Milliken and his uncle Frank Knowles obtained the financial backing to start a textile finishing plant in Massachusetts. Knowles and Milliken settled upon the small town of Dighton, Massachusetts for the location of their finishing operation. In June of that year the Mount Hope Finishing Company was incorporated. When Knowles died in 1909, Milliken took over the daily operations of the plant and settled into his role as treasurer, which he held until 1951. As the treasurer and leader of the company, In order to establish his control, Milliken crafted his image as a patriarchal authority figure. By the early 1920s, Milliken instituted a program of welfare capitalism at Mount Hope Finishing Company. They coined this their “constructive labor policy.” Milliken, like other large business owners during the Progressive Era, used the constructive labor policy to inhibit unionization of workers at his company. Yet, his constructive labor policy also dampened a sense of working class identity among the workers at the Mount Hope Finishing Company. Milliken also exploited the built environment of North Dighton to strengthen worker identity with the company, and not with each other. In contrast to the previous acceptance of Milliken’s paternalism, and supposed non-union sentiments among employees, some workers mounted a strike against Mount Hope in 1951.The goal was to win labor organization under the Textile Workers Union of America. The decisive factor of the strike appears to have been that the 1951 workforce at Mount Hope feared the company planned to move South, leaving them unemployed. Workers voted for union representation, and the day after the election, the company closed in North Dighton and relocated to Butner, North Carolina. That step marks Mount Hope as an example of postwar regional capital flight, further tying it to the trend of deindustrialization of New England textiles. 1 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION AND HISTORIOGRAPHY Introduction On the morning of August 21, 1951, the president and treasurer of the Mount Hope Finishing Company in North Dighton, Massachusetts, J.K. Milliken stood before a crowd of nearly 500 present and former workers of the company. The 76-year-old Milliken invited the workers to his house in North Dighton to inform them about the company’s position on the then ongoing strike. In a emotional appeal to the workers, Milliken explained that the strike affected him personally. He exclaimed, “North Dighton is my life. Here my children and grandchildren were born. North Dighton is my home. Here my roots are deeply established and here in North Dighton, God willing, I expect to die.”1 North Dighton was Milliken’s life, but also partly his creation. Fifty years earlier in June 1901, Milliken and his uncle Joseph Frank Knowles had established a cotton bleachery in the north part of Dighton. From 1901, Milliken worked to transform and develop North Dighton into a modern mill village for the benefit of his company. What follows is a case study in the practice of welfare capitalism at the Mount Hope Finishing Company in North Dighton, Massachusetts. Mount Hope was in the business of bleaching and dyeing cotton and silk textiles. North Dighton was also located on the periphery of major textile manufacturing centers in New England because spinning and weaving were larger industries. Labor historians of New England have paid much attention to centers of production such as Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, and New Bedford, in Massachusetts alone.2 It is easy to 1 “Text of Milliken Talk

  • Courts Strip Elders of Their Independence Within Minutes, Judges Send Seniors to Supervised Care
    Courts strip elders of their independence Within minutes, judges send seniors to supervised care By Jeff Kelly, Maggie Kowalski, and Candice Novak Globe Correspondents / January 13, 2008 Dawn Cromwell dares not leave her building. If she tried, a device girding her ankle would sound an alarm. For over a year, she has had to use store-bought reading glasses because her pleas for a prescription pair have gone for naught. She is given medications, but, she says, no one will tell her what they are. For 20 months now, Cromwell's life has been defined by a 10.5-by-12.5-foot living space at North End Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. In her tiny closet, there are virtually no clothes, and she has no idea what's become of the cherished possessions in the Boylston Street apartment where she lived for years. At 73, Cromwell is one of hundreds of forgotten docket numbers in Massachusetts probate and family courts, where judges routinely fast-track infirm elders into the care of guardians, often with little evidence to justify such wrenching decisions. Cromwell, after a broken ankle and a brief rehab in early 2006, had expected to go home. But on the say-so from the nursing home's doctor - a short, nearly illegible diagnosis - a judge decreed that Cromwell was mentally ill and handed all of her decision-making to a guardian. Cromwell lost all power over her own life, with no opportunity to object, no right to have a lawyer represent her, no chance to even be in the courtroom.

