'Industrial Notes' Monthly by George Howell, 1909-1910
These 'Industrial Notes' are written in a standardised monthly format suggestive of their being intended for publication in a periodical. The discussion of 'The Twelth Abstract of Labour Statistics of the United Kingdom', in particular, is written in a commentative style suggestive of addressing an intended audience; its description of improvements regarding ease of use of these statistics would be superfluous if not written for an audience. The period of these notes' composition, 1909-1910, was a time when trades were struggling, unions faced high unemployment benefit payments, and industrial disputes were not uncommon. While these items were originally grouped in sequential groups of pages from 1 to 10, their sectional format has better leant itself to a breakdown of the documents into alternative groupings. The pages have therefore been arranged by page number rather than their original sequence; the page 1's, 2's, etcetera, have been placed together in page number-based groupings, with their order dictated by the order in which they were published. This new sequence enables the easy comparison of developments in different areas over different months. Read more →
