Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Conductors: A Study in Organized Labor The railroad industry of the United States has been from its inception an object of peculiar interest to the public. Nearly every phase of its activities has now come to be a subject for state or federal legislation. One of the latest developments of this policy of supervision has to do with the relations between the railway and its employees. In the early days of railroading questions arising been master and man were of little public concern. The men were hired individually and differences of opinion between them and the company were settled individually. Concerted movement among the men in such cases was unknown. With the growth of powerful trade unions among railroad employees, however, the situation has materially changed. By means of their power to strike, reinforced by well-planned systems of federation between the various unions, the organized employees have come to occupy a position of great strategic strength. Thus a threatened strike in the summer of 1913 would have tied up, had it occurred, roads comprising 25 per cent of the total track-age, and representing nearly 40 per cent of the aggregate revenues of all the railroads in the United States. Nearly 40,000,000 people would have been deprived of the means of transportation for themselves, their goods and the very necessities of life.

Download or read book The Railway Revolution in Mexico Classic Reprint written by Bernard Moses and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railway Revolution in Mexico This was not a matter of great moment so long as Spain's colonial restrictions on trade were maintained. A few Indians or a few donkeys would carry at a single trip all that any town received from Spain in the course of a year; and the colonists were thus thrown back upon their immediate efforts for the satisfaction of their wants; and the king, by prohibiting trade between the colonies, emphasized their isolation, and indicated the uselessness of means of communication. This restrictive policy of Spain with regard to her colonies tended to place the European settlers on the economic basis of the Indians. A short period of the kind of life to which they were reduced made them forget most of the wants that had belonged to their previous station, and made it comparatively easy to provide what seemed to be an adequate satisfaction of those remaining. But by the imperfection of the means of production, and of internal transportation, a vast amount of force was consumed without great results. It is not enough to say of this case that labor was cheap, and to find in this a justification of its unprofitable use. Labor was cheap because, through the force of custom and the restrictions of the law, it continued to be used in such ways that its product could afford no larger compensation. By referring to Spain's restrictions on trade with and in America, the accomplishment of ends with rude means, and the employment of human and animal power directly with little use of mechanical appliances, we indicate the early character of Mexico's economic system, a system which became so thoroughly rooted in custom that its main characteristics were preserved well into this century; and some of its features are conspicuous in the Mexican life of the present. Fruit is still carried into the City of Mexico on the backs of men, over distances requiring journeys of several days; and when you buy it there in the market, you think it still cheap, from which may be inferred how little must be the daily compensation of these men, and, in relation to the result, how great the expenditure of force.
