Officers and men of the regiment have resumed their civilian pur- suits and some of them have wandered far afield since they were dis- charged from the army, so far indeed that letters and telegrams are unanswered. The Regimental History, which would have been of great assistance, has not been found. Such officers and men as I have been able to get in touch with have been most kind and helpful, and whatever value the book has is due to them. I am fully aware that the narrative given here does not do jus- tice to the fine regiment with which it deals, but no book could do that. The great bravery of these men, the grim persistence, the for- titude in the face of great odds, have made for them a fame which should live forever. My poor words cannot add to their glory. All I can hope to do is briefly to tell their story and off'er a book which will preserve the pictures of these gallant men in the uniforms they wore with so much honor on the fields of France.

This impression came down from the days when we Missourians, out of the goodness of our hearts, used to go over into Kansas and help them hold their elections. Even before Kansas was a state, Missourians were trying to lead them onward and upward to better things. We took them by the hand, led them to the ballot box, showed them how to vote, told them which way to vote, voted ourselves to give them the benefit of our example. Often we voted for them when they were backward or timorous. Did they appreciate it? They did not. They called us many thing-s that were not pleasant to listen to. We called them things which sounded even worse. Twenty yeare ago the boys in any respectable Missouri school had a bitter contempt for Kansas and its people. In my own family there was an uncle who moved to Kansas and bought a farm. We spoke in low tones of him in the family circle afterward. Now all that feeling has passed away. The prejudice and in- tolerance of Civil War days are forgotten. The only rivalry is in the tilt yards of trade, and the only bitterness is upon the foot-ball field. The last vestige of this old rancor was swept away by regiments such as the 139th Infantry of the United States Army. This regi- ment was made up of the 4th Missouri Infantry and the 3rd Kansas Infantry, two National Guard outfits of enduring fame. They were united soon after they were called to the colors, they were trained as one unit. By the time they were sent to France, all state lines had been lost. In France thev worked and learned and trained 11 A COMPANY and fought as one man. The 139th fnfantry came out of the Argonne with its bloody head held high in air. No prouder outfit ever stepped than the ragged band which trailed back to Somaisne with the guns roaring behind it and the relieving troops holding the position the regiment had conquered in the valley of the Aire. To start this story properly and to give the reader an accurate conception of the men and traditions that made this regiment, it is best to look over the records of the two regiments which were joined to make the One Hundred Thirty-ninth. The first 3rd Kansas \'olunteers were recruited by Senator James H. Lane in the summer of 1861. It was an infantry regiment with calvary and artillery companies. Certain companies of this 3rd Regiment were on active duty from 1861 to 1864. In October, 1864, General Sterling Price of the Confederate Army crossed the Kan.sas border from Missouri, and threatened to raid the state. Nearly all of the 3rd Regiment including the Battery and Com- panies O and P took part in the opposition to General Price. In 1884 there was a 3rd Kansas National Guard Regiment, and it existed until the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in 1898. After the vSpanish-American War, plans for re-organization of the National Guard provided for only two regiments of infantry, and so from 1898 until 1917 there was no 3rd Kansas Infantry of the National Guard. As soon as permission was given by the Federal Government in 1917, Brigadier General Charles I. Martin commenced the organization of a unit to be known as the 3rd Kansas Infantry. liiliiliiliiiiiiiiiiiiliilliilliliiilliiiiilliiiliiiiiiilililili 12 ijiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii^ A COMPANY The 1st Kansas Infantry was, generally speaking, in the east- ern part of the state, and the 2nd Kansas Infantry was in the western part, but both were pretty well scattered. The 3rd Regi- ment was raised without regard to geography, and came from that territory which would be covered by a triangle drawn from Leaven- worth to Downs to Eldorado. The conditions under which the regiment was raised made it possible to assign to companies officers who came from towns other than those in which the companies were raised. General Martin him- self selected the officers of the regiment, and it had an excellent per- sonnel. The new regiment was without equipment other than that sup- plied by the local committee. It was called into Federal service Au- gust 5, 1917 and was sent to Doniphan on September 26, 1917. H Company did not go to Doniphan on that date as it was quarantined because of sickness among the men. The affairs of the regiment were administered from Topeka from August 5. to September 26. The men of this new 3rd Infantry Regiment of the Kansas National Guard were not the descendants of the old 3rd Kansas regiments, and there were no traditions to connect the new regiment with the old ones, but they were husky young Kansans of the same breed and from the same land that the men of the other 3rd Kansas regiments had been. The 4th Missouri Infantry was organized March i, 1891. It was composed of seven companies and Colonel J- A. Arbuthnot was 13 : ^ • ,.!;^e:«v-«^-#~ -w -# «» -life A r - -4 ^.* i i * -i^V ;^f^.l^ib— A COMPANY its first commander. It was located generally in the northern part of the state, and many towns have been represented in its organization. The forming and nnistering-out of companies have gone on steadily since that time. Concerning the early life of the regiment Col. William E. String- fellow says "In those days, there was no state appropriation for the main- tenance of the companies. Equipment was issued. The companies had to be maintained by the officers and men. Some small amount in dues was paid by each member and the officers had to dig up to supply the deficiencies. We held our annual encampments much in the manner that a street carnival is held. We approached the various towns in north and northwest Missouri of suitable size to be inter- ested, and saw what they would allow us in the way of camping- grounds, wood and water, and anything else we might get, including a percentage of the receipts of a sham battlq, which usually was given as the principal means of obtaining any ready cash.

