MUNITION WORKERS IN ENGLAND UT of the exigencies of the great war there have developed in England striking indus trial problems. After nearly a year of wasteful production that exhausted men and machinery, government officials realized that instead of "sprinting as if for a short race, the course would be a long one"; and that the labor power of the nation should be as zealously safeguarded as its military strength. The futility of helter-skelter haste was dramatically brought home to all England by the famous shell shortage in the spring of 1915, for which Kitchener was blamed. It was a case of the situation's running away with those who should have controlled it. The sudden call for large amounts of clothing, munitions, food, and other necessities of war time, had taken the manufacturers completely by surprise, and the rush to fill orders demoralized industrial conditions. Overtime became the rule, night work and Sunday work were common. Trade unions saw the gains of years swept away. Nearly a year was gone before the government assumed responsibility for organizing the huge business of making war supplies, and almost another year was required to complete an organization which was efficient. The crux of the situation was of course in the munition industry. August, 1914, found the nation without enough guns, shells and other war equipment to carry on its great military operations and with no way to get them quickly or in large volume.

Download or read book The United States in World War I written by James T. Controvich and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2023-05-08 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the centennial of the First World War rapidly approaching, historian and bibliographer James T. Controvich offers in The United States in World War I: A Bibliographic Guide the most comprehensive, up-to-date reference bibliography yet published. Organized by subject, this bibliography includes the full range of sources: vintage publications of the time, books, pamphlets, periodical titles, theses, dissertations, and archival sources held by federal and state organizations, as well as those in public and private hands, including historical societies and museums. As Controvich’s bibliographic accounting makes clear, there were many facets of World War I that remain virtually unknown to this day. Throughout, Controvich’s bibliography tracks the primary sources that tell each of these stories—and many others besides—during this tense period in American history. Each entry lists the author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, and page count as well as descriptive information concerning illustrations, plates, ports, maps, diagrams, and plans. The armed forces section carries additional information on rosters, awards, citations, and killed and wounded in action lists. The United States in World War I: A Bibliographic Guide is an ideal research tool for students and scholars of World War I and American history.
