Workers' Dreadnought
Workers' Dreadnought was a communist newspaper based in London and led by Sylvia Pankhurst.
The paper was started by Pankhurst at the suggestion of Zelie Emerson, after Pankhurst had been expelled from the Women's Social and Political Union by her mother and sister. The paper was published on behalf of the newly formed East London Federation of Suffragettes.
Provisionally titled Workers' Mate[citation needed], the newspaper first appeared on 8 March 1914, as The Woman's Dreadnought, with a circulation of 20,000 stated.
When the editor was imprisoned, Norah Smyth alternated as acting editor with Jack O'Sullivan. For many years, Smyth had used her skills as a photographer to provide pictures for the newspaper of East End life, particularly of women and children living in poverty.
On 28 July 1917, the name was changed to Workers' Dreadnought, which initially had a circulation of 10,000[citation needed]. Its slogan changed to "Socialism, Internationalism, Votes for All", and then in July 1918 to "For International Socialism", reflecting increasing opposition to Parliamentarism in the party.
The paper took a strong stance against the First World War, calling for Britain to begin peace negotiations, and speaking positively of Russia's exit from the war. The paper's first issue for October 1917 advocated for a peace referendum among the British Army, but before it could enter circulation the Metropolitan Police raided offices of Workers Dreadnought and destroyed the copies of the issue.
On 19 June 1920, Workers' Dreadnought was adopted as the official weekly organ of the Communist Party (British Section of the Third International).
I write because I feel that the ultimate result of your propaganda will be further strife and blood-spilling between whites and the many members of my race... who have been dumped down on the English docks since the ending of the European war... Bourbons of the United States will thank you, and the proletarian underworld of London will certainly gloat over the scoop of the Christian-Socialist pacifist Daily Herald.
