Government poster reporting on a resolution by the Trades Union Conference in July 1916
(PRO ref: MT 23/637)
Look carefully at this source and consider what it tells you about propaganda produced by the people and the press. You should consider:
What have the TUC agreed to do?
Do you get the impression that they have agreed willingly?
Does this suggest that government propaganda in this case was effective?
This poster was issued by the government. Does that make it unreliable?
