By means of clubs and societies women have of late years endeav­ ored to secure fuller social life and enlarged opportunities for study and usefulness. These organizations in the beginning were simple in form and usually literary or purely charitable in character, such sub­ jects as religion, suffrage, and political economy being carefully shunned. Friendly intercourse and self-improvement were the objects sought. The clubs increased rapidly in size and importance. In small com­ munities they, together with the strictly religious societies, represented in the life of their members the only social and intellectual activities in reach, while in large cities, where the population is too great for the churches to maintain any tie of acquaintance among those who frequent them, these secular gatherings fostered social relations and opened up endless lines of personal endeavor. The next demand of the club members was to enlarge the scope of study and to apply the knowledge they had acquired to the practical affairs of life. Thus the department club came into being. The work was usually divided into two or more sections, as education, reform, philanthropy, home, art, science, literature, and philosophy. Better results could be obtained, it was found, by specializing the subjects of inquiry and making the aims more definite. As a natural conse­ quence the attempt to solve problems of one sort brought the women face to face with other questions equally vital and far-reaching. Grap­ pling with educational difficulties and starting school reforms disclosed many glaring evils that affected the children in each neighborhood, or the home in which they live, or the breadwinner on whom the child 501 Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 502 BULLETIN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR. depends. Dispensing charity led to a more scientific view of philan­ thropy, which in turn opened up ail the field of industrial achievement and the part that women and children take in factory and mercantile life. The larger clubs plunged at once into many forms of public activity, and became a power for good in their respective communities, institut­ ing some reforms, indorsing others, and by direct and indirect influence championing better methods. They administered charities, carried on civic work in their neighborhood, increased the efficiency of the schools, secured better factory laws for workers, and helped to advance women to the positions of factory inspector, police matron, and school trustee. The clubs were also identified with many large movements, such as tenement-house reform, public parks and playgrounds, sanitation and cleanliness, and abolition of the sweating system. The single club, however influential, soon found its usefulness limited to its own locality, whereas help from other sections was often required to reach legislators and bring about much needed reforms. Therefore the more progressive club women soon realized that in combination lies strength not to be attained by any unit. The time was ripe for concert of action, cooperation in effort. In the middle States and New England the federation plan originated, the clubs forming first a State federa­ tion and then these State federations joined together into the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, with national officers and a national board. The General Federation brought about as fast as possible other State organizations, which in turn affiliated with the General Federation. At present thirty State federations are members of the General Federation, and in time no doubt the clubs of every State in the Union will band together and enter the national federation. A broader culture and more uniform and effective methods of work will result. As such a body of earnest and intelligent women must inevitably influence public opinion, their attitude toward economic and sociolog­ ical questions becomes important. For that reason the Commissioner of Labor addressed to all the women’s clubs on the lists of the General Federation and auxiliary State federations a circular letter with a schedule of inquiries in regard to any special study in social economics, or any practical work in this direction conducted or carried on by the club. This letter and schedule was also sent to many clubs not allied with the General Federation or the State federations. Every effort was made to obtain replies which would indicate the position of the women’s clubs of the country toward social economics. One thousand two hundred and eighty-three clubs responded to the circular letter. Many did not reply, but from the Federation clubs the answers came in gratifying numbers. To the first question—Is the study of sociology, political economy, or philanthropy pursued by your club?—431 responded in the affirmative. Nine clubs reported Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis w o m e n ’s c l u b s a n d associations. 503 that these studies were not on the club programme, but that in the future the clubs intended to study civics and philanthropy. In answering the question—Does the club carry on xiractical work in all or any of the above lines?—425 clubs reported that practical work was carried on by the club in all or in one or two of these branches. One singular fact is manifest: The clubs which pursue the social- economic studies do not always report that they are engaged in prac­ tical work on these lines, while many clubs which are engaged in prac­ tical work of this sort do not jiursue the studies named. In answer to the question—Is this work the xirineipal one of the club, or is it auxiliary?—75 clubs replied that work in one or more of these branches is the principal occupation of the club, while 303 reported such work as auxiliary to the regular literary studies of the club. Other answers obtained throw light on the democratic influence of the clubs on their members. Thus, in reply to the question—Are work­ ing women members of your club?—350 clubs rex>orted in the affirma­ tive. This classification included women working in the x>rofessions, commerce, and the trades. To the question—Are there working girls’ clubs which are auxiliary to your club?—only 29 clubs replied that such auxiliary societies had been organized. In answer to the question—Is there a tendency among the working women in your locality to study these subjects?—338 clubs replied that the working women evince this tendency. Responding to the question—Which is preferable for work­ ing women, to enter existing clubs or to form separate organizations ?— 388 clubs stated that it is wiser for working women to enter existing organizations, while 423 clubs favored forming separate organizations. The writer addressed a letter to 12 of the clubs which favored form­ ing separate organizations and requested the reasons for this opinion. Six replied that their club met in the afternoon when working women could not attend; three replied that the work of the club took so much time that working women could not keep uj>

