	Red Summer of 1919 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Red Summer, coined by author James Weldon Johnson, is used to describe the summer and autumn of 1919.

	Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The main aim of this paper is to analyse a formative period in Clydeside social relations, pushing back the parameters of the Red Clydeside debate to the decade or so prior to 1914.
		Significantly, it was a Clydeside engineering employer (J.R.Richmond) who subsequently commented that: "Inroads on the powers of management in the shops had become so serious that, had war not intervened, the autumn of 1914 would probably have seen an industrial disturbance of the first magnitude".
		Whilst not denying that the war crystallised and deepened these germinating processes, it is argued that by 1914 the roots of a 'red' Clydeside were clearly evident.

	Red Clydeside: Events
		In order to better understand the developmental nature of the events which contributed to the legend of Red Clydeside, the timeline has been divided into four distinct periods.
		The first period covers the immediate pre-war years between 1910 and 1914, during which it was said that the workers of Clydeside were imbued with a 'spirit of revolt'.
		The third period covers the years between 1918-22, which saw the electoral rise of the Independent Labour Party on Clydeside, the demise of the Liberal hegemony in British politics, and a growing fear within the British political establishment of the 'menace of socialism'.

		'Red Clydeside' erupted virtually with the declaration of war in 1914 and it was centred amongst the munitions workers and the shipbuilders.
		It began as a revolt against the level of wages and conditions and escalated, because of the influence of a number of socialists, into a revolt against the war in itself.
		It was in the words of the leader of the 'Red Clydeside', John MacLean, he said that the workers of Britain were "entering the rapids of revolution", Red Clydeside was really a continuation of the 'Great Unrest'.

	Red Clydeside - Art History Online Reference and Guide
		Red Clydeside is a term used to describe the era of political radicalism that characterised the city of Glasgow in Scotland and urban areas around the city on the banks of the River Clyde.
		This period has its roots directly in working class opposition to the United Kingdom's participation in the First World War, although the area had a long history of political radicalism before (its involvement in the Scottish Insurrection of 1820 for example).
		This manifested itself at the 1922 General Election, when several of the Red Clydesiders were elected to serve in the House of Commons (most of them ILP members).

	Alistair Hulett Interviewed By Brian Gillespie 2005 - The Roaring Jack Archives
		This set of songs called Red Clydeside was my anti-war statement, but instead of looking at the current war in Iraq I used the history of the anti-war movement in 1914-18 to say what I wanted to say.
		John Maclean, the leader of Red Clydeside said in 1914, 'It is the task of socialists to build class patriotism to convince workers not to slaughter each other for a sordid World Capitalism.' For me that is still the central principle for our anti-war movement today.
		Red Clydeside covers that aspect of my world view well enough to be going on with for now.

		However, the events that would earn the area the title of Red Clydeside started during the First World War, when there was full employment, and the Clyde accepted a new influx of unskilled labour in order to supply huge amounts of munitions required for the war effort.
		Well over 200,000 Scots soldiers were dead or seriously wounded, and the body count had changed the way that people thought about their country and the way it was governed.
		As early as 1915, the trouble was brewing, when in February engineering workers held a strike lasting two weeks to protest at the higher wages paid to American workers brought in to eleviate a labour shortage.

	The Preconditions of Labour Solidarity
		So the purpose of the paper is to explore the pre-history of Red Clydeside (especially the years 1908-1914) and to compare the narrative accounts we have to the model of solidarity given above.
		More recently, Chris Bambery has described Red Clydeside as 'the crucial moment in the history of Scottish working class, one of the high points in British, and indeed European, class struggle'.
		However, the point of this paper is not to describe the outcome of the struggle, but rather to examine the conditions for solidarity, by looking more closely at the condition of Clydeside in the period before 1914-18.

		Despite any personal difficulties he may have, his playing is as distinctive as ever - darting and weaving through the music, intuitive and melodic.
		Hulett provides solid acoustic guitar and impassioned vocals to all songs; the only non-original track being the closing "The Ghosts Of Red Clyde" which uses the tune for the traditional song "The Poor Cotton Weaver".

		By January 1916, the CWC was directing workers in 29 Clydeside engineering works.
		It was they who sought to negotiate with the Dilutions Commission, and assure themselves of more control over the policy of ‘dilution’ in the workplace.
		Afterwards, with unemployment in post-war Britain jumping from 3.3% in 1920 to 22.1%, the bosses got their revenge on the most militant of the Clydeside workforce.

	Don't take it as red - [Sunday Herald]
		It was during the battle against the forces of Conservatism, that the left-of-centre values which characterised early 20th century Red Clydeside and the “little Moscows” of the Fife coalfields, came to be seen as integral to what it meant to be Scottish.
		Paradoxically, despite this red streak running through the collective Scottish consciousness, there is little evidence of mass radical activity.
		Commentators have tended to join the dots between events displaying manifest radicalism – such as the Red Clydeside of 1919 and the 1971-2 Upper Clyde Shipbuilders’ work-in – to create a not wholly justified impression of continual radicalism.

		In addition to the fiddle, Swarb plays viola and baritone violin; sometimes overdubbed on the same track as with the lovely song "The Lassies Of Neilston." Despite any personal difficulties he may have, his playing is as distinctive as ever -- darting and weaving through the music, intuitive and melodic.
		Hulett provides solid acoustic guitar and impassioned vocals to all songs; the only non-original track being the closing "The Ghosts Of Red Clyde" which uses the tune for the traditional song "The Poor Cotton Weaver." Despite this, the music has a traditional feel to it, in terms of structure and instrumentation.
		Another contributor to the recording is Kevin Dempsey, who has previously worked with Swarbrick in the band Whippersnapper and as a duo in more recent years.

		It may be that the word is used to emphasize the difference between the red rocks of one mountain and the grey rocks of the surrounding area or neighbouring hills.
		Considering red rocks geologically, there are a lot of these in Scotland: the Torridonian, the Old Red Sandstone and the New Red Sandstone are the main sedimentary examples, but there are Caledonian granites and Cenozoic granites as well.
		At the other end of the Midland Valley, the Old Red Sandstone is found on the coast of the Firth of Clyde, though Red Clydeside is so named for different reasons altogether.
