Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recent Progress of the Socialist and Labor Movements in the United States, 1907, Vol. 6: Report of Morris The Democratic Party, on the other hand, has taken occasion in numerous local and state platforms to denounce the villainous trusts and monopolies even more vehemently, and to demand the municipal and state ownership and operation of certain industries. At the same time, and as part of the same process, new reform parties and movements have sprung up in various parts of the country. The American Federation of Labor, the largest body of organized American workingmen, for the first time in its existence of a quarter of a century, violated its vow of political neutrality, when it interfered in the congressional elections of 1906. In separate parts of the country, notably in the State of California, the local trade unions organized themselves into independent political parties under the name of Union Labor Party. In the City of San Francisco, the Western metropolis of America, that party succeeded twice in carrying the municipal elections. But of far greater dimensions than these parties of labor were the numerous middle class reform movements of the most recent period of American politics. The year 1905 was a banner year for those movements: it witnesses the election of Judge Edward F. Dunne as mayor of Chicago on a platform declaring for the municipal ownership of street railways and other municipal monopolies; the election into the gubernatorial chair of Missouri of Joseph W. Folk, who had made for himself a record in the prosecution of the criminal city official and political bosses of. St. Louis; the election as governor of Wisconsin and subsequently as United States senator of Robert M. LaFollette, a noted radical and reformer in politics, and finally the signal feat of William R. Hearst in the City of New York. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
