May 10 1926; ca 25cm x 10cm 10" x 4"; printed both sides of sheet. Announces latest strike news; verso bears headline: "Hurley's - our Library Service is Not on Strike!". Important archive of primary documents relating to the 1926 General Strike in Great Britain which though brief and a failure from the syndicalist point of view would nonetheless be the only General Strike in British history. The event also established a pattern for Tory suppression of radical labour including the use of "emergency" legislative measures and the mass distribution of propaganda through state-run media. Ironically the strike also presaged a massive sweep to power of the Labour Party in the years immediately following a wave which was at least in part a response to the repressive measures employed by the Conservatives against the Trades Union Congress in the General Strike. Of primary interest here is the complete run of eight issues of The British Gazette a government propaganda sheet edited and including numerous contributions by Winston Churchill who was at this time Chancellor of the Exchequer. Depending upon one's point of view the Gazette marked something of a low-point in Churchill's career: though it claimed to be filling a journalistic void created by striking newspaper workers Churchill's paper was more or less a pure exercise in disinformation filled with intentional inaccuracies intended to build public sentiment against the strikers and to demoralize participants in the strike. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin was said to have given Churchill the Gazette job ".to keep him busy and to keep him from doing worse things" see John M. Davidson Memoirs of a Conservative; the newspaper's prevarications so galled professional journalists that one was moved to write: "One of the worst outrages which the country had to endure - and to pay for - in the course of the strike was the publication of the British Gazette. This organ throughout the seven days of its existence was a disgrace alike to the British Government and to British journalism" Kingsley Martin in The New Statesman May 15 1926. Also included here are several other private news sheets indicative of the hunger for information felt by British populace suddenly without any reliable source of news; and a broadside without imprint but likely issued by HMSO as a prospectus of sorts announcing the imminent publication of the Gazette.