This dissertation examines the experiences of campeños and campeñas, men and women who lived and worked in the banana fincas (plantations) of the Tela Railroad Company, a subsidiary of the United Fruit Company, and the Standard Fruit Company in the period leading up to the strike of 1954. It describes the lives, work, and relationships of agricultural workers in the North Coast during the period, traces the development of the labor movement, and explores the formation of a banana worker identity and culture that influenced labor and politics at the national level. This study focuses on the years 1944-1957, a period of political reform, growing dissent against the Tiburcio Carías Andino dictatorship, and worker agency and resistance against companies' control over workers and the North Coast banana regions dominated by U.S. companies. Actions and organizing among many unheralded banana finca workers consolidated the powerful general strike and brought about national outcomes in its aftermath, including the state's institution of the labor code and Ministry of Labor.

  • Strikebreaking and the Labor Market in the United States, 1881-1894
    Strikebreaking and the Labor Market in the United States, 1881-1894 JOSHUA L. ROSENBLOOM Using data from a sample of over 2,000 individual strikes in the United States from 1881 to 1894 this article examines geographic, industrial, and temporal variations in the use of strikebreakers and the sources from which they were recruited. The use of strikebreakers was not correlated with the business cycle and did not vary appreciably by region or city size, but employers located outside the Northeast or in smaller cities were more likely to use replacement workers recruited from other places. The use of strikebreakers also varied considerably across industries, and was affected by union authorization and strike size. he forces determining wages and working conditions in American labor Tmarkets were radically altered in the decades after the Civil War. Im- provements in transportation and communication increased the ability of workers to migrate in response to differential opportunities and encouraged employers in labor-scarce areas to recruit workers from relatively more labor-abundant regions. As local labor markets became increasingly in- tegrated into broader regional and national labor markets during the late nineteenth century, competitive pressures on wages and working conditions grew, and the scope for local variations in the terms of employment de- clined.1 In many industries these pressures were further compounded by technological changes that encouraged the increasingly fine division of labor and enabled employers to replace skilled craftworkers with semiskilled operatives or unskilled laborers.2 The impact of these developments on American workers was profound. Broader labor markets and technological changes expanded employment opportunities for some workers, but for others they undermined efforts to increase wages and improve working conditions.3 The increasing elasticity The Journal of Economic History, Vol.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: MARYLAND
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: MARYLAND WOMEN AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF POLITICS, 1890s-1930 Diane E. Weaver, Doctor of Philosophy, 1992 Dissertation Directed by: George H. Callcott Professor Department of History This is a study of the involvement of Maryland women in politics from the 1890s to 1930. It builds on previous studies to support an expanded conceptualization of politics. Elite white activists in the late nineteenth century, building on their concern for the home, extended their interests as wives and mothers to their interests as citizens, and both reflected and shaped the rising Progressive movement in Maryland. They formed local and then statewide organizations, and they worked to replace traditional politics with activist, efficient, and expanded government . As they brought their concerns to the public agenda, they created an increased public role for themselves, choosing at the same time to work cooperatively with male leaders . Black women activists were reformers in their communities as well, and while for the most part segregated from white women's organizations, created and participated in cooperative ventures with white women . The suffrage movement in Maryland grew out of this activism and also extended it. White suffragists differed over strategy and tactics, but they maintained unity in an agenda that combined social goals with the advancement of women. World War I offered white women activists, already part of a statewide network, the opportunity to assume a greatly expanded role in the burgeoning wartime government. During the war, black women activists expanded their influence as well, but they also expanded and their independence from white women's organizations.

  • Strikes in Canada, 1891-1950
    CANADIAN STRIKES 123 Strikes in Canada, 1891-1950 II. Methods and Sources Douglas Cruikshank and Gregory S. Kealey NOW THAT THE STRIKES AND LOCKOUTS files of the Department of Labour have been microfilmed, they are likely to be consulted more than ever by labour historians and other researchers. If these records and the statis­ tics derived from them are to be used effectively, it is important to know how they were compiled. Soon after it was founded in 1900, the Department of Labour established a procedure for systematically gathering information on Canadian labour disputes, a procedure that was to remain essentially the same throughout the period covered in this report. When the department first received news of a strike, either from the correspondents of The Labour Gazette or through the regular press, it sent strike inquiry forms to representatives of the em­ ployers and employees involved in the dispute. Initially, a single form was mailed asking for the beginning and end dates of the dispute, the "cause or object" and "result," and the number of establishments and number of male and female workers directly and indirectly involved. In 1918 the depart­ ment began sending two forms — one to be returned immediately and the other after settlement — which requested more detailed information regard­ ing the usual working day and week. The department also asked for month­ ly reports from participants in longer strikes. These questionnaires sometimes provided all of the data needed to complete the various lists and statistical series, but because they were often not returned or contained conflicting responses, the department also relied on newspaper coverage and supplemen­ tary reports from fair wage and conciliation officers, Labour Gazette cor­ respondents, Royal Canadian Mounted Police informants, and Employment Service of Canada/Unemployment Insurance Commission officials.
