AnarchyinEngland
WHY?
InordertounderstandtheLabour unrestinEngland,andthepossibility ofbigstrikesamongrailwaymenand coalminers,itisnecessarytobearin mindthattheunionsgaveupmanyof theirhard-wonrightsatthecallofthe PrimeMinister.UndertheMunitions ActandtheDefenceoftheRealm Act,theGovernment,whilenominally takingchargeofindustry,inreality enteredintoco-operationwiththe capitalistsforproductionpurposes. And,althoughitistruemunition workersobtainedhigherpay,capitalistswereplacedinpositiontoacquire fabulousfortunes.Therewasconsiderablemisgivingsinthemindsofmany Laboureconomistsaboutthewisdom ofdisorganisingtradeunionmethods; buttheGovernmentvigorously-protestedthatattheearliestmomentit wouldrestorepre-warconditions.LeadingLabourwriters,amongtheminparticularMr.G.D.H.Cole,stronglyexpresseddoubtsaboutLloydGeorge's honesty,andimpresseduponLabouritestheurgencyofinsistingonfullrestorationorrightsasbeingevenmore importantthanwages.Itappears nowthatthecapitalisticbackersofthe Coalition,notcontentwithblocking theLeagueofNations'scheme.areintriguingtopreventtherestorationof pre-warLabourconditionstothe unions.
WhattheRailwaymenWant. Assoonasthearmisticewassigned. andthemunitionsupplystopped,the industrialsituationrapidlydeveloped. TheNationalUnionofRailwaymen, withits400.000members,decidedto terminatetheindustrialtruceentered intoatthebeginningofthewar,and putforwardoncemoreitsnationalprogramme.Thisincludesfar-reaching demands.Therailwaymenclaimthe permanentretentionofalladvances concededduringthewar,andafurther increaseof10s.perweekatpre-war prices,whichmeanssomethinglike£1 to-day.Theyalsoclaimaneighthoursday,theabolitionofallformof paymentbyresults,theabolitionof hybridgrades,and,last,butnotleast, completerecognitionandaconsiderableshareinthecontroloftherailways.WhiletheN.U.R.aremaking thesedemands.theLocomotiveEngineersarepressingfortheimmediate redemptionofthepromisesofan eight-hoursday,andtheRailway Clerks'Associationaredemandingcompleterecognitionoftheirassociation inpreferencetoaWhitleyCouncil. thatis,acouncilonthelinessuggestedbytheWhitleyCommissionappointedbyParliamenttoinquireinto Labourconditionsbeforethewar.The Whitleyschemehasalsobeenrejected asinadequatebytheotherrailway unions,andallthreearedemanding immediatenationalisationwithareal measureofcontrolbytheworkers.1,1 connectionwiththesedemands,it mustberememberedthattherailway-
menwerejustabouttolaunchtheir nationalprogrammeontheoueurteec.. war.Theirorganisationwasthen growingenormously,anditsprogress hascontinuedsteadilythroughtoelac. fouryears.
TheMiners'Claim.
Noraretherailwaymenalone.The minersoftheFederatedArea,Which includesalltheimportantEnglishcoalfieldsexceptthoseoftheNorth-East Coast,havealsoalreadylaunchedan extensiveprogramme.'theirdemands includetheestablishmentofanewConciliationBoard,withtheabolitionof thepresentlimitationofadvancesin wagesto5percent.,andtheabolition alsoofthepresentmaximumunderthe slidingscale.Therearealsootherimportantclaimswhichare,inthemain, thesameasthoseputforwardbythe SouthW'alesMinersFederation.Betterpayandconditionsforsurface workers,andrevisionoftheconditions ofpayment,areincludedintheprogramme.Itisprobablethatsimilaje demandswillbemadeintheScuttigh coalfields,sothatallminersare:likely tobeaffected.Theminers07.:also urgentlydemandingthenatiui:a,isationofthemines.
