Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the tumultuous era of World War I and the years immediately following, the leadership of the United States had shifted from Wilson to Harding and the mood of the nation from pro-labor to pro-business. Colin Davis introduces readers to the 400,000 railroad shopmen and their working world and to the national government's dynamic influence on labor from 1917 to 1922. Davis's study provides a much-needed synthesis of shifting power relations among labor, capital, and the state, as well as a cogent interpretation of union structural experimentation and failure. It will be of interest to social, political, business, legal, and labor historians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Case of the Railway Shopmen: A Brief Statement of Facts Concerning the Controversies Which Precipitated the Strike It appears from your proclamation of July eleventh that incomplete information has been furnished you concerning the present dispute between the railroad operators and employes. Ninety-two railroads have violated the Transportation Act, or decisions of the Railroad Labor Board, in one hundred and four cases. These involve not only contracting out work and shops but also wage decisions, interpretations of rules and rights of employes to select their own representatives. When the Pennsylvania Railroad refused to comply with the Board's ruling Federal Judge Page held that the Board's decisions on wages or rules are only advisory. The railroads have refused ever since the passage of the Transportation Act to establish National Boards of Adjustment, described by Labor Board "as an essential part of the machinery to decide disputes between the carriers and their employes." The railroads have made all negotiations merely formal, thus throwing on the Board an impossible burden of arbitration. The Board has abolished overtime pay for Sundays and holidays, enjoyed for thirty years even on unorganized roads. The Board has established a basic wage of eight hundred dollars per year, although the U. S. Bureau of Labor statistics fixed the bare subsistence cost of living at over fourteen hundred dollars, and a minimum comfort budget at over twenty-three hundred dollars. When the basic wage is unjust it follows that all wages graded upwards for skill and responsibility are likewise unjust.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Railroad Strike of 1922 became the fifth biggest labor strike in the nation's history. United States Attorney General at the time, Harry Daugherty said, "Agitation of railroad strikers at Shawnee is at as high a pitch as any point in the United States." Shawnee, Oklahoma became the epicenter in the battle between workers and railroad management. Between July 1, 1922 and January 16, 1923, the town saw massive meetings and demonstrations, shootings on the streets, the invasion of over a hundred deputy marshals, robberies of strikebreakers, and six explosions caused by dynamite within the city limits. By the end of March 1923, twenty-five men had been arrested related to the violence. One of the young men arrested in the strike, James Overstreet would become a notorious bank robber credited with over 15 bank robberies, including one in his hometown of Shawnee, Oklahoma. This book surveys newspaper articles from the Shawnee Morning News, The Daily Oklahoman, the New York Times, the Associated Press, and other periodicals between July 1, 1922 and December 31, 1924.
