  Whiteway Colony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whiteway Colony is in the Cotswolds near Stroud, Gloucestershire.
Early life in the colony was spartan and idealistic - piped water did not arrive until 1949 and electricity until 1954.
Whiteway Colony is still in existence today and houses, among others, descendants of its original settlers.

 Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
In contrast, Whiteway’s view was still that the development of the interior and the west coast was of primary importance, and that a deal with the French was preferable to economic warfare.
Whiteway was widely criticized for abandoning his party and for weakness in not contesting the election, and with some justification.
Whiteway’s argument that the house was reneging on a commitment was ignored, as was his warning that its intransigence would doom the planned imperial guarantee for a Newfoundland development loan.

 Newfoundland History, 1889-1895
Eventually, Whiteway agreed to compromise on the matter: Newfoundland would pass a temporary enforcement bill for the enforcement of the treaties up to the end of 1893 in return for the withdrawal of the Coercion Bill from Parliament.
Consequently, Whiteway decided not to press the repeal issue, but instead asked O'Brien for an immediate dissolution and a general election, a request denied by O'Brien on the grounds that it was his job to uphold the law and not evade it which he would be doing if he granted the dissolution.
Consequently, Whiteway supporters unsuccessfully attempted to use their influence as bank directors to create a commercial crisis in the colony and force the re-opening of the Assembly before they actually lost their majority in the Assembly through being unseated.

 George Walford - Whiteway
Joy Thacker, author of Whiteway Colony, the social history of a Tolstoyan community, has lived in the Colony since her marriage, devoting eighteen of the past twenty-five years to renovating a one-bedroomed chalet and transforming it into a spacious family home.
Thacker speaks of 'the present-day occupants of Whiteway houses who must be concerned with their property and its value', and of new owners who 'struggle to raise even more money to improve their purchases' and need a reasonable return on their investment.
The labourers even outside Whiteway seem to have made quite a bit of progress, and they have done it by using hi-tech capitalism, influenced by Tolstoy and his theories, Whiteway, the Brotherhood Trust, the trade unions and the socialist movement.

In one approach, blue colonies were grown to saturation nonselectively in YEPD liquid and replated on YEPD plates.
Replica plating of these plates to SD-His and SD-Leu identified colonies that had lost one or both plasmids, and replica plating to SSX plates (supplemented with histidine and leucine) indicated whether ß-galactosidase was expressed.
Colonies containing library constructions in each pGAD vector were pooled separately, and plasmid DNA was prepared.

 Politics of Development: Building the Railway: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
The New party was defeated in the 1882 election, in which Whiteway starkly defined the issues as "Progress" versus "Stagnation and Starvation." But his opponents (many of them merchants) regrouped, and by a series of unsavoury maneuvers managed to grab control of the government and win an election (as the Reform party) in 1885.
The 1889 election returned Whiteway to power (as leader of the Liberal party), his slogans being "Vote for the Friend of the Workingman and the Apostle of Progress", and "Vote for Whiteway and $1.25 a day!" - the rate paid for railway labour.
It was now clear that the electorate supported Whiteway's prescription for economic development, and that the representatives of the "old economy" based on fish and seals would have to adjust themselves accordingly.

 A FRENCH ANARCHIST, KLEBER CLAUX (1893-1971) - Bob James
Marin knew of Whiteway Colony, originally a Tolstoyan-communist anarchist project in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire.
Whiteway, established in 1898 as a realisation of the Croydon Brotherhood Church, had quickly abandoned any pretensions the early settlers, middle class idealists in the main, may have had to radicalism and had settled into the farming of individual allotments.
Although Claux, for example, was at the Colony for 13 years approximately, the authoress of probably the only book on the colony, Nellie Shaw, never refers to him by name or to any of the other Continental arrivals except Marin and to one who became her 'free-union' companion, Francis Sedlak, a Czech.

As the crowd of intrigued onlookers followed the colony historian on a guided tour of the 40 acre site behind the veneer of late 20th century life the ghosts of anarchists past could be sensed hiding in old sheds and quiet corners of this mature anarchist arcadia.
The symbolic burning of the deeds spiked on the end of a pitchfork, the land tribunal case that upheld the principle of communal ownership of the land and the endless rumours of the 'nudist colony'.

The colony was founded in 1898 by a small group associated with the Croydon Brotherhood Church and influenced by the teaching of Tolstoy.
A monthly colony meeting still met, however, to admit new owners of houses to the use occupation of the land on which they stood and to deal with matters such as the upkeep of the roads of the colony.

 Newfoundland History, 1895-1908
In its first year the government pursued a policy of retrenchment in the civil service (some of which was dictated by partisan motives), revised the tariff to produce increased tax revenues, and floated successfully a $350,000 loan.
It also decided to divest the colony of Whiteway's legacy from the "Policy of Progress" by disposing of ownership of the recently completely railway.
Following the 1897 election, Bond had replaced Whiteway as Liberal leader, apparently having pushed Whiteway (who was personally defeated in his own district) aside from the leadership.

 Past and present anarchist communities - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The coastal area north of Albemarle Sound in what is now northeastern North Carolina had a quasi-anarchistic society in the mid-17th century.
However, as late as 1875 a few of the original occupants were still there and some business in the area was still being conducted by labor notes.
The civil war, as well as infiltration into the community by those that did not share the same libertarian and economic philosophy is said to have contributed to its eventual dissolution.

Her mother sent the infant to England, where she spent four years with foster parents in an expatriate Tolstoian colony, Whiteway, in the Cotswold Hills, Gloucestershire.
