britain led to the foundation of the Inter-Parliamentary Union in 1892. The International Peace Bureau was founded at Bern, Switzerland in 1892. The award of the Nobel Peace Prize (see

Historical focus: WILLIAM RANDAL CREMER Co-founder of the Inter-Parliamentary Union with (France) and Nobel Peace Price Winner (1828-1908) The life of Sir William Randal Cremer is something of a rags-to-riches story. Born in 1828, in abject poverty, and with only a scanty education which ended at age twelve when he went to work in the shipyards, Cremer made his way upward with his exceptional skills as an organizer, becoming one of the first representatives of the working class in Parliament, a leader of the emerging international peace movement in the late nineteenth century and the winner of one of the very first Nobel Peace Prizes. Randal Cremer (he preferred to drop the William) was born to poor working-class parents in a small town in Hampshire, England. Not long after his birth, his father deserted the family, leaving his mother to raise three young children in poverty. At fifteen Cremer was apprenticed to a carpenter, and it was as a journeyman carpenter that at the age of twenty-four he came to London to seek his fortune. This he found in the trade-union movement, where his leadership qualities were soon recognized. At the age of thirty he was helping organize the campaign for a nine-hour day, and he went on to become a national leader of the carpenters' union and a member of the London Trades Council. With other working-class leaders Cremer was drawn into campaigns on international questions of the day: support of the North in the American civil war, of the Poles in their revolt against Russia, and the welcoming to England of Giuseppe Garibaldi, the hero of the Italian Risorgimento. These activities led to the establishment in 1864 of the International Working Men's Association, in which Karl Marx and other socialists from the continent took part. Cremer was elected general secretary in 1865, but resigned after two years, later maintaining that the organization had come under the direction of "men who cared more for their isms than for the cause of real progress."

19. Randal Cremer - Biography give 1838 as the year of cremer s birth. sir randal s biographer, Howard Evans, gives1828 Daniel Street, Portsea, Portsmouth (RG4/563) «william randall, son http://www.nobel.se/peace/laureates/1903/cremer-bio.html

William Randal Cremer (March 18, 1828 -July 22, 1908) was born in the small town of Fareham, England, not far from Portsmouth, into a working class family at a time when intense misery was the workingman's lot. His father, a coach painter, deserted the family while the boy was still an infant. His mother, an indomitable woman, raised her son and two daughters despite stringent poverty and even sent her son to school - a church school, for she was a strong Methodist. At fifteen he was apprenticed to an uncle in the building trades, eventually becoming a full-fledged carpenter. During this time he supplemented his meager formal education by attending lectures. On one occasion he heard a lecture on peace in which the speaker suggested that international disputes be settled by arbitration, an idea that Cremer never forgot. Cremer moved to London in 1852. There his capacity for administration was recognized in 1858 when, at the age of thirty, he was elected to a council of those running a campaign for the nine-hour day; later in that year he was one of seven who directed labor during a lockout of 70,000 men. He was instrumental in forming a single union for his trade: the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners; he participated in the formation of the International Working Men's Association but withdrew his support when the Association was taken over by more revolutionary thinkers. Inevitably, it occurred to Cremer that labor should be actively represented in Parliament. He stood for Warwick in 1868 on a liberal platform calling for the vote by ballot, compulsory education, Irish disestablishment, direct taxation, land reform, amendment of the laws governing labor unions, creation of courts of conciliation to handle labor-management disputes and of international boards of arbitration to adjudicate disputes among nations. He was defeated then and again in 1874. But after the third Reform Bill of 1885 created the new constituency of Haggerston in suburban London, which consisted almost entirely of workingmen, he was elected to Parliament in 1885, 1886, and 1892. Defeated in 1895, he was reelected in 1900, retaining his seat until his death.

The Nobel Peace Prize 1908 Nobel Committee , on December 10, 1908 On behalf of the Nobel Committee of the Norwegian Parliament, I have the honor to extend a welcome to all who have assembled here on this occasion commemorating the great Swedish patron and benefactor, Alfred Nobel , who gave the whole of his large fortune to the solution of problems concerning the future fate of mankind. Since we last met here, one of the winners of the Peace Prize, Randal Cremer , has left us forever ; but he has left behind the memory of a great personality and of a warm friend of peace and of mankind. I invite you all to honor his memory by standing. This year the Nobel Committee has unanimously decided to divide the Peace Prize between former member of the Swedish Parliament, K.P. Arnoldson, and former member of the Danish Parliament, Fredrik Bajer. It is a great pleasure for the Committee to award the prize to these gentlemen, since it is convinced that its choice accords with the general desire in the Scandinavian countries. They have both been untiring advocates of the ideals of peace. K.P. Arnoldson was born in Gothenburg in 1844 and in his youth was in the service of the Swedish Railways. At the same time, however, he also worked for the press as a journalist and author, one of his favorite subjects even then being the cause of peace. From 1882 to 1887 Arnoldson was a member of the Lower House of the Swedish Parliament. In 1883 he put forward a proposal for an address to the king, petitioning for a declaration of permanent neutrality by Sweden. The proposal was not adopted, but the House recommended that the government should continue to work along the lines of the proposal. In the same year Arnoldson helped to found the
