James Joseph Mallon

James Joseph Mallon, CH JP (24 December 1874 – 12 April 1961) was a British economist and political activist.

In 1903, he joined the Independent Labour Party and the Fabian Society, and from 1905 he served a year on the executive of his union.

[1] Mallon moved to London in 1906 to work at the Toynbee Hall settlement, and in addition became secretary of the National League to Establish a Minimum Wage.

These years in which he held the wardenship are judged by historians and residents alike to be the "most successful" in the Settlement's history.

[1] During World War II, he was chairman of the Friendly Aliens Protection Committee, a group dedicated to the interests of refugees from enemy nations, including, in particular, Jews.
