University of Sheffield Library. Special Collections and Archives Ref: MS 90 Title: Madin Collection Scope: The papers of Joseph Madin, Sheffield trades unionist and Labour Party activist, and co-founder of the Sheffield Labour College, circa 1913 to 1959. The collection also includes his personal library of books and pamphlets. Dates: c. 1913-1959 Level: Fonds Extent: 14 boxes Name of creator: Joseph Madin Administrative / biographical history: The collection comprises the papers, including many press cuttings, of Joseph Madin, Sheffield trades-unionist and Labour Party activist, together with his personal library of books and pamphlets. Other ephemera such as election pamphlets are included. Joseph Madin (1892-1967) was a local trades unionist and co-founder of the Sheffield Labour College. He was born in July 1892 at Crookes, Sheffield, and after an education in Sheffield Council schools became a turner by trade. Brought up an Anglican, he moved away from the Church in his youth, becoming a socialist at the age of 14, soon following his two elder brothers into the Socialist Labour Party. In 1914 he joined the Amalgamated Society of Engineers (later the Amalgamated Engineering Union) and served as a shop steward at Hadfields, Tinsley, during the First World War. Subsequently he held numerous other posts in the AEU, serving as member of the District Committee, as Branch President and as District President, and serving on the Sheffield Trades Unionist and Labour Council over a period of 47 years, ultimately holding office as President from 1946 to 1960. As President of the Sheffield Trades and Labour Council he sat on the City Council Labour Group and Executive Committee for seven years, and was also a delegate from his AEU branch to the Park Constituency Labour Party, 1926- 1930 and 1947-1967. From 1949 he was an Executive Committee member of the Yorkshire Regional Council of the Labour Party, being appointed its Vice-Chairman in 1952. Madin helped to establish the Sheffield Labour College in 1919, becoming its organiser, and it was on the initiative of the Sheffield College, together with the Labour Colleges of London, Manchester and Scotland that the National Council of Labour Colleges was founded. From 1918 to 1934 he was a tutor and held classes in Sheffield, South Yorkshire and North 1 Derbyshire on Economics, Industrial and Social History, Social Development, Philosophy and Chairmanship, as well as delivering many lectures to AEU branches during the period. During the Second World War he helped to form the Sheffield Fabian Society, holding the office of President from 1957 until his death. He edited Sheffield Forward, the organ of the Sheffield Labour Party, and was on the editorial board of Socialist Commentary, the Fabian Society’s national publication. Apart from his Labour and Trade Union activities, Madin served on the Rent Tribunal from 1946, became a Justice of the Peace in 1947 and became a member of the Board of Governors of Sheffield Teaching Hospitals in 1948. In 1952 he was appointed to the Court of Sheffield University, and his work on behalf of the Labour movement and his other activities were recognised in 1959 by the conferment of an honorary LL.M. degree by the University. In later life he returned to the Church and helped to found the Sheffield Industrial Mission. Madin died on 3rd February 1967 and later that year a Joe Madin Memorial Trust for educational work was set up. Source: Collection presented to Sheffield University on his death.

    The Labour Party Is More Than the Shadow Cabinet, and Corbyn Must Learn to Engage with It

    The Labour Party is more than the shadow cabinet, and Corbyn must learn to engage with it blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/the-labour-party-is-more-than-the-shadow-cabinet/ 1/11/2016 The three-day reshuffle of the shadow cabinet might have helped Jeremy Corbyn stamp his mark on the party but he needs to do more to ensure his leadership lasts, writes Eunice Goes. She explains the Labour leader must engage with all groups that have historically made up the party, while his rhetoric should focus more on policies that resonate with the public. Doing so will require a stronger vision of what he means by ‘new politics’ and, crucially, a better communications strategy. By Westminster standards Labour’s shadow cabinet reshuffle was ‘shambolic’ and had the key ingredients of a ‘pantomime’. At least, it was in those terms that it was described by a large number of Labour politicians and Westminster watchers. It certainly wasn’t slick, or edifying. Taking the best of a week to complete a modest shadow cabinet reshuffle was revealing of the limited authority the leader Jeremy Corbyn has over the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP). Against the wishes of the Labour leader, the Shadow Foreign Secretary Hilary Benn and the Shadow Chief Whip Rosie Winterton kept their posts. However, Corbyn was able to assert his authority in other ways. He moved the pro-Trident Maria Eagle from Defence and appointed the anti-Trident Emily Thornberry to the post. He also imposed some ground rules on Hillary Benn and got rid of Michael Dugher and Pat McFadden on the grounds of disloyalty.

