Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the struggle between organized labor and capital in the railroad industry, during and after World War I. The author, a prominent labor leader, argues that the only way to solve the ongoing labor problems plaguing the railroads is through public ownership and democratic control of their operations. In exploring this perspective, the author discusses the historical context of labor organizing in the country, the impact of the war on the economy, and the ways in which the railroad industry has been negatively affected by private interests. The book also delves into the author's belief that the solution to the high cost of living and rampant profiteering lies in the government taking control of essential industries, such as coal mining. Ultimately, the book provides a compelling argument for workers' rights and economic fairness, and its insights into the relationship between labor, capital, and government remain highly relevant today.
