Abstract
The period between the Boer War and the First World War in Great Britain was one of increasing industrial concentration, rising prices, a falling standard of living for a majority of the wage earners and an intensification of class conflict.
I should like to thank the staff at Transport House, the L.R.D., Unity House, the N.U.M. Headquarters and Congress House for help with access to records, and the members of postgraduate seminars at the Institute of Historical Research and the Polytechnic of Central London for comments on an earlier version of this essay.
