	Victim or Virago? Popular Images of the Victorian Factory Girl
		By constantly playing on the factory girls' moral danger as well as physical danger, Besant increased the sensationalism of her case and ensured the attention of morally concerned or sexually prurient readers.
		However, the scenes in the factory show a strong sense of female solidarity and companionship which could be said to echo the match girls' solidarity in their strike.
		Besant sees the factory girl as a victim rather than an aggressor, in the same way that the match girls were seen as victims of a factory system in which the managers and foremen were male.

		Bryant & May refuted her claims but, when a group of women at the factory refused to back the company, the rebels were immediately sacked.
		Bow's MP at the time was George Lansbury, who in 1912 shocked Parliament by resigning his seat and standing for re-election solely on the issue of votes for women.
		Bow station on the North London Line closed in 1949, although this stretch of line was reborn as part of the Docklands Light Railway in 1987 and automated trains now stop at Bow Church station on the opposite side of the road.

		It does not follow, of course, that I may not recognize another man's thoughts as broader and deeper than my own; but that does not necessarily change my opinion, otherwise this would be at the mercy of every superior mind that held a different one.
		One may, it is true, have all the antecedents I have spoken of, and yet be a boor or a shabby fellow.
		There may be a physical reason for the strange connection between the sense of smell and the mind.

		Bryant and May tried to break the strike by threatening to move the factory to Norway or to import fllegs from Glasgow.
		Annie Besant said the girls had told her that the Director, Theodore Bryant, a prominent liberal, had deducted a shilling from their wages as a contribution to the erection of a statue to the Liberal Prime Minister on Bow Road, near the factory, by the ancient church.
		The meeting at the factory gate that June, of the socialist activist and the group of angry young working class women, was a key moment in the birth of a vast social movement which would be celebrated in labour and socialist history as the New Unionism.

		Bryant who is a member of the National Liberal Club, heard of an unpleasant movement amongst the members calling for his resignation.
		Bryant out of his great generosity is going to build a dining hall for the women (under the factory acts it is illegal for workpeople to eat in the work room); and the company will graciously permit their white slaves to form a trade union.
		As to the present owners of the factory, they may be invited each to make---not five gross of boxes a day---that would be too cruel---but, say one or two gross of those boxes.

		In the Old Ford area was a match factory owned by Bryant and May. In July 1888, 672 of its women workers, led by Annie Besant, went on strike for better wages.
		Bryant and May have a rough set of girls.
		They fight with their fists to settle their differences, not in the factory for that is forbidden, but in the streets when they leave work in the evening.

	Victorian London - Professions and Trades - Factory Manufacture / Making of - Matches
		At one large factory, where the whole work was completed on the premises, I counted as many as twenty distinct processes through which every match has to pass, and as many in the case of the boxes...
		If, for instance, a girl arrived at the factory five minutes behind time, she was frequently shut out for half a day; and for any little act of untidiness, such as omitting to clear away the litter from under the bench, a fine was imposed.
		The factories are fairly well ventilated, and I am bound to say that, to all appearances, the comfort of the girls and women is studied by their employers.

		I was lucky to start just when the company archives of Bryant and May had been rescued from destruction by Peter Wilkinson (then Legal Director of the Wilkinson Group).
		Having read extensively breathless accounts of the match manufacturing process in the press of the first part of the century it was exciting to see the process at first hand.
		Because of the closure of the Bryant and May factory at Bow in East London I had missed seeing the whole process of matchmaking.

		In the summer of 1888 fifteen hundred "factory girls", led by Fabian journalist Annie Beasant, walked out of their jobs at the Bryant & May match factory in Bow in demand for higher wages and safer working conditions.
		Not only were the girls poorly paid but they worked in an appallingly dangerous environment, it was not unusual to see "match girls" cough up phosphorous vomit in the street after their shift.
		Theodor Bryant, one half of the match manufacturer duo, unveiled a statue, which he personally paid for, to the then Prime Minister, W E Gladstone, in 1882.

	Weekly Worker 576 - Thursday May 12 2005
		George Galloway’s success in Bethnal Green and Bow is a victory for the anti-war movement.
		George Galloway is quite right to say that “the result in Bethnal Green and Bow … should bury the slur that people who have solidly backed Labour in the past suddenly become ‘communalist’ when they feel the sting of betrayal and vote for an alternative” (Socialist Worker election results special, May 7).
		This is the sort of party ‘of a new sort’ that Lenin set out to build in Russia, and Rosa Luxemburg in the short weeks before her death in Germany.

		The 38 may be a little more forgiving, and if the axle to axle length in a tree stand isn't a factor, it is a great bow, and super for a beginner.
		It seems they are all really fantastic bows by everyones reactions- but I have got to make a decision (it's killing me).
		If is one great little bow, but the angle grip was not for me. Had no trouble shooting it, just wasn't my preference.

		For a few years in the late Fifties a club in Bow was at the centre of the Kray brothers' legitimate business empire.
		That may sound like an unbelievably accurate figure, but it's typical of an exact science like astronomy where computers can warn us to watch out for a doomsday asteroid on Saturday 16th March 2880 and probably predict Jesus's birthday as an encore.

		Scalia picks up on all this weirdness and notes that "[t]he Court first implies that courts may substitute their interpretation of a statute for that of an agency whenever, '[e]mploying traditional tools of statutory construction,' they are able to reach a conclusion as to the proper interpretation of the statute.
		This allegation in the New York Times may be true, but it may not be.
		Maybe she obliquely "suggests" (in the very broadest sense of "suggest") that there is some racial component -- and she may very well adopt that tactic later in the trial -- but it doesn't sound to me like she's doing that here.

		Today it still stand with a roadway either side of it and is often confused with the church associated with Bow Bells; not helped by the fact that a pub facing the church on the southern side is named the Bow Bells.
		The statue of William Gladstone was erected in front of the church in 1882, paid for by William Bryant of Bryant and May's match factory nearby.

		There are six or seven match manufactories in the East End, and they give employment to some thousands of women and girls.
		Until within a few years ago this industry was associated with a system of slavery of the very worst description; but I am happy to say that since the great strike at Bryant and May’s in 188o, matters have considerably improved.
		The business is now much more humanely managed, and the labour of the workers has been considerably lightened by the introduction of improved machinery.

		"Busy Child" is their contribution, which may irritate non dance fans from the repetition and overuse of samples - the words "busy child" are repeated about 50 times too often.
		The tracks are longer, and as a result don't seem to go for looking for too many particular hooks for the ear to latch on to since they are probably looped less during actual playing time.
		If nothing else, should he ever choose to combine forces with any of the known quantities in the ambient dance arena, his music would certainly have the potential to be just as viable.

		Braverman argues therefore that the 'general law of the capitalist division of labour' is that all special knowledge and training must be removed from the working class and be seized by management.
		Docks, factories and sweatshops expanded rapidly and the great banks and stock exchanges financed the railroads, mines and factories as they moved ever westward.
		Although the struggle of the women workers at the Bryant and May factory in Bow, east London, which sparked a massive movement of unskilled workers, seemed to come from nowhere, it had material roots in the period of seeming 'calm' that stretched before.
