Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Labor and the Railroads In this country, to a greater extent, perhaps, than in any other, public Opinion should be termed popular Opinion, consequently it is very human and natural in its characteristics. Today it is radical, to-morrow conservative, but at all times it has its ear to the ground to catch lessons from history. While at times it may appear to be longsuffering and indifferent, it is, nevertheless, very slow to forgive an injury. This is the teaching of instinct, which is as noticeable in the behavior of a nation as in that of an individual. Just at present, for ex ample, popular Opinion cannot make up its mind to deal reasonably with corporations and managers. It has now to be educated to treat these people fairly. But the corporations cannot expect the public to arrive at the unassisted conclusion that their business, generally speaking, is now above board and legitimate. It thus becomes their duty to advertise and demonstrate these facts. Recon ciliation is certain to follow frankness and pub licity.

Download or read book Railway Conductors written by Edwin Clyde Robbins and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
