  • The Career of James /. T)Avis

    The Career of James /. T)Avis

    The Career of James /. T)avis HE depression of the 1890*3 weakened the faith of many Americans in the ability of the nation's economic system to Tfulfill its promises of prosperity and abundance, but James J. Davis emerged from the harrowing decade with a renewed commit- ment to capitalism and individualism. It was not that the young iron puddler did not experience deprivation and hardship, for the coming of the depression threw him out of work and forced him to ride the rails from Pennsylvania and Ohio to Alabama and Louisiana. He met hungry and desperate men and with them cadged meals from trackside families. He witnessed the grinding poverty of rural blacks and saw at first hand how employers used the business down- turn to slash wages. Yet, while other Americans interpreted similar experiences as a call for reform or as a summons to revolution, Davis saw them as a warning against extremism and self-pity. To him, the lesson of adversity was clear: the American way still offered bright promise, provided that the individual cultivate qualities of comradeship and charity. During a long career as fraternal order leader and businessman, Davis' emphasis on homey virtues and personal good fellowship stood him in good stead. The perspective first gained during the adversity of the nineties and validated in his private career remained with him through his twenty-four years as United States Secretary of Labor and Senator from Pennsylvania. It earned for him the reputation of a cheerful conciliator which pro- vided much of his political appeal.

    CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present

    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate.
