Caldemeyer Lexington, KY Director: Dr. Tracy Campbell, Professor of History Lexington, KY 2016 Copyright © Dana M. Caldemeyer 2016 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION RUN OF THE MINE: MINERS, FARMERS, AND THE NON-UNION SPIRIT OF THE GILDED AGE, 1886-1896 “Run of the Mine” examines why workers refused to join unions in the late nineteenth century. Through a focus on the men and women involved in the southern Midwest coal industry who quit or did not join unions, this dissertation analyzes the economic, geographic, and racial factors that contributed to workers’ attitudes toward national unions like the United Mine Workers of America (UMW). It argues that the fluidity between rural industries that allowed residents to work in multiple occupations throughout the year dramatically shaped worker expectations for their unions. This occupational fluidity that allowed miners to farm and farmers to mine coincided with farmer and worker stockholding, futures market speculations, cooperative endeavors, and strikebreaking efforts that complicated workplace relationships and muddled local union goals. Taken together, these factors caused workers to craft their own concepts of unionism that did not always fit with national union agendas. Workers’ disinterest in formal unions, then, did not come from an apathy toward unionism, but from a belief that unions did not offer the surest means to attain their economic, political, and social needs. KEYWORDS: Non-unionism, capitalism, rural labor, agriculture, dual occupations Dana M. Caldemeyer April 8, 2016 Date RUN OF THE MINE: MINERS, FARMERS, AND THE NON-UNION SPIRIT OF THE GILDED AGE, 1886-1896 By Dana M. Caldemeyer Dr. Tracy A. Campbell Director of Dissertation Dr. Scott K. Taylor Director of Graduate Studies April 8, 2016 Date “Organization is simply a means to an end and not the end itself….” --“Old Residenter,” Indiana coal miner United Mine Worker’s Journal, May 26, 1892 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Writing labor history pertaining to the late nineteenth century, more often than not, is depressing. Even when the “good guys” were truly good, they seldom won. It makes writing about workers difficult. Without a strong support network, this process would have been more painful than any grad student could stand. But this acknowledgement section is proof that there are people willing to go out of their way to make research easier, writing tolerable, and life so much brighter. I have been blessed with a fantastic family, amazing friends, and astute colleagues who all made this project stronger than I could have ever hoped or imagined. Such teamwork may not have always worked well for labor organizing in the 1880s and 1890s, but it has definitely benefitted me. Those who have known or worked with Ronald Formisano will agree that I could not have found a more knowledgeable, challenging, or helpful mentor. I know he had countless better things to do with his retirement than correct awkward chapter drafts, but he carefully read each one anyway; some of them several times over. I am so grateful he took the time and effort to train me. My first-rate dissertation committee gave fantastic feedback and constant encouragement throughout this process. Mark Summers graciously answered my questions about trade networks, railroads, and politics long after he had likely lost interest. And even after that, he read this entire dissertation, saving me from a host of embarrassing errors. Phil Harling, Amy Taylor, and Michael Kazin carefully read this draft and gave terrific insight on developing this project. Jeremy Crampton and Ernest Yanarella likewise offered excellent critiques. But none of this would have been possible iii without Tracy Campbell. A skilled dissertation director, he waded through atrocious drafts and pushed me to work through organizational issues, research problems, and arguments. This hunk of research would not be passable without him. I have had the benefit of a host of helpful readers through the course of this project. It was truly an honor to have Bruce Laurie read and offer his valuable insight on this dissertation. His knowledge of labor organizing in the late nineteenth century is unmatched and I am grateful he took the time to share his expertise with me. Edward Blum, Matthew Hild, and Chad Montrie all offered great conversation, new perspectives, and fantastic advice that made arguments clearer and chapters stronger. Eric Arnesen, Andrew Arnold, Cindy Hahamovitch, Jennifer Luff, Scott Nelson, and the rest of the participants in the D.C. Working Class History Seminar provided excellent feedback on Chapter Three that helped immensely with the overall structure of my dissertation. J. Burton Kirkwood offered the interest and encouragement that motivated me to turn an undergraduate paper into a doctoral dissertation. I’m not sure where I would be without the support of the University of Kentucky History Department faculty and staff. Bruce Holle’s wisdom and advice were invaluable throughout my time at UK and I consider myself fortunate to have such a great friend and mentor. James Albisetti, Ronald Eller, Joanne Melish, Francis Musoni, Eric Myrup, Gerald Smith, and Scott Taylor offered much appreciated encouragement, interest in my research, and made POT 17 a more welcome place. Tina Hagee, a stellar administrator, receives far too little credit for the work she does. Not only did she help with the mounds of paperwork required to navigate the University bureaucracy, but she went out of her iv way to make sure that the process was as painless as possible and that my research was funded. My research would not have been possible without research award money or the army of librarians and archivists at the University of Kentucky and elsewhere. The National Society of Colonial Dames of America granted me extensive research funds through their Regional History Award that funded my early research trips. UK’s Lance Banning Memorial award, travel support from the UK History Department and Graduate School, as well as generous support from the William T. Bryan Chair all eased research and travel expenses at different points of this project. The William T. Bryan Dissertation Fellowship likewise made it possible for me to focus on writing and last minute research crucial to strengthening this project. UK’s Interlibrary Loan and Circulation departments endured my unending requests for more microfilm and books and Judy Fugate was always happy to order more. John Hoffmann at the University of Illinois and the staff at the Indiana State Archives, University of Iowa, University of Missouri, as well as the Illinois state archives at the University of Illinois-Normal repository and at the state capital happily accommodated my constant requests to see anything they had on coal mining and farming. Glenna Schroeder-Lein and Debbie Hamm at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library made my time in Springfield a joy as they pulled collection after collection for me, helped me track down new ones, and patiently listened as I told them more than they ever wanted to know about the Illinois coal industry.