    © Copyright 2015 Alexander James Morrow i Laboring for the Day: The Pacific Coast and the Casual Labor Economy, 1919-1933 Alexander James Morrow A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: James N. Gregory, Chair Moon-Ho Jung Ileana Rodriguez Silva Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of History ii University of Washington Abstract Laboring for the Day: The Pacific Coast and the Casual Labor Economy, 1919-1933 Alexander James Morrow Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor James Gregory Department of History This dissertation explores the economic and cultural (re)definition of labor and laborers. It traces the growing reliance upon contingent work as the foundation for industrial capitalism along the Pacific Coast; the shaping of urban space according to the demands of workers and capital; the formation of a working class subject through the discourse and social practices of both laborers and intellectuals; and workers’ struggles to improve their circumstances in the face of coercive and onerous conditions. Woven together, these strands reveal the consequences of a regional economy built upon contingent and migratory forms of labor. This workforce was hardly new to the American West, but the Pacific Coast’s reliance upon contingent labor reached its apogee after World War I, drawing hundreds of thousands of young men through far flung circuits of migration that stretched across the Pacific and into Latin America, transforming its largest urban centers and working class demography in the process. The presence of this substantial workforce (itinerant, unattached, and racially heterogeneous) was out step with the expectations of the modern American worker (stable, married, and white), and became the warrant for social investigators, employers, the state, and other workers to sharpen the lines of solidarity and exclusion.

  • The Industrial Workers of the World in the Seattle General Strike - Colin M
    The Industrial Workers of the World in the Seattle general strike - Colin M. Anderson An attempt to find out the IWW's actual involvement in the Seattle General Strike of 1919, which has been hampered by myths caused by the capitalist press and AFL union leaders of the time. The Seattle General Strike is an event very important in the history of the Pacific Northwest. On February 6, 1919 Seattle workers became the first workers in United States history to participate in an official general strike. Many people know little, if anything, about the strike, however. Perhaps the momentousness of the event is lost in the fact that the strike took place without violence, or perhaps it is because there was no apparent visible change in the city following the event. But the strike is a landmark for the U.S. labor movement, and is very important, if for no there reason, for what it stands for. Workers expressed their power through a massive action of solidarity, and demonstrated to the nation the potential power of organized labor. This was at a time when labor was generally divided over ideological lines that prevented them from achieving such mass action very often. For many at the time, however, the strike represented something else: something more sinister and extreme. To many of the locals in Seattle the strike was the beginning of an attempted revolution by the Industrial Workers of the World and others with similar radical tendencies. These people saw the putting down of the strike was the triumph of patriotism in the face of radicalism gone too far.

  • Legacy, Memory, and the Seattle General Strike Of
    “I’VE TRIED SO HARD TO MAKE GOOD AMERICANS OUT OF YOU”: LEGACY, MEMORY, AND THE SEATTLE GENERAL STRIKE OF 1919 by KATHRYN GREY AMMON Submitted to the Department of History of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for departmental honors Approved by: ________________ Dr. Jonathan Hagel Thesis Adviser ________________ Dr. David Farber Committee Member ________________ Dr. David Roediger Committee Member _________________________ Date Defended Abstract: This historical project explores competing legacies and formation of memory within the Seattle General Strike of 1919 both in its after effects on the Seattle Labor Movement and the nation as a whole through the First Red Scare. This paper is divided into three chapters, an examination of the strike, national and local media coverage of the strike, and an examination of national and local repercussions from the strike. The Seattle General Strike of 1919 existed within an intersection of many disparate movements—and truly has been memorialized as more than the sum of its parts. The Seattle General Strike has not been evaluated within the context of differing pro-capitalist and pro-worker solidarity viewpoints and how these two stories split, which this thesis will do. 1 Introduction It was ten in the morning of February 6, 1919 when the church bells in Seattle, Washington rang out their usual chimes. Several schoolchildren, likely as young as nine years old stood up, quietly packed their bags, and walked out of their school room. As they walked out the double doors of the school, one teacher yelled after them. “There you go,” said the teacher, “to join those Bolsheviki, when I’ve tried so hard to make good Americans out of you.”1 These children were not just school pupils—they were workers with a union job, specifically, they were members of the newsboys’ union.
