Book Description
This is a study of industrial unrest in the cotton industry at a time when the economy was on the threshold of mid-Victorian prosperity, and when Chartism was still much more than a memory. The town of Preston was the crucial battlefield, and here the masters and men fought out a bitter trial of strength. The strike of 1853-54 closed the Preston cotton industry for seven months, and disrupted production in many other towns in Lancashire. Against the implacable opposition of the masters, the strikers toured the country to organize support, and raised £100,000 in subscriptions from their fellow operatives. The dispute featured prominently in the national and provincial press, and the weavers' delegates, notably George Cowell and Mortimer Grimshaw, became celebrities overnight. After five months, the employers brought in blackleg labour, and when the detested `knobsticks' failed to break the strike they had the operatives' leaders arrested. These moves did not deter the cotton workers, who were forced back to work only when their financial reserves were exhausted. Their campaign ended defiantly, as it had begun, with cries of `Ten Per Cent still, and no surrender'. This book is their story.

Book Description
No Surrender: Building a Progressive Agenda for Iowa with the Five Securities by Jack Hatch “In an era of endless social media carping, the notion of why public service matters may seem quaint or even naïve to some. This book is about why, for progressive Democrats, nothing could be further from the truth. Dreaming of ways to improve the human condition for work-a-day Americans and their families is absolutely essential to our purpose and our survival as a political organization. The stakes are always the highest possible ones: the fate of our individual communities and the country we love. And the enemy is always the same: a status quo that tells us ‘not you,’ ‘not yet,’ ‘not that way,’ and ‘not now.’” “Jack Hatch provides a thought-provoking and challenging look into Iowa's future. His is a call for progressive action. He pulls no punches in calling for a new direction and approach for the Democratic Party if its leaders are to become Iowa’s leaders. A “must read” for anyone considering a run for higher office.” - Former Governor of Iowa Tom Vilsack “This book is highly revealing. It identifies, without concern of how it affects the feelings of those in power, absolute realities of why Democrats fall short of election goals during each cycle. The narrative represents a path by which the party can return to its historic role of being “the voice of the people.” And, unlike most, this book is definitive in laying out a plan for success. Jack Hatch has provided a map of the path we must follow. To ignore his challenge to become Progressives will only lead to party oblivion.” - Senator Dennis Black, Retired “I am impressed. Without resorting to a rant, Jack Hatch scolds Iowa Democrat leadership for their lack of courage in pressing for bold liberal goals and for surrendering their advocacy for the “melting middle class.” To his credit, Hatch does not exclude himself from past errors. The Five Security agenda he presents as his bold progressive vision for what Iowa can become is done so with compelling detailed specifics as to mission, process and structure. In fact, were his vision to come to be adopted and funded, I would move back to Iowa.” - Dr. Elliot Kline, PH.D Dean and Professor Retired
