The General Strike, 1926 • This historic event commenced on 3rd May 1926. • There has been many issues in Britain’s staple industries and industrial unrest had been a consistent feature of Britain since the ending of WW2. • The causes are complex. • It involved 3 million workers and numerous industries. • The strike was called by the TUC, sparked by problems in the Coal industry, but in general it was a reflection of Britain’s economic issues. • Some argued like Baldwin that it was “a challenge to Parliament, and a step in the road to ruin”. • Others have stated it as, like Anne Perkins, a revolutionary act. • The causes need to be analysed separately, but also need classification – short term, long term etc. Task: Read AQA and Lowe and answer the below questions to find out about the causes and events of the General Strike 1) Why did the coal miners want nationalisation to continue? 2) What were the failure of the industrialist? How did this lead to the general strike? 3) Why was the coal industry in decline? 4) What was the impact of the government refusing to nationalise mines? 5) How did returning to Gold Standard result in the General Strike? 6) Why did Baldwin provide a subsidy to the miners? 7) What was the impact of the subsidy? 8) Who were the TUC and why did they support the miners? 9) What were the recommendations of the Samuel Report? 10) How did miners and mine owners respond? 11) Why did negotiations fail? 12) What were the long term and short term causes of the General Strike? 13) LG had stopped a General Strike, why wasn’t a General Strike averted in 1926? Session 5: Causes and events of the General Strike 1926, Task: You be given the causes of the General Strike below • You will have to read the causes and consider how to organise them. • You will organise them twice - 1) Long term, Short Term, Trigger 2) Least important, Important, Most important The causes of the General Strike Loss of trade: Trading The return to the gold Problems in the coal markets during WW1.

  • Worker Ownership, Democratic Management and Developmental Freedom in British Worker
    Worker Ownership, Democratic Management and Developmental Freedom in British Worker Co-operatives Robin Mark Jervis PhD University of York Politics, Economics and Philosophy January 2016 Abstract This thesis examines whether worker co-operatives are able to construct institutions of work which improve the control and security of individuals in an otherwise insecure liberal capitalist environment, drawing together literature on the viability of co- operatives, work within co-operatives and the 'developmental freedom' approach. This would be manifest in an increase in members' control over working life, an increase in economic security for individuals, and more meaningful work. The thesis extends upon the established theoretical foundations of the 'developmental freedom' understanding of work, which values control over work and control over time, by applying it to the worker co-operative. The thesis engages in a review of the theoretical and empirical literature on such organisations from economic and political perspectives, and original qualitative empirical evidence is provided by interviews at four case study co-operatives from the UK. The thesis concludes firstly that co-operatives offer an experience of work governed by social bonds of reciprocity and solidarity; secondly that they are beneficial for control over time for individuals in both the short and long term; and finally such firms are able to survive and develop in liberal capitalist economies, in part due to the embedded relationships of control within them, but under strain

Elizabeth paid off out of the proceed the whole of her foreign debt and invested a part of the balance (about i42,OOO) in the Levant Company; largely out of the projits of the Levant Company there was formed the East India Company, the profts of which during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were the main foundation of England’s foreign connections; and so on. , this is quite sufficient to illustrate our argument . , that the greater part of the fruits of the economic progress and capital accumulation of the Elizabethan and Jacobean age accrued to the profiteer rather than to the wage-earner. , , . Never in the annals of the modern world has there existed so prolonged and so rich an oppor- tunity for the businessman, the speculator and the prof iteer. In these golden years modern capitalism was born. Thus the rate at which the world's wealth has accumulated has been far more variable than habits of thrijt have been. , . It is characteristic of our historians that, for example, the Cambridge Modern History should make no mention of these economic factors as moulding the Elizabethan Age and making possible its greatness.

