    Apprentice strikes in twentieth century UK engineering and shipbuilding* Paul Ryan Management Centre King’s College London November 2004 * Earlier versions of this paper were presented to the International Conference on the European History of Vocational Education and Training, University of Florence, the ESRC Seminar on Historical Developments, Aims and Values of VET, University of Westminster, and the annual conference of the British Universities Industrial Relations Association. I would like to thank Alan McKinlay and David Lyddon for their generous assistance, and Lucy Delap, Alan MacFarlane, Brian Peat, David Raffe, Alistair Reid and Keith Snell for comments and suggestions; the Engineering Employers’ Federation and the Department of Education and Skills for access to unpublished information; the staff of the Modern Records Centre, Warwick, the Mitchell Library, Glasgow, the Caird Library, Greenwich, and the Public Record Office, Kew, for assistance with archive materials; and the Nuffield Foundation and King’s College, Cambridge for financial support. 2 Abstract Between 1910 and 1970, apprentices in the engineering and shipbuilding industries launched nine strike movements, concentrated in Scotland and Lancashire. On average, the disputes lasted for more than five weeks, drawing in more than 15,000 young people for nearly two weeks apiece. Although the disputes were in essence unofficial, they complemented sector-wide negotiations by union officials. Two interpretations are considered: a political-social-cultural one, emphasising political motivation and youth socialisation, and an economics-industrial relations one, emphasising collective action and conflicting economic interests. Both interpretations prove relevant, with qualified priority to the economics-IR one. The apprentices’ actions influenced economic outcomes, including pay structures and training incentives, and thereby contributed to the decline of apprenticeship.

  • Black and Blue on 'Red Clydeside': the Glasgow Harbour Riot Of
    1 Black Sailors on Red Clydeside: rioting, reactionary trade unionism and conflicting notions of ‘Britishness’ following the First World War Jacqueline Jenkinson University of Stirling I During the Glasgow harbour riot of January 1919 black British colonial sailors were branded as unfair economic competitors by the national seamen’s unions and their local delegates, chased out of the merchant marine hiring yard by white sailors when they sought jobs, beaten in the street, attacked in their boarding house and then targeted for mass arrest by police called in to halt the disorder. The riot was one of many during 1919 as the working class in general and ex-service personnel in particular took to the streets in violent demonstrations of dissatisfaction with the post-war employment, housing and pensions situation.1 The frustrations within society evident in the widespread rioting of 1919 were in the seaports focused on racialised minority ethnic populations who were regarded as an ‘alien’ element in the British workforce. The riot in Glasgow was soon followed by others in South Shields, Salford, London, Hull, Liverpool, Newport, Cardiff and Barry. Five people were killed in the wave of port rioting, dozens more were seriously injured and there were over 250 arrests as the police, and often troops, struggled to control the rioters. In these nine seaport riots, hostile crowds of white working class people abused and attacked black, 2 Arab, Chinese and south Asian workers, predominantly British colonial sailors. 2 During the war thousands of colonial subjects were attracted to the metropole to fill employment gaps and many of the new arrivals settled in the ports.

