Labour Unrest in the House of Lords, 1919 A contemporary record of debates in February and March 1919 on industrial problems, postwar reconstruction, and the role of government and workers in shaping the economy. This edition captures a pivotal moment when leaders discuss wages, hours, unemployment, and the balance between capital and labor.
The discussions cover how Britain moved from war production to peacetime industry, the effort to stabilize prices and food, and the challenges of re‑establishing export markets. Readers will see different viewpoints on Bolshevism, profiteering, education for workers, and the responsibilities of both government and industry to maintain social order.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of speeches given by members of the House of Lords in 1919, shortly after the end of the First World War. These speeches collectively discuss the widespread labor unrest and strikes taking place in Britain at the time and theorize on what may be causing the issues and how best to resolve them. The author argues that the aftermath of the First World War caused a political, social, and economic environment ripe for labor unrest and that solving this problem will require a multi-faceted approach including addressing issues of worker conditions, pay, and providing better housing, as well as helping people understand the economic realities of the time and the consequences of strikes. The speeches also touch on the importance of the working class to British society and even include a warning that Bolshevism could take root in the UK if things are not improved. Ultimately, this book tackles an important moment in British history and the issues and ideas presented within are still relevant in many ways today.
