Hull History Centre: Records of the Dictionary of Labour Biography U DLB Records of the Dictionary of Labour Biography 1816-1999 Accession number: 1999/15 2010/23 2011/16 Historical Background: The origins of the Dictionary of Labour Biography lie in the work of G. D. H. Cole (1889-1959), the socialist historian and political thinker. Upon Cole's death, John Saville (1916-2009), then lecturer in the Department of Economics at the University of Hull, acquired numerous manuscript volumes from his widow Margaret Cole that came to form the skeleton of the Dictionary. Each of the many hundreds of names that were listed, from the 1790s until the present day, had a brief biographical account attached. Funding to develop a biographical dictionary was initially received from the International Institute of Social History, Amsterdam in 1961. As well as the modest grant received from the Institute, Hull University provided a full time research assistant for an initial period of three years. Dr. Joyce Bellamy (1921-2002), then senior research officer in the newly formed Department of Social and Economic History, was employed to work with Saville in what proved to be a major long-term collaboration. More permanent funding was eventually secured from the Social Science Research Council as well as generous donations from various organisations. As well as Bellamy, Saville employed the services of a wide range of researchers. Barbara Nield, Margaret 'Espinasse, Ann Holt and David Martin all worked as research assistants in Hull. The project was not confined to Hull however, and Vivien Morton and Marion Kozack (wives of historians AL Morton and Ralph Miliband respectively) were commissioned to check London-based sources. Dame Margaret Cole played an important role in the first few volumes of the Dictionary. Throughout the late 1960s through until late 1976, Cole was in regular correspondence with John Saville, writing several entries and sitting alongside Asa Briggs, HL Beales and other recognised scholars on the central editorial board. Each volume contains a list of contributors in the introductory pages. Naturally, academics from the University of Hull were approached for contributions, including Dr Alan Lee, Dr David Rubinstein and Anthony Topham. The first five volumes also owe much of their content to the work of HF Bing, lecturer at the Cooperative College, Loughborough, and Dr Eric Taylor of Wolverhampton Polytechnic. The original plan was to produce a Who's Who of the labour movement. However, it was soon realised that several volumes would be necessary in order to encompass the ever- growing register of names. After the realisation that no dictionary would be complete without the inclusion of the rank and file of the movement as well as renowned labour leaders, the main difficulty became limiting the number of entrants. Those who were still alive were excluded from the scope of the project, although further problems of who to include remained. For the majority of candidates, their membership of a trade union, cooperative organisation, working-class party or movement ensured their inclusion. However there was also scope for the editorial flexibility which allowed the inclusion of Dr Josiah Court, six times unsuccessful Tory candidate and staunch Conservative who held for a long period the position of medical advisor to the Derbyshire Miners Association [DLB/1/54]. Each volume of the Dictionary is organised on an A-Z basis, with the first few volumes being more narrowly focused than the later ones. Volumes I and II were dominated by miners and co-operators. As the research moved on, it was realised that such subject headings were limiting and so while each volume had a broad theme (for example volume VI paid particular attention to the radicals, the Chartists and the Owenites of the pre 1850s), they widened in definition with time. Page 1 of 195 Hull History Centre: Records of the Dictionary of Labour Biography Over nearly thirty years, Saville and Bellamy produced ten volumes of what has become the definitive guide to the labour movement and its members since the late eighteenth century. Despite the retirement of Saville and Bellamy from the University in 1982 and 1985 respectively, it was not until during the compilation of volume X (published in 2000), that Bellamy and then Saville retired from the Dictionary. It is now under the joint editorship of Professor David Howell and Professor Neville Kirk of the University of York and Manchester Metropolitan University respectively. The ten volumes of the Dictionary of Labour Biography were published by Macmillan in 1972, 1974, 1976, 1977, 1979, 1982, 1984, 1987, 1993, 2000 respectively. Description: The archive covers the first ten volumes of the Dictionary (1972-2000), recording the lives of over nine hundred people. There are research files for nearly everyone who appears within the pages of the Dictionary, as well special notes files, which are organised by volume [U DLB/1-10]. U DLB/11 contains correspondence files, generic newspaper cuttings and various bibliographies and these help to trace the development of the Dictionary, from its inception in the early 1960s. In addition there are files for over a hundred people who were not selected for publication - for example, RH Tawney, GDH Cole and Victor Gollancz all have files in U DLB/11 but were never published in the first ten volumes [U DLB/11/16, 15 & 39]. The files for each entrant vary in the richness of their content. Many offer valuable additional material to the published biographical entry. The file of Clem Edwards is one such example [U DLB/3/24]. Not only does the file contain valuable correspondence with his family, but it also contains the only copy of his unpublished memoirs, 'Life as I have seen it'. All the files contain at least one draft, allowing the reader to chart the progress to the final entry. Many files also contain a draft for inclusion in the French version of the Dictionary [Dictionnaire biographique du Mouvement ouvrier International (Paris: Les Editions Ouvrieres, 1979)]. Sources such as reproductions of birth, death and marriage certificates, news cuttings, writings and speeches of the entrants and various contemporary articles on the subject are also available. Much of the correspondence proves significant. Correspondence from Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson (1916-1995) is present in several files, including that of his Aunt, Mary Sutherland, in the file of Leah Manning, as well as in a letter of condolence sent to the wife of John (Jack) Bailey by the Prime Minister. A similar letter of condolence from the Queen, Elizabeth II, appears in the file of John Wilson. Harry Hamson's file includes copies of letters from Keir Hardie and Lady Cynthia Mosley's file contains correspondence with her husband and leader of British Union of Fascists, Sir Oswald Mosley.[U DLB/6/63, 7/47, 2/7, 1/220, 5/35 & 5/57] Arrangement U DLB/1 Volume I, 1839 - 1994 U DLB/2 Volume II, 1825 - 1996 U DLB/3 Volume III, 1841 - 1995 U DLB/4 Volume IV, 1839 - 1994 U DLB/5 Volume V, 1869 - 1990 U DLB/6 Volume VI, 1816 - 1991 U DLB/7 Volume VII, 1839 - 1993 U DLB/8 Volume VIII, 1836 - 1995 U DLB/9 Volume IX, 1841 - 1995 U DLB/10 Volume X, 1840 - 1999 U DLB/11 Miscellaneous, 1863 - 1992 Page 2 of 195 Hull History Centre: Records of the Dictionary of Labour Biography U DLB/12 Antony Elliott's biographical notes, 1960s-1970s U DLB/13 Research papers for the Dictionary of Labour Biography Extent: 15.5 linear metres Related material: Papers of John Saville [U DJS], especially files U DJS/8, 22-25 Other repositories: Papers of GDH Cole [MSS.GDHC], Nuffield College Library, University of Oxford [GB 0163] Access conditions: Access will be granted to any accredited reader Copyright: Copyright is held by various authors; Macmillan Language: English U DLB/1 Volume I 1839 - 1994 224 files U DLB/1/1 File.