  • Tee 1919 Race Riots in Britain: Ti-Lir Background and Conseolences
    TEE 1919 RACE RIOTS IN BRITAIN: TI-LIR BACKGROUND AND CONSEOLENCES JACOLEUNE .ENKINSON FOR TI-E DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH 1987 ABSTRACT OF THESIS This thesis contains an empirically-based study of the race riots in Britain, which looks systematically at each of the nine major outbreaks around the country. It also looks at the background to the unrest in terms of the growing competition in the merchant shipping industry in the wake of the First World War, a trade in which most Black residents in this country were involved. One result of the social and economic dislocation following the Armistice was a general increase in the number of riots and disturbances in this country. This factor serves to put into perspective the anti-Black riots as an example of increased post-war tension, something which was occurring not only in this country, but worldwide, often involving recently demobilised men, both Black and white. In this context the links between the riots in Britain and racial unrest in the West Indies and the United States are discussed; as is the growth of 'popular racism' in this country and the position of the Black community in Britain pre- and post- riot. The methodological approach used is that of Marxist historians of the theory of riot, although this study in part, offers a revision of the established theory. ACKNOWLEDcEJvNTS I would like to thank Dr. Ian Duffield, my tutor and supervisor at Edinburgh University, whose guidance and enthusiasm helped me along the way to the completion of this thesis.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 A bstract. This study concerns the origins and early years of the Queen Margaret Settlement (here­ after QMS) in Glasgow, from its foundation in 1897 until the outbreak of war in 1914. The QMS merits study because of its pivotal role in several related fields, all of which underwent crucial change in this period. The QMS was part of the wider Settlement movement which arose in the 1880s as part of the contemporary ‘rediscovery of poverty’. In the new thinking about the ‘organic’ nature of society, Settlements were a response to the alienation from each other of the urban social classes. The initial aim of the Settle­ ments was to restore the social balance within poor areas by enabling University students to live in Residences as neighbours to the poor; in time many Settlements developed a strong interest in educating workers to understand the conditions they encountered.

  • The Provincial Press and the Community: an Historical Perspective
    The Provincial Press and the Community: an historical perspective. Rachel Matthews Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies Cardiff University This thesis is submitted to Cardiff University in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. September 2014 2 Acknowledgements. This thesis owes its inception to the many stalwarts of the local papers with whom it has been my privilege to work during my time as a journalist. Their commitment and professionalism deserves much more recognition than they ever get and my hope is that this thesis goes some way to redressing that balance. My research has taken me into archives and libraries across England and I would like to thank all those people who work tirelessly to preserve the history of the local newspaper. It is a valuable and necessary job. Finally, this thesis would not have been completed without the patient support of my supervisor, Professor Bob Franklin, and the goodwill of my family, many friends and colleagues who have been cheerleading from the touchline during the time it has taken to complete. Your faith has seen me over the finish line. 3 4 Abstract. Serving the good of the community is a professional value prized by those who work in the provincial press. It is also seen as a vital role for local newspapers by those outside the industry. A localised form of the Fourth Estate, the good of the community therefore justifies and underpins the routines and news values of those who work in regional and local news organisations. This thesis investigates the extent to which this notion serves as a functional value for the English provincial news industry; it positions it within an historical context to understand its relationship with the economic structure of the local newspaper.

  • 'English in Spirit': G. K. Chesterton and the Debate Over Church and State
    The Catholic Social Science Review 13 (2008): 47-76 “ENGLISH IN SPIRIT”: G. K. CHESTERTON, CHURCH AND STATE, AND THE 1906 EDUCATION ACT DEBATE Susan E. Hanssen University of Dallas The efforts of Liberals to complete the project of a universal non-sectarian public education system launched in 1870 came to a head with their victory in the election of 1906. Liberals identified two popular Liberal essayists, Augustine Birrell and G. K. Chesterton, as leaders who could shepherd through a new religious education compromise as Secretary of Education and vox populi respectively. The failure of the bill, which has had repercussions lasting to today—can be attributed to the resistance of Conservatives in the House of Lords, to the political mishandling of Augustine Birrell, and to G. K. Chesterton’s unexpected opposition. Introduction During the controversy surrounding the British Liberal Education Bill in 1906, against an alliance between the patriotic right and democratic left in support of a program that would enable the system of public education to replace all independent schooling, G. K. Chesterton reared his head and bellowed—to the surprise and annoyance of his erstwhile liberal political allies: “There is no such thing as education: the thing is merely a loose phrase for passing on to others whatever truth or virtue we happen to have ourselves…There is no education apart from some particular kind of education. There is no education that is not sectarian education.”1 Chesterton’s voice was literally everywhere in the debate over religious education that year. His insistence on the primacy of strictly educational concerns—concern for the truth!—over the achievement of either national unity or popular control was a highly disruptive force and contributed significantly to the bill’s failure.
