Description |
Despite the company relenting to worker demands in 1888, its label as 'the Phossy Jaw firm' continued to prevail. Ten years after the strike the company were again in the news for under-reporting cases of phosphorous necrosis. Britain were one of the last countries to sign up to the Berne Convention recommendations and the use of white phosphorous was not banned until 1908. Most of the documentation here looks at the firm's relationship with the use of white phosphorous including press cuttings, official legislation and arbitration as well as papers relating to the White Phosphorous Matches Prohibition Bill, 1908.