The land where necessity and courage had fostered industry and wealth, pre- sented a fitting scene for such a gathering, Columbia, the youngest among the continents of the civilized world, should act the part of hostess at the celebration of her four hundredth birthday, by extending to the world an invitation to commemorate the event in a display of the material evidences of the progress of the human family.

But the era­ sures were not always complete; and so it became the fascinating task of scholars not only to translate the later records but also to reconstruct the original writ­ ings by deciphering the dim fragments of letters partly erased and partly covered by subsequent texts. The history of Iowa may be likened to a palimpsest which holds the record of successive generations. To decipher these records of the past, reconstruct them, and tell the stories which they contain is the task of those who write history.

  • Essay Review Labor and the Landscape of American Gothic*
    Labor History, Vol. 44, No. 1, 2003 Essay Review Labor and the Landscape of American Gothic* BRIAN PAGE The study of cultural landscapes comprises one of the older traditions within the discipline of geography. Geographers view all landscapes as repositories of human action—for even “wilderness” sites have been rendered so by human agency—that reflect our character, experience, and aspirations. Recent scholarship has demonstrated that landscapes are the direct products of contest among different social groups; they are fashioned and refashioned through the exercise of social power. At the same time, such landscapes actively shape society; they are complex systems of symbolic represen- tation through which certain values and meanings are attached to both the built and “natural” environments. Thus, landscapes are “maps of meaning” that reflect and reproduce dominant cultural practice and the social order.1 Nonetheless, landscapes can hide as much as they reveal. Though formed through social contest the end result, according to Don Mitchell, “fully mystifies that con- tentiousness, creating instead a smooth surface, a mute representation, a clear view that is little clouded by considerations of inequality, power, coercion, or resistance.”2 In particular, what is most often missed is the human labor involved in the construction of a landscape, and the struggle over that labor and how it is deployed. Indeed, while all landscapes are the products of human work, the work that landscape often does is precisely to hide that labor. Thus, one of the chief goals of landscape study is to probe beneath the surface of material landscapes such as neighborhoods, commercial districts, or public spaces in order to reveal the conditions under which a landscape is made.
