Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Workers of the Nation, Vol. 1 of 2: An Encyclopedia of the Occupations of the American People and a Record of Business, Professional and Industrial Achievement at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century America is a nation of workers; but the story of their manifold activities has never been set forth until the publication of the presents volumes. Our mines, soil, forests and waterways have been developed to a point that has made them the natural wonders of industry; our manufacturing and business enterprises have amazed commercial nations already alarmed by the rapid expansion of our foreign trade; our professional genius has accomplished the apparently impossible; the American artisan has surpassed those of all other countries by attaining the highest standard of skill; but hitherto the record of these achievements could be obtained only by tiresome search through a great number of government and private reports. The need, therefore, was for a complete story, in a single work, of business, industrial and professional achievement in the United States at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. In an attempt to fill this gap on our library shelves, the present work was prepared. It is dedicated to the thirty million persons in this country - including five million women and half a million children - who are engaged in gainful occupations. For these are the "workers of the nation." It is hoped that this popular description of the manifold activities which are developing the nation will stimulate interest in the marvellous mechanism of our labor, and foster pride in the success of the American workman, be his capacity industrial or professional. Moreover, this story of work may help to remove the isolation of the specialist, the technician, and the plodder in routine. These may now obtain a broader conception of what their fellow workman is doing and come to a higher appreciation of his skill, energy and achievements. Perhaps there will follow a corresponding abolition of the notion that one's own occupation is all sufficient to promote the welfare of humanity, and the awakening of a desire to co-operate with ones fellow workers in advancing the true interest of the American nation and the world at large.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Workers of the Nation, Vol. 2 of 2: An Encyclopedia of the Occupations of the American People and a Record of Business, Professional and Industrial Achievement at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century Those States and nations arc rich, powerful, and enlightened whose transportation facilities are best and most extended. The dying nations are those with little or no transportation facilities. A few years ago, two Imperial governments of Europe - Germany and Russia - gave to the world their indorsement of the idea that modern transportation facilities form the surest foundation upon which to build and sustain a nation. The Emperor of Germany in a speech to the Prussian Diet impressed upon his hearers the great importance of extending the railroads and the navigable canals. Moreover, in order that the German nation might have knowledge of the most advanced theories and practice in the construction and operation of railways, an Imperial German Commission was sent to the United States for the purpose of examining American railways and making such recommendations as their investigation should suggest. In the report of this Commission one of the first sentences is, "Lack of speed, lack of comfort, lack of cheap rates, are the charges brought against the German Empire's railways, as compared with those of the United States." The immense sums which the Russians are devoting to the extension of their railways entirely overshadow the demands of both the army and navy. They have in Japan more than one hundred locomotives that were built in the United States. In Russia, they have nearly one thousand American locomotives, and practically every railway in Great Britain has ordered locomotives in this country since the war with Spain. But it is not alone our locomotives that have attracted the attention of foreigners who have visited our shores. Our railway equipment generally has commanded admiration, and is now receiving the highest compliment, namely, imitation by many of our sister nations. Some general statement concerning the growth and present magnitude of the railway as an industry is essential to an understanding of railway operation as an occupation.

Download or read book The Encyclopedia of Strikes in American History written by Aaron Brenner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 1442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strikes have been part of American labor relations from colonial days to the present, reflecting the widespread class conflict that has run throughout the nation's history. Against employers and their goons, against the police, the National Guard, local, state, and national officials, against racist vigilantes, against their union leaders, and against each other, American workers have walked off the job for higher wages, better benefits, bargaining rights, legislation, job control, and just plain dignity. At times, their actions have motivated groundbreaking legislation, defining new rights for all citizens; at other times they have led to loss of workers' lives. This comprehensive encyclopedia is the first detailed collection of historical research on strikes in America. To provide the analytical tools for understanding strikes, the volume includes two types of essays - those focused on an industry or economic sector, and those focused on a theme. Each industry essay introduces a group of workers and their employers and places them in their economic, political, and community contexts. The essay then describes the industry's various strikes, including the main issues involved and outcomes achieved, and assesses the impact of the strikes on the industry over time. Thematic essays address questions that can only be answered by looking at a variety of strikes across industries, groups of workers, and time, such as, why the number of strikes has declined since the 1970s, or why there was a strike wave in 1946. The contributors include historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and philosophers, as well as current and past activists from unions and other social movement organizations. Photos, a Topic Finder, a bibliography, and name and subject indexes add to the works appeal.