    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 5 No 19 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy August 2014 International press and diplomatic circumstances in Kosovo in the years 1988-1990 Dr.Sc. Isak Sherifi Albanian /Macedonia [email protected] DOI:10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n19p274 Abstract The dramatic events of 1988 and 1989 years in Kosovo, followed by strikes, protests and demonstrations in defense of the autonomy of Kosovo began with "Trepca" miner’s incarceration in seven-day strikes in the depths of the mine galleries. Students and Kosovo people continued strikes, affected agencies and the strongest international newspaper journalists to come in Kosovo and inform their readers what actually was happening in Kosovo. Events in Kosovo undertaken by internal affairs organs of the Yugoslav Federation caused numerous reactions in domestic opinion as well as in the international. CNN, BBC, France Press, DPA, Corriere della Sera, ANSA and many other mediums were giving a completely true situation in front of other official state propaganda then. These media correspondents were reporting on the continuing violence arrests and killings of Kosovo citizens by these state bodies. These were brave journalists who disseminated in public the appearance of intellectuals isolated in Kosovo that were being held in prisons without the right decision and the question of: What would happen to them if they do not come on the front pages of news in these media? As a merit of their work, Kosovo came on the front pages of all prestigious international journals which set in motion the intellectual elite of their countries and official reactions to the states.

TRAYSER PAPERS Volume: 1 linear foot Provenance: Gifts of Philip Jerauld and Robert Anthony, 1993 Restrictions: None given Processed by: Pamela Narbeth, 10/97 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES Donald Grant Trayser, 1902-1955 Donald Grant Trayser was born in New London, Wisconsin in 1902. He graduated from the journalism school at the University of Wisconsin. As a young newspaperman, he was hired by the New Bedford Standard, and assigned to the Hyannis desk to report on Cape Cod events for the New Bedford daily. For the next 30 years, Don Trayser devoted his life to Cape Cod, its past and its present. He became totally immersed in the history of the Cape and all aspects of Cape life, and became one of its most best-known personalities. He married a local girl, Annabel (Anne) Jerauld in 1930 and they lived in Hyannis for many years. In 1947 they moved to a home on Bow Lane, Barnstable, which they ran as a guest house. In 1936 Trayser became the Cape correspondent for the Boston Globe, and also became the editor of the weekly Barnstable Patriot. An avid collector of Cape Cod books and history, he wrote Barnstable, Three Centuries of a Cape Cod Town (F.B. & F.P. Goss, Hyannis: 1939) for the Barnstable tercentenary in 1939. This volume quickly became the definitive history of the town, and Trayser was recognized as the authority on Cape Cod history. When the position of clerk of the Superior Court became available in 1940, Don Trayser ran for and won the position.

  • Newspapers in the Digital Age: a Cast Study in How Public Library Patrons Read the News
    ________________________________________________________________________ Newspapers in the Digital Age: A Cast Study in How Public Library Patrons Read the News Alyssa Pacy Cambridge Public Library, Cambridge, MA USA [email protected] Copyright © 2014 by Alyssa Pacy. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Abstract A six-week print and digital newspaper use study at the Cambridge Public Library in Cambridge, Massachusetts (USA) showed that patrons continue to access both resources in large numbers. Print serves a particular demographic - generally an older group of regular patrons who read the daily newspapers; whereas digital serves another - primarily those conducting research. Higher use of certain digital titles correlates to lower barriers of access. Local news in both print and digital editions remains relevant. The study gathered data on the use of the Cambridge Chronicle, the local newspaper serving the city of Cambridge and the oldest continually published weekly in the United States, to determine the preferred method for library patrons to access the news. The Cambridge Chronicle was an ideal title to investigate because the library offers several ways to access the newspaper in both print and digital formats, and statistics can be easily gathered. The study revealed that the most popular access points are the print version and the free digital collection of the Chronicle’s historic articles. It was also determined that print editions are read on a daily or weekly basis for news, and digital versions are accessed for research (i.e., local history and genealogy).
