Joseph Musiol

Joseph Musiol (; born 22 June 1865 in Mikołów) was a Silesian politician. He served as secretary of the Catholic Trade Union, as a member of the town council in Bytom, and argued for the independence of Upper Silesia as a multilingual but unified state like Switzerland. He was expelled from the Catholic People's Party in April 1921 for activities that clashed with the official stance of the party. Around the same time, all local groups in Bytom were dissolved, and in early February 1921, Musiol was excluded from the leadership of his party. After leaving his position as deputy, he became manager of the law office of the Polish-language newspaper Katolik (Catholic). He co-founded and managed a propaganda of the Union of Upper Silesians beginning in 1919, and he served as leader of the Union from December 1921 until its dissolution, in 1924.

In 1922, he ran for a town council position in Bytom as part of the Union Tenants Protection. Nothing is known of his life after 1924.
