    Lewis McDonald (1881-1936), printer and Labor Party administrator, was born on 22 December 1881 at Auchterhead, Lanark, Scotland. Educated at the Brisbane Central School and at university extension classes, McDonald became an apprentice printer but fell ill and in 1905 moved to Mourilyan, North Queensland, where he helped to organize the Amalgamated Sugar Workers' Union. He became assistant secretary to the central political executive of the Queensland Labor Party on 30 August 1909. Secretary of the Queensland anti-conscription campaign committees in 1916-17, McDonald used his considerable administrative abilities to facilitate a 'No' vote both times. An extrovert, McDonald enjoyed a beer, could tell a good story, and liked old-time musical comedies. While he used his secretarial skills in the interests of the A.W.U. faction, he was never personally self-seeking, but he certainly facilitated the growth of an 'official' machine which, with its complaisant politicians, ultimately controlled the movement at the expense of the grassroots and the militant unions. John Curtin called him 'an admirable officer with sound judgment and resolute decision [whose] capacity for makeshift endeared him to all. Others, excluded from office and influence, were less charitable about this gentle, persistent, rule-mongering functionary. McDonald's early craft-union radicalism and personal political hopes were submerged by those structures, rules, and manipulations endemic in that Queensland Labor establishment which he had done so much to construct, refine, and facilitate. McDonald died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage at Highgate Hill, Brisbane, on 18 September 1936. Although cremated with Anglican rites, McDonald had long maintained no formal creed.
