Death of the QueenWritten by Kelden Lin

What had seemed like a potential turna-round in the early morning of January 19, 1901, had been merely an illu-sion because Queen Victoria laid on the bed unconsciously for the next two days. She had fought horrible health conditions for months now, but after a hard fought battle, she finally gets a rest. On January 22, 1901, the longest reigning British Monarch had her beating heart run out of time on earth.

Prior to her death, signs of her fail-ing health condition were noticed by her personal physician, Dr. James Reid. He discovered that she was dying due to the symptoms such as "the left side of her face had [starting] to sag" and "her speech [becoming] slightly slurred". The symptoms led Dr. James Reid to summon the Queen’s children and grandchildren before her inevitable death. Ultimately, she died sur-rounded by her beloved children and grandchildren.

London Dockers Went on StrikeWritten by Joy Chen

The movement of the greatest promise in the East End for years occurred in the last night on the docks of London. The lowest of the outcasts of London, have united together to fight for the rights to themselves. This massive strike was led by the dock workers, of whom their daily meals are based on luck and chances, and are lost physically and morally whilst deteriorating into the state of utter starvation.

The dock strike began over a dis-pute about “plus” money, which is a bonus pay for completing the work quickly, during the unloading of the ship Lady Armstrong in the West In-dia Docks. The general, Lieutenant

Colonel John Lowther du Plat Taylor of the East and West India Dock Company mercilessly cut the “plus” rates for his own benefits in order to attract the ships into their own docks.

Underpayment is not their only problem, but whether the dockers can obtain a job at all is the ques-tion. As the dock gates opens every morning, these proletariats have to fight a battle with each other to get closest to the man who only hires a limited number of dockers among the numerous workers. Ben Tillett, General Secretary of the Tea Operatives & General Labour-ers’ Association, and his union is not only eagerly involved in the dispute over matters of pay, but over the conditions of the dock workers. “We are driven into a shed, iron-barred from end to end, outside of which a foreman or contractor walks up and down with the air of a dealer

in a cattlemar-ket, picking and choosing from a crowd of men, “ said Tillett as he describes work as our fellow London docker: “who, in their eagerness to obtain employ-ment, trample each other under food, and where like beasts they fight for the chances of a day’s work.

The strikers were influenced by the suc-cessful strike of the Match Stick Girls last

year, and motivated by what it had achieved. If the dockers are united together, soon other sections will follow the lead. This glorious move-ment will serve as a catalyst of a series of transforms for a better East End.
