Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Burlington Strike: Its Motives and Methods; Including the Causes of the Strike, Remote and Direct, and the Relations to It, of the Organizations of Locomotive Engineers, Locomotive Firemen, Switchmen's M. A. A

The relations between capital and labor, along the Burlington system in 1888, attracted the attention of employers and employes in all parts of the world. The causes which led to dissatisfaction on the part of the laborers, and their ineffectual efforts to remedy not able evils, ought to be as widely known. The power which a great company has to coerce, or to punish, has hardly been known in this country until the great Burlington strike brought it out. The labor organiza tions have a right to know what kind of a foe a rail road company may become, what are its aggressions in time of peace, and what its tactics in time of strife.
