  • The Fire Last Time Worker Safety Laws After the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire
    The Fire Last Time Worker Safety Laws after the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire By Peter Dreier and Donald Cohen century ago, on March 25, 1911, 146 garment workers, most of them Jewish and Italian immigrant girls in their A teens and twenties, perished after a fire broke out at the Triangle Waist Company in New York City’s Greenwich Village. Even after the fire, the city’s businesses continued to insist they could regulate themselves, but the deaths clearly demonstrated that companies like Triangle, if left to their own devices, would not concern themselves with their workers’ safety. Despite this business opposition, the public’s response to the fire and to the 146 deaths led to landmark state regulations. 100 years after the Triangle fire, we still hear much banking, and telecommunication providers—asking of the same anti-regulation rhetoric that was popular them to identify “burdensome government regula - among business groups whenever reformers sought to tions” that they want eliminated. use government to get businesses to act more respon - The business groups responded with a long wish sibly and protect consumers, workers, and the envi - list, including rules to control “combustible dust” 30 ronment.

Milkis, University of Virginia New Brunswick, NJ May, 2008 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Hidden Prince: Governors, Executive Power and the Rise of the Modern Presidency by SALADIN M. AMBAR Dissertation Director: Daniel J. Tichenor Before 1876, no American president had been elected directly from a statehouse. By 1932 five had, and a would-be sixth, Theodore Roosevelt, came to the office through a line of succession made possible by his successful tenure as Albany’s executive. While the modern presidency is increasingly recognized as owing its origins to the administrations of Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, an essential common denominator of the two has largely been ignored. The examples of Roosevelt and Wilson –and their progeny –as state executives, have been disconnected from the larger story of how moderns reconceived the office of President. Moreover, the American governorship’s contributions as an institution that helped redefine newly emerging Progressive Era notions of executive power, has been understudied, and in the main, undervalued. When considering the presidency’s shift toward legislative and party leadership, and the changed communicative avenues traversed by modern presidents, it is of great value to first see these phenomena altered by executives at the state level.

  • The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire; Tragedy, Triumph and Its Legacy of Labor Laws Evangeline Joyce Junior Division Historical
    The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire; Tragedy, Triumph and its Legacy of Labor Laws Evangeline Joyce Junior Division Historical Paper Paper Length: 2496 Oppression and corruption in the workplace were at their height during the early 1900s, leading to perilous conditions and setting factories on a path bound for disaster. On March 25, 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City caught fire, tragically killing one hundred forty-six workers and becoming the deadliest industrial disaster in New York City history.1 The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire led to a triumph for American workers resulting in improvements to workers’ rights and fire safety and impacting the modern United States.2 The years preceding 1911 welcomed an influx of European immigrants to the United ​ ​ States. As many as 10,000 people passed through Ellis Island every day during the peak of immigration between 1900 and 1914.3 The majority of these immigrants traveled from Italy, Poland, and Russia; areas where persecution ran rampant, driving thousands of citizens out of their homelands.4 This sudden population influx caused an increased need for employment opportunities. However, many of the immigrants were unmarried women skilled only in sewing, thus creating high demand and fierce competition for the limited spots in the workplace.5 Simultaneously, a new vision of the modern woman was sweeping the nation: fashion being reimagined daily. Among the styles highest in demand was the shirtwaist: a long-sleeved, high-collared blouse.6 The shirtwaist represented women’s new independence and equality in society.7 Interest in the shirtwaist inspired over 450 shirtwaist factories in New York alone.8 1 “THE TRIANGLE SHIRTWAIST FACTORY FIRE.” Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 25 Mar.
