Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aspirations and Anxieties is a working class intellectual history of early factory operatives in antebellum New England. The book focuses on the operatives' perceptions of technological and socio-economic changes in the mechanized workplace. The study uncovers a complex debate over many facets of the factory system--the machines and factory buildings, wages and hours, relations between managers and workers, and the content and character of protest. Finally, the book argues that the roots of this debate lie in the struggle to define the meaning of work itself in a period of profound social change.

SECTION III THE UNHEALTHINESS OF THE FACTORY SYSTEM Chapter I DEATH RATES Perhaps I had better say, at the outset of this chapter, that I admit that Lancashire has improved in some things this last fifty years (though, in my opinion, many of the "improvements," which would never have been necessary but for the evils made by the factory system, are merely attempts to set things right again after first putting them wrong). The condition of the working classes is better in some respects. The factory system has been rendered less evil by slow legislation, long struggled for, and only obtained by fierce fighting.1 Educational facilities are increased; the sanitation of the towns is much better; amusements and recreations are multiplied; hours of toil are lessened; food, clothes, books, papers, and railway travelling are cheaper. 1 For full particulars of factory legislation see Plener's "History of Factory Legislation," and Cooke-Taylor's "The Factory System and Factory Acts." And so is human flesh and blood. On the other hand, the labour in the cotton factories is harder, more worrying, owing to the greater speed of the machinery; the swelling numbers of unemployed make it difficult for a man to get in work again when once thrown out; the struggle for existence under individualistic conditions has become keener and keener, as not alone the workers but dwindling tradesmen and even pinched middlemen can testify out of their troubles. v f Let us see how the factory system of to-day differs from that of half-a-century ago. Here are the improvements, gains, etc., set side by side with the present state of things: Progress.' Age of half-timers raised from 8 to 11 years. Age of full-timers from 13 to 14. A certain stage of educational proficiency to be reached before a chi...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Factory System and the Factory Acts Half-a-century ago the Factory System meant to the minds of most people a new and portentous phenomenon in industry against which unusual precautions'had to be taken lest it should issue in a degenerated race of operative labourers Factory Acts meant the partial and peculiar body of laws specially devised to avert this catastrophe. At the present day both these significations are completely obsolete. So far from the Factory System being regarded now as likely to degenerate labourers, it is that persistently recom mended by some of the best friends of labour as a happy means of escape from other modes of industry; and the Factory Acts are so little partial in their operation, that it is difiicult for anyone, not an expert, to say what is, and what is not (within the compass of productive in dustry) excluded from their wide-spreading influence. These great changes seem to require some explanation. The fundamental explanation resides, of course, in.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to a History of the Factory System I had aspired to write the History of the Factory System. In collecting materials for doing so two difficulties continually confronted me. The first was the great mass of detail that would need to be presented to the reader should the work attempt in even a moderate degree to justify its title. The second was the lack of material of prime importance on which such a history could be based. The factory system of the far past has left no records behind; that remains still a subject of inquiry and speculation. The history of the modern factory system is almost equally difficult of access. It is to be found only in the few, and generally vague, allusions of very various writers; and in official documents and departmental reports of this and other countries. There is absolutely no independent source of information in English literature, that I know of, dealing with the whole of this subject. I have preferred instead then, greatly to limit the scope of my original design, and to confine it to an Introduction only, and that in outline, to such a history, arranged in what I consider would be something like the proper form for a work of the kind to assume.
