15 The Tournament of 1890 s: Labor vs Management
16 The Haymarket Affair 1886
17 On Saturday May 1, ,000 went on strike in Chicago to march in support of the 8 hour day. It was a one-day strike because everyone worked on Saturday.
18 On Monday workers continued the strike at the McCormick Reaper Plant Violence broke out and four worker died. A Protest Meeting was called for the next day in Haymarket Square in Chicago
19
20 About 3,000 persons assembled that evening in Haymarket Square and listened to speakers denounce the greed of the thieving masters who sent their bloodhounds out to shoot you, to kill you! The crown had dwindled to a few hundred when 180 policemen showed up, and ordered the crowd to disperse. A speaker said the meeting was almost over when...
21 A bomb was thrown. 66 policemen were hurt, 7 later died. The police then fired into the crowd, killing several, wounding 200.
22
23
24 8 anarchists were rounded up and arrested. Anarchists were people who believed that the government and the industrialists worked together to keep the working man and woman down. They argued against all organized government and said workers had to take the law into their own hands.
25 We urgently call upon the wage-earning class to arm itself in order to be able to put forth against their exploiters such an argument which alone can be effective: violence. - Parsons and Spies Keep them (Parsons and Spies) in view. Hold them personally responsible for any trouble that occurs. Make an example of them if trouble occurs. - Citizens Committee of businessmen to the Police
26 All 8 were found Guilty of Murder. If you think that by hanging us you can stamp out the labor movement- the movement from which the downtrodden millions who toil and live in want and misery, the wage slaves, expect salvation- if this is you opinion, hang us! Here you will tread upon a spark, but there and here... everywhere, flames will blaze up. It is a subterranean fire. You cannot put it out - August Spies 7 were sentenced to death.
27 4 were hanged: Albert Parsons, August Spies, Adolph Fischer and George Engel. 1 committed suicide in prison. 2 had their sentences commuted to life in prison 1 was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
28 The funeral
29 The Reaction Among working people: outrage and then fear; many stop supporting unions and workers movements. Others became radicalized by the verdict and sentence: Emma Goldman, Clarence Darrow and Alexander Berkman Among the Captains of Industry : renewed confidence that opposition to them would be dealt with severely by the authorities.
30 Pivotal Questions: 1. Is violence justified when an injustice is occurring? 2. Are we responsible for the actions of others if acted because of our words? Is there any limit on free speech?
31 Governor John Peter Altgeld In 1892 this German-born politician won the governorship as a reformist candidate. In 1893, at the urging of Clarence Darrow and labor leaders, he granted clemency to three surviving men convicted in the Haymarket Riot. The controversial pardon provoked an outcry from conservatives and contributed to his defeat for reelection in 1896.
32 The American Federation of Labor: 1886 Samuel Gompers
33 How the AF of L Would Help the Workers ù ù ù ù ù ù ù Catered to the skilled worker. Represented workers in matters of national legislation. Maintained a national strike fund. Evangelized the cause of unionism. Prevented disputes among the many craft unions. Mediated disputes between management and labor. Pushed for closed shops.
34 Homestead Steel Strike (1892) The Amalgamated Association of Iron & Steel Workers Homestead Steel Works
35 Andrew Carnegie
36 Andrew Carnegie $ Gospel of Wealth (1901). $ Inequality is inevitable and good. $ Philanthrophy: Wealthy should act as trustees for their poorer brethren. $ Anglo-Saxon race is superior
37 Big Corporate Profits
38 Carnegie Steel Co. Vs. Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers 1889 Strike 3 year contract 1892: Carnegie wants to avoid another expensive contract. Solution: break the union. Instructs his plant manager to step up production demands; when they refused these new rules, enforce a lockout of the skilled tradesman (20% of 3,800 workers) The other 80% vote to walk out in solidarity

42 George Pullman developed the first Pullman car after spending a very uncomfortable night in a sleeping car on a trip from New York to Chicago.
43 The first Pullman Car was designed to be a luxury railroad car that was a day-coach that turned into a sleeper car at night.
44 At first railroads where not interested in this new car as it was higher and wider than other railcars. The presidential railroad car
45 In 1867, George Pullman incorporated the Pullman Palace Car Company.
46 He expanded his business to include dining cars, parlor cars, private cars as well as the sleeping cars.

53 The Pullman Strike of 1894
54 The Pullman workers joined this union in the spring of 1894, after George Pullman ignored their pleas

56 ARU refuses to handle Pullman cars The strike extended to encompass all of the 24 rail lines out of Chicago
57 The Pullman Strike of 1894

59 July 1 st, injunction against Eugene Debs and American Railway Union July 4 th, President Cleveland sent federal troops to protect the Pullman factory
60 President Grover Cleveland If it takes the entire army and navy to deliver a postal card in Chicago, that card will be delivered!
61 Federal troops ended the blockade and trains began moving again Debs is arrested Strike officially ends as of July 12, 1894
62 - Workers return for lower wages. - Negative reaction by most people in the U.S. towards UNIONS
63 The strike proved that a large number of workers would be sympathetic to the plight of other workers to cause an interruption of a major service Highlighted the ongoing dispute between states rights and federal powers

74 Labor Union Membership
75 Solidarity Forever! by Ralph Chapin (1915) When the union's inspiration through the workers blood shall run, There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun; Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one, But the union makes us strong! CHORUS: Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, For the union makes us strong!
76
77 Solidarity Forever! Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite, Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might? Is there anything left to us but to organize and fight? For the union makes us strong! CHORUS: Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, For the union makes us strong!
78 Solidarity Forever! * * * * Through our sisters and our brothers we can make our union strong, For respect and equal value, we have done without too long. We no longer have to tolerate injustices and wrongs, Yes, the union makes us strong! CHORUS: Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, For the union makes us strong!