UNIVERSITY MICROFILMS Sir, in Cambria are we born, and gentlemen: Further to boast were neither true nor modest, Unless I add we are honest. Belarius in Cymbeline. Act V, sc. v. PREFACE In 1927 Lloyd George became the recognized leader of the Liberal party with the stated aim of making it over into a viable third party. Time and again he averred that the Liberal mission was to hold the balance— as had Parnell's Irish Nationalists— between the two major parties in Parlia­ ment. Thus viewed in these terms the Liberal revival of the late 1920's must be accounted a success for at no time did the Liberals expect to supplant the Labour party as the party of the left. The subtitle reads: "A Study in Political Communi­ cation " because communications theory provided the starting point for this study. But communications theory is not im­ posed in any arbitrary fashion, for Lloyd George and his fol­ lowers were obsessed with exploiting modern methods of commu­ nications.

  • The Manchester Observer: Biography of a Radical Newspaper
    i i i i The Manchester Observer: Biography of a Radical Newspaper ROBERT POOLE, UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL LANCASHIRE Abstract The newly digitised Manchester Observer (1818–22) was England’s leading rad- ical newspaper at the time of the Peterloo meeting of August 1819, in which it played a central role. For a time it enjoyed the highest circulation of any provincial newspaper, holding a position comparable to that of the Chartist Northern Star twenty years later and pioneering dual publication in Manchester and London. Its columns provide insights into Manchester’s notoriously secretive local government and policing and into the labour and radical movements of its turbulent times. Rich materials in the Home Oce papers in the National Archives reveal much about the relationship between radicals in London and in the provinces, and show how local magistrates conspired with government to hound the radical press in the north as prosecutions in London ran into trouble. This article also sheds new light on the founding of the Manchester Guardian, which endured as the Observer’s successor more by avoiding its disasters than by following its example. Despite the imprisonment of four of its main editors and proprietors the Manchester Observer battled on for ve years before sinking in calmer water for lack of news. Keywords: Peterloo; press; newspapers; radicalism; Manchester; Guardian London has been called the strong hold of the liberty of the press; but Manchester is assuredly the centre and strong hold of the Parliamentary Reformers. (Manchester Observer, 1 September 1821) Early in 2017 the John Rylands Library accepted into its collections two bound volumes: the only complete set of the Manchester Observer (1818–22), the radical predecessor of the more famous Manchester Guardian.

TOMÁS GÓMEZ-AROSTEGUI As we approach Congress’s upcoming reexamination of copyright law, participants are amassing ammunition for the battle to come over the proper scope of copyright. One item that both sides have turned to is the original purpose of copyright, as reflected in a pair of cases decided in Great Britain in the late 18th century—the birthplace of Anglo-American copyright. The salient issue is whether copyright was a natural or customary right, protected at common law, or a privilege created solely by statute. These differing viewpoints set the default basis of the right. Whereas the former suggests the principal purpose was to protect authors, the latter indicates that copyright should principally benefit the public. The orthodox reading of these two cases is that copyright existed as a common-law right inherent in authors. In recent years, however, revisionist work has challenged that reading. Relying in part on the discrepancies of 18th-century law reporting, scholars have argued that the natural-rights and customary views were rejected.

Robarts Research Library. The titles are arranged alphabetically by country, then by province or state (if applicable) and by city. Two major collections of particular significance to this guide are 11 Early English Newspapers and Newspapers from the Russian Revolution Era. Unlike the majority of newspapers 11 listed here, none of the titles in either set can be accessed through the University of Toronto's online catalogue. Early English Newspapers is a collection of seventeenth and eighteenth century periodical literature. It 11 includes the British Library's Burney Collection of Early English Newspapers as well as the holdings of Oxford University's BodVean Library. Missing issues from these two collections, and some additional titles are supplied 11 from other important collections, such as the Yale University Library. The collection is an important source for contemporary history, literature, drama, and philosophy. In addition to newspapers, it includes broadsides, periodicals, and Charles Burney's manuscripts. Newspapers from the Russian Revolutionary Era is principally based on the holdings at Columbia University's Herbert Lehman Library. This collection covers almost every facet of the Revolution, and includes papers relating to the Revolution which were printed in other countries.