In particular, the focus is on the impact of the war on re-shaping the global division of labour and the difficulties in responding to the domestic consequences of this re- shaping. Dundee provides an ideal basis for examining the links between the local politics and global economic changes in this period because of the traumatic effects of the war and on the city. Dundee depended to an extraordinary extent on one, extremely ‘globalised’ industry, jute, for its employment. All raw jute brought to Dundee came from Bengal, and the markets for its product were scattered all over the world. Moreover, the main competitive threat to the industry came from a much poorer economy (India) so that jute manufacturing was the first major British industry to be significantly affected by low wage competition. Before 1914 the Liberals combined advocacy of free trade with a significant set of interventions in the labour market and in social welfare, including Trade Boards.
  • Does Red Clydeside Really Matter Anymore?

    Does Red Clydeside Really Matter Anymore?

    Christopher Fevre 100009227 ‘Does Red Clydeside Really Matter Any More?’ Word Count: 4,290 Red Clydeside, described aptly by Maggie Craig as ‘those heady decades at the beginning of the twentieth century when passionate people and passionate politics swept like a whirlwind through Glasgow’ is arguably the most significant yet controversial subject in Scottish labour and social history.1 Yet, it is because of this controversy that questions still linger regarding the significance of Red Clydeside in the overall narrative of British and more specifically, Scottish history. The title of this paper, ‘Does Red Clydeside Really Matter Any More?’ has been generously borrowed from Terry Brotherstone’s interesting article in Militant Workers: Labour and Class Conflict on the Clyde 1900- 1950.2 Following a decade in which the legacy of the Red Clydesiders had been systematically attacked by revisionist historians agitated by contemporary attempts to link the events on the Clyde with those occurring in Russia in 1917, Brotherstone emphasised the new and developing common sense approach to the Red Clydeside debate. It was argued that ‘A new consensus seems to be emerging... which acknowledges the significance of the events associated with Red Clydeside, but seeks to dissociate them from what is now perceived as the ‘myth’ or ‘legend’ that they involved a revolutionary challenge to the British state’. However, as a consequence of the ever changing nature of Red Clydeside historiography it is now time for a re-assessment of the significance of Red Clydeside which incorporates new research into the rise of left-wing politics in Scotland more generally.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