Their ardor alternated between a vague ideal and the common yearning of womanhood; so that the one was disapproved as extravagance, and the other condemned as a lapse. – George Eliot, Middlemarch, 1872 Table of Contents Acknowledgements ................................................................................................................... 2 Abbreviations ............................................................................................................................ 3 Introduction .............................................................................................................................. 4 The End of Edwardian England: Pankhurst’s Political Development ................................. 12 After the War: Pankhurst’s Collisions with Communism and the State .............................. 21 Appealing Sedition: Performativity of Communism and Suffrage ....................................... 33 Prison and Release: Attempted Constructions of Martyrology

Re-evaluating Syndicalist Opposition to the First World War Abstract It has been argued that support for the First World War by the important French syndicalist organisation, the Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT) has tended to obscure the fact that other national syndicalist organisations remained faithful to their professed workers’ internationalism: on this basis syndicalists beyond France, more than any other ideological persuasion within the organised trade union movement in immediate pre-war and wartime Europe, can be seen to have constituted an authentic movement of opposition to the war in their refusal to subordinate class interests to those of the state, to endorse policies of ‘defencism’ of the ‘national interest’ and to abandon the rhetoric of class conflict. This article, which attempts to contribute to a much neglected comparative historiography of the international syndicalist movement, re-evaluates the syndicalist response across a broad geographical field of canvas (embracing France, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Britain and America) to reveal a rather more nuanced, ambiguous and uneven picture.

CEU eTD Collection i Abstract This work charts the contemporary history of the socialist press in Britain, investigating its coverage of world events in the aftermath of the fall of state socialism. In order to do this, two case studies are considered: firstly, the seventy-eight day NATO bombing campaign over the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999, and secondly, the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević in October of 2000. The British socialist press analysis is focused on the Morning Star, the only English-language socialist daily newspaper in the world, and the multiple publications affiliated to minor British socialist parties such as the Socialist Workers’ Party and the Communist Party of Great Britain (Provisional Central Committee). The thesis outlines a broad history of the British socialist movement and its media, before moving on to consider the case studies in detail.

    The Origin of Socialist Reformism in France*

    CARL LANDAUER THE ORIGIN OF SOCIALIST REFORMISM IN FRANCE* PRELUDE: THE OPPOSITION TO MARX IN THE INTERNATIONAL Although the International Workingmen's Association is often called the Marxian International, it was at no time safely under the control of Karl Marx. The spirit of Marx, however, was the strongest single influence in the organization from its beginning, and from 1868, when the Proudhonians had suffered defeat at the Brussels Congress, to 1872, when Bakunin's opposition proved too strong to be overcome, Marx possessed more power in the organization than anyone else. Yet this power collapsed in 1872: Although formally Marx was the victor at the Hague Congress, actually in the conflict with Bakunin it became evident that Marx's position was disintegrating. What were the reasons? "Marx accused his opponent of the intention to introduce into the Association ideological disorder, the spirit of [political] abstentionism and of federalism, in the Utopian desire to create a communal organi- zation without government. Bakunin, in his turn, criticized Marx for wanting to impose on the International a unified dogma and a party discipline in order to create a regime of authoritarian communism first in the Association and then in the state (dans les gouvernements)."1 Unfortunately for Marx and for the unity of the workers' movement, many members of the International who by no means believed in a "communal organization without a government" and perhaps were not * The author wishes to express his gratitude to the Institute of International Studies at the University of California at Berkeley for financial support in meeting expenses incurred in the collection of material; also to Monsieur Couta- rel, librarian of the Prefecture de police in Paris, for permission to use the files of the Prefecture; and to the staff of the Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis in Amsterdam, especially to Mr T.
