  • The Twelfth Decade
    1911-1920 The Twelfth Decade Overview The twelfth decade was one of several significant developments and events. After 82 years as a Village, Batavia became a City. Batavia came to have its first City Hall. The police department for the first time had its own building. Also for the first time, there were full-time paid firemen. The community finally had a sewer system and sewage treatment plant. The municipal water system was upgraded and a water filtration plant added. And, as was the case with other cities across the Country, Batavia felt the impact of World War I. Batavia’s population continued to grow rapidly. The number of residents reached 13,541 in 1920 (“Genesee County Information,” Richmond Memorial Library, online, accessed 3 January 2014). This was an increase of 1,928 individuals since 1910. In the view of the author, this decade may be regarded as Batavia’s “golden age.” Main Street still had most of its mansions. A large number of the major manufacturing concerns that defined Batavia were in place. The housing in the City was still mainly single-family homes. Retail activity was almost entirely in a centralized “downtown.” A trolley ran the length of Main Street and the Tonawanda Creek was a major recreational attraction that drew crowds on summer weekends. 1: Infrastructure As indicated in the last chapter, work on constructing sewers began in December of 1909. The layout resulted in all of the sewage being conveyed to a central station at the Municipal Building at 3 West Main Street. As of July in 1911, the work on the sewers was well along.

    The Masses Index 1911-1917 1 Radical Magazines ofthe Twentieth Century Series THE MASSES INDEX 1911-1917 1911-1917 By Theodore F. Watts \ Forthcoming volumes in the "Radical Magazines ofthe Twentieth Century Series:" The Liberator (1918-1924) The New Masses (Monthly, 1926-1933) The New Masses (Weekly, 1934-1948) Foreword The handful ofyears leading up to America's entry into World War I was Socialism's glorious moment in America, its high-water mark ofenergy and promise. This pregnant moment in time was the result ofdecades of ferment, indeed more than 100 years of growing agitation to curb the excesses of American capitalism, beginning with Jefferson's warnings about the deleterious effects ofurbanized culture, and proceeding through the painful dislocation ofthe emerging industrial economy, the ex- cesses ofspeculation during the Civil War, the rise ofthe robber barons, the suppression oflabor unions, the exploitation of immigrant labor, through to the exposes ofthe muckrakers. By the decade ofthe ' teens, the evils ofcapitalism were widely acknowledged, even by champions ofthe system. Socialism became capitalism's logical alternative and the rallying point for the disenchanted. It was, of course, merely a vision, largely untested. But that is exactly why the socialist movement was so formidable. The artists and writers of the Masses didn't need to defend socialism when Rockefeller's henchmen were gunning down mine workers and their families in Ludlow, Colorado. Eventually, the American socialist movement would shatter on the rocks ofthe Russian revolution, when it was finally confronted with the reality ofa socialist state, but that story comes later, after the Masses was run from the stage.

  • BY OUTRAM BANGS Andrews.' Lished an Article (Novitates Zoologicie
    59.82(5) Article XX.-THE BIRDS OF THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY'S ASIATIC ZOOLOGICAL EXPEDITION OF 1916-1917 BY OUTRAM BANGS The birds collected by Roy Chapman Andrews and Edmund Heller in Burma, Yunnan and Fokien during the course of The American Mu- seum of Natural History's Asiatic Zoological Expedition of 1916-1917, were very kindly placed in my hands for identification by Dr. Frank M. Chapman, and I now take pleasure in submitting the following annotated list. The collecting of mammals was the primary object of the expedi- tion and birds were to some extent a secondary consideration, which accounts for the short series, many of the species being represented by only a single specimen. The shortness of the series renders subspecific identification in a few instances a matter of some uncertainty. The Expedition traveled along the border of Burma and Yunnan, and in western Yunnan to the Snow Mountains, and made one trip east- ward to Yunnan Fu. An interesting detailed account of the wanderings and experience of the members of the party, with descriptions of all sta- tions at which specimens were collected, and illustrated by many photo- graphs and a sketch map of the route, has been published by Mr. Andrews.' The collection of birds made in Fokien was supplemented by a series of skins received on the spot from Rev. Harry R. Caldwell. This collection is included here with the others. I have kept the birds from Fokien apart from those of Burma and Yunnan, giving two separate lists. This has caused very little repeti- tion of names and has made no faunal confusion, which would have been the case had all been listed together.

Labor uprisings at the turn of the century are more frequently envisioned in urban slums with overcrowded sweat shops and tenements jammed with immigrant workers. Muscatine, Iowa was never so unfortunate. The small city on the bluffs of the Mississippi River was sur- rounded by the agrarian culture and economy of Iowa and Illinois. But lodged in this rural environment was a booming button industry that all but monopolized the city and the local labor force. The strike of the Muscatine button workers' union in 1911-12 is a significant example of the chaos inflicted on a rural community in the process of industrialization. The history of the strike includes the story of community dynamics as well as industrial conflict. On February 25, 1911 a majority of the forty-three fresh- water pearl button factories in Muscatine shut down produc- tion. The manufacturers claimed that the shutdown was due to overproduction. The 2,500 laid-off workers declared it was a threat against their newly organized union.