    THE WOMEN OF RED CLYDESIDE THE WOMEN OF RED CLYDESIDE: WOMEN MUNITIONS WORKERS IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR By MYRA BAILLIE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School ofGraduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment ofthe Requirements for the Degree Doctor ofPhilosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Myra Baillie, September 2002 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2002) McMaster University (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Women ofRed Clydeside: Women Munitions Workers in the West ofScotland during the First World War. AUTHOR: Myra Baillie, B.A., M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor R.A. Rempel NUMBER OF PAGES: x,320 11 ABSTRACT During World War One, the Clydeside region became one ofthe most important centres ofwar production in Britain. It also had one ofthe most volatile male workforces, earning it the reputation 'Red' Clydeside. Previous historical accounts have focussed on the skilled workers, debating the extent to which they were red-hot revolutionaries or narrow craft conservatives. To date, there has been no study ofthe region's large, capable, hard-working female workforce. This thesis traces the experience ofthe tens ofthousands ofwomen employed in the Clydeside munitions industry, paying particular attention to the working conditions in local factories. This thesis contributes to the long-standing historiographical arguments over the nature ofRed Clydeside by offering a new view ofthe dilution crisis which stands 11t the epicentre ofthe debate. It finds more cooperation between male and female munitions workers than has previously been recognized, and suggests that class confrontation, not craft conservatism, was at the root ofthe deportation ofthe shop steward leaders in March 1916.
  • Heroes of Peace Profiles of the Scottish Peace Campaigners Who Opposed the First World War

    Heroes of Peace Profiles of the Scottish Peace Campaigners Who Opposed the First World War

    Heroes of Peace Profiles of the Scottish peace campaigners who opposed the First World War a paper from the Introduction The coming year will see many attempts to interpret the First World War as a ‘just’ war with the emphasis on the heroic sacrifice of troops in the face of an evil enemy. No-one is questioning the bravery or the sacrifice although the introduction of conscription sixteen months after the start of the war meant that many of the men who fought did not do so from choice and once in the armed forces they had to obey orders or be shot. Even many of the volunteers in the early stages of the war signed up on the assumption that it would all be over in a few months with few casualties. We want to ensure that there is an alternative – and we believe more valid – interpretation of the events of a century ago made available to the public. This was a war in which around ten million young men were killed on the battlefield in four years, about 120,000 of them were Scottish. Proportionately Scotland suffered the highest number of war dead apart from Serbia and Turkey. It was described as the ‘war to end wars’ but instead it created the conditions for the rise of Hitler and the Second World War just twenty years later as a result of the very harsh terms imposed on Germany and the determination to humiliate the losing states. It also contributed to some of the current problems in the Middle East since, as part of the war settlement, Britain and France took ownership of large parts of the Ottoman Empire and divided up the territory with no reference to the identities and interests of the people.

    (Xiv) in Retrospect

    (XIV) IN RETROSPECT i]��C���-��UMAN experience would be falsified if the dreadful suffering which the six Tolpuddle Martyrs bore with such amazing fortitude had produced no result. Their conduct under trial was a challenge to the conscience of the nation. Their fidelity to principles that were in themselves the expression of elementary rights of citizenship rang like a clarion call to the workers of their own generation. They were certainly not the founders of Trades Unionism, whose origins go back many decades � Q��earlier than 1800. Nor were they the first Trades Unionists The martyrdom ��!!! an inspiration to be transported, but their example was an inspiration which has lost none of its power in the course of a century. The period immediately following the returnof the Dorsetshire labourers was one full of difficultyfor the Unions. The latter had been foremostin the agitation for a Parlia­ mentary inquiry into their status and operation, and in an effort to meet the criticism levelled against them many had removed the oath from their initiation ceremonies. A series of embittered industrial disputes had begun in 1834, notably that of the lockout of the silk workers at Derby, the strike of the gas workers in London and the lockout of the London building operatives. The Grand National Consolidated Trades Union crashed in the strain thrown upon its funds, and for a time it appeared that reaction had gained its way. Many of the skilled trades, however, maintained their organisation intact and gradually developed fromlocal organisation into national Unions exerting a considerable influence. It was a period demanding the utmost loyalty to the principles of Trade Unionism.
