Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book captures the dramatic 1803 hearings before a parliamentary committee charged with investigating labor strife in England's cloth industry. A rare first-hand account of this tumultuous period in history, the author's intimate knowledge of the industry and legal system provides unique perspective on the clashes between masters and journeymen over technological innovations, apprenticeships, and workers' rights. At the heart of the debate were the gig mill and shearing frames, new machines that threatened traditional craftsmanship and livelihoods. Excerpts from witness testimony, including revealing admissions by masters, expose the motives and fears that fueled the conflict. Delving into the broader context of political economy and the evolution of manufacturing, the book illuminates the enduring tensions between technological progress, social justice, and the preservation of craft traditions. Through a lens of insightful analysis, it explores the profound impact of these events on both the industry and the lives of those who depended on it, offering valuable insights into the complex interplay of economics, labor, and technological change. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
