  • The Amendment of August 1926 to the First Polish Constitution of the Second Republic*
    Krakowskie Studia z Historii Państwa i Prawa 2014; 7 (2), s. 317–322 doi: 10.4467/20844131KS.14.022.2263 www.ejournals.eu/Krakowskie-Studia-z-Historii-Panstwa-i-Prawa GRZEGORZ M. KOWALSKI Jagiellonian University in Kraków The Amendment of August 1926 to the first Polish Constitution of the Second Republic* Abstract On the political-legal plane, the direct consequence of the May coup organized by Józef Piłsudski in 1926 was an amendment of the March constitution of 1921. The above amendment was commonly referred to as the August amendment from the name of the month in which the two laws changing the constitution had been passed (2 August 1926). The core of the August amendment consisted in a strengthening of the position of the executive organs of the state at the expense of the Diet and the senate. The president obtained the right to dissolve parliament before the end of its term, following the motion of the ministers’ council. Moreover, the president obtained the prerogatives to pass resolutions with the power of parliamentary laws and obtained new budgetary prerogatives. Parliament, on the other hand, became restricted as regards its powers to pass a no confi dence vote towards the Ministers’ Council or any individual minister. The political conceptions implemented by the interwar government aimed at doing away with the principle of a tri-partite division of state power in favor of a concentration of power in the hands of the state’s president. The above conception had been fully realized in the new constitution of the Republic of Poland of 1935.

  • The Leicestershire Miners and the Mining Dispute of 1926
    COLIN P. GRIFFIN THE LEICESTERSHIRE MINERS AND THE MINING DISPUTE OF 1926 Leicestershire is one of the East Midland's smaller coalfields, though it was growing faster than any other coalfield in the two decades before the First World War,1 and its output, and number of persons employed, unlike those of many far larger coalfields, were greater in 1925 than they had been in 1913.2 Annual average earnings per shift were also among the highest in the country and the level of unemploy- ment among the miners was relatively low by coal-mining standards.3 The Leicestershire Miners' Association had 7,428 members at the end of 1925, which represented about three-quarters of the coal-miners employed in the coalfield,4 and relations with the coal-owners were by tradition peaceful with the owners agreeing to assist the LMA's "closed shop" policy and allowing union business to be conducted on colliery premises.5 The Leicestershire coalfield was one of that select band of inland coalfields that enjoyed relative prosperity in the early 1920's, and this state of affairs was reflected in the fact that the owners did not lock their men out to enforce either reduced wages or increased hours in May 1926,6 but rather the miners struck in support of the policies of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain, to which they had been affiliated since its inception in 1889.7 Despite the fact that the LMA had achieved a high level of unionisa- tion in the coalfield, its financial position at the end of 1925 (£24,029 1 J.

    PUBLIC HEALTH REPORTS VOL. 41 AUGUST 20, 1926 No. 34 THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC OF 1926 A Preliminary Note on Certain Epidemiological Indicat.ons1 The wave of influenza in the late winter and spring of 1926 in the United States was more than ordinarily severe when compared with the influenza outbreaks which have occurred since 1920. MIeas- ured by the excess of mortality over the corresponding period in 1925, which was not an "influenza year," the toll in lives exacted by the disease was by no means negligible. In fact, were it not for the over-shadowing pandemic of 1918, which caused over 500,000 deaths in the United States alone, and the epidemic of 1920, which caused about 100,000 deaths in this couintry, the 1996 outbreak would have been regarded as a calamity. TABLE I.-Comparison of weekly mortality rates per 1,000 population from all causes in large cities of the United States during the period December 27, 1925- May 29, 1926, with those for the corresponding period in 1924-25 Rate per 1,000 Rate per 1,000 Week ended- Corre- Week ended- Corre- sponding Exoess 1 spondingweek in inExcess1926 1926 week in in 1026 1925 1925 1926 1926 Jan. 2 -14.4 14.3 0.1 Apr. 3 -17.7 14.7 3.0 Jan. 9 -15 6 14.6 1.0 Apr. 10 -17.4 14.0 3.4 Jan. 16- 14.9 14.2 .7 Apr. 17 -158 14.5 1. 3 Jan. 23 -14.9 14.2 .7 Apr. 24 -15.5 14.6 .9 Jan.

For several years, those two matters had consumed golf analysts around the globe, but there would be little room for debate by December 1926. A year earlier, however, there was plenty of argument, especially on the first issue. Hagen had won two British Opens and finished runner-up in three attempts; he also had won the match-play championship for his class the previous two years. Jones had won a U.S. Open and finished runner-up three times in his last four attempts; he, too, had won the match-play championship for his class in 1924 and 1925.

Shearer and Carolyn Clark 6.1 Introduction In the literature on the pre-World War I international gold standard, Canada has a prominent place (e.g., Viner 1924); in the literature on the interwar gold standard, Canada is but a footnote. One reason is obvious. Between the wars Canada was only legally "on gold" for two-and-a-half years (1 July 1926-January 1929), and even during this period the govern­ ment was not strongly committed to the gold standard as a monetary­ control'mechanism. In practice if not always in spirit, Canada was a flexible-exchange-rate country (Chisholm 1979; Knox n.d.). Nonetheless, at least two aspects of Canada's interwar monetary ex­ perience should be of interest to students of the gold standard. On the one hand, the restoration of gold convertibility at the prewar ex­ change-rate parity with the U.S.
