Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Emergency Relief After the Washington Place Fire: New York, March 25, 1911 The police lists of dead and injured were secured on Sunday, and before ten o'clock on Monday morning a staff of visitors, office assistants, and stenographers had been recruited from the United Hebrew Charities, the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, and the Charity Organization Society. Visitors were in the field be fore noon. A record card was printed during the day and was ready for use Tuesday morning. By Wednesday night all the families on the police lists had been visited. At the end of three weeks the emergency office was closed, and the Director continued the work from his offices in the United Charities Building. Applications were received by mail, as well as at the Building, and in all twenty-two new cases were regis tered in the next four weeks. After that time, seven weeks after the accident, the few new applications for assistance on account of the fire were handled by the Joint Application Bureau in the Charities Building in the regular way, and referred, if need seemed to exist, to the charitable societies, on the understanding that they would be reimbursed for any expenditure in such cases which was properly chargeable to the emergency relief fund. One-third of the cases, chiefly those in which no serious injury had been sustained, were closed within five weeks after the fire; and another third within two months more, that is, before July. Of the third that remained in charge at that time three months after the fire - some had not yet been able to work out plans for the future, and in others it was necessary to await information from remote villages in Europe before reaching a final decision. The last payments were made in March, 1912. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Triangle Fire Protocols Of Peace written by Richard Greenwald and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-07 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America searched for an answer to "The Labor Question" during the Progressive Era in an effort to avoid the unrest and violence that flared so often in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. In the ladies' garment industry, a unique experiment in industrial democracy brought together labor, management, and the public. As Richard Greenwald explains, it was an attempt to "square free market capitalism with ideals of democracy to provide a fair and just workplace." Led by Louis Brandeis, this group negotiated the "Protocols of Peace." But in the midst of this experiment, 146 mostly young, immigrant women died in the Triangle Factory Fire of 1911. As a result of the fire, a second, interrelated experiment, New York's Factory Investigating Commission (FIC)—led by Robert Wagner and Al Smith—created one of the largest reform successes of the period. The Triangle Fire, the Protocols of Peace, and Industrial Democracy in Progressive Era New York uses these linked episodes to show the increasing interdependence of labor, industry, and the state. Greenwald explains how the Protocols and the FIC best illustrate the transformation of industrial democracy and the struggle for political and economic justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The iconic relief organization’s activities over a half century of history, through wars, epidemics, and other disasters: “Well-researched . . . fascinating.” —Julia F. Irwin, Bulletin of the History of Medicine In dark skirts and bloodied boots, Clara Barton fearlessly ventured onto Civil War battlefields to tend to wounded soldiers. She later worked with civilians in Europe during the Franco-Prussian War, lobbied legislators to ratify the Geneva conventions, and founded and ran the American Red Cross. The American Red Cross from Clara Barton to the New Deal tells the story of the charitable organization from its start in 1881, through its humanitarian aid during wars, natural disasters, and the Depression, to its relief efforts of the 1930s. Marian Moser Jones illustrates the tension between the organization’s founding principles of humanity and neutrality and the political, economic, and moral pressures that sometimes caused it to favor one group at the expense of another. This book tells the stories of: • U.S. natural disasters such as the Jacksonville yellow fever epidemic of 1888, the Sea Islands hurricane of 1893, and the 1906 San Francisco earthquake • crises abroad, including the 1892 Russian famine and the Armenian massacres of 1895–96 • efforts to help civilians affected by the civil war in Cuba • power struggles within the American Red Cross leadership and subsequent alliances with the American government • the organization’s expansion during World War I • race riots and massacres in East St. Louis, Chicago, and Tulsa between 1917 and 1921 • help for African American and white Southerners after the Mississippi flood of 1927 • relief projects during the Dust Bowl and after the New Deal An epilogue relates the history of the American Red Cross since the beginning of World War II and illuminates the organization’s current practices and international reputation.
