UMI 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 ABSTRACT The dissertation argues that the Ohio People's (Populist) party was essentially a labor party and permits new insights into the American political process. While Ohio farmers remained loyal to the traditional parties, most of the state's labor organizations — including the United Nine Workers and the central labor bodies of Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus — endorsed the People's party. Moreover, the state's leading trade unionist, John McBride, led the forces attempting to take the American Federation of Labor (AFL) into an alliance with the People's party and defeated Samuel Gompers for the presidency of the AFL in 1894. The Populist's nomination of Democratic candidate William Jennings Bryan for president in 1896 and the fusion of the two parties destroyed the coalition that Ohio trade unionists had built around the People's party. Although some of the state's unionists embraced Bryan and the free coinage of silver, most Ohio trade unionists saw the fusion as a betrayal. Instead, they joined other political parties or de-emphasized the role of politics in labor's salvation. At the national level the AFL had been roughly divided between forces led by McBride wanting to transform the Federation into a partisan organization through an alliance with the People's party and forces led by Gompers feeling that the Federation should emphasize economic action. By leaving McBride and his allies without a party, the fusion undercut the political unionists and contributed to the triumph of Gompers and pure and simple unionism. 11 The dissertation challenges the existing historiography in three ways. First, the supporters of the Ohio People's party do not fit the agrarian-centered definitions of Populism offered by Hicks, Hofstadter, and Goodwyn. Second, whereas most historians argue that organized labor rejected farmers' appeals to enter into a producer-based political alliance, in Ohio the opposite was true. Third, scholars seeking to explain the triumph of pure and simple unionism within the AFL and organized labor's acceptance of corporate capitalism have failed to look at the fusion of 1896 and the activities of trade unionists working with the People's party. Increasingly, scholars have sought to explain the rise of pure and simple unionism in hopes of understanding the conservative nature of modern American politics. They have noted that while European trade unionists were forming political parties to contest the emergence of corporate capitalism, American trade unionists rejected the primacy of political action and implicitly accepted the emergence of corporate capitalism. Without the support and legitimacy unions could have provided, American socialist parties tended to be weak and vulnerable. By offering an additional explanation of the rise of pure and simple unionism, this research understanding of modern American political life.

  • Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett
    Spring Grove Cemetery, once characterized as blending "the elegance of a park with the pensive beauty of a burial-place," is the final resting- place of forty Cincinnatians who were generals during the Civil War. Forty For the Union: Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett f the forty Civil War generals who are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, twenty-three had advanced from no military experience whatsoever to attain the highest rank in the Union Army. This remarkable feat underscores the nature of the Northern army that suppressed the rebellion of the Confed- erate states during the years 1861 to 1865. Initially, it was a force of "inspired volunteers" rather than a standing army in the European tradition. Only seven of these forty leaders were graduates of West Point: Jacob Ammen, Joshua H. Bates, Sidney Burbank, Kenner Garrard, Joseph Hooker, Alexander McCook, and Godfrey Weitzel. Four of these seven —Burbank, Garrard, Mc- Cook, and Weitzel —were in the regular army at the outbreak of the war; the other three volunteered when the war started. Only four of the forty generals had ever been in combat before: William H. Lytle, August Moor, and Joseph Hooker served in the Mexican War, and William H. Baldwin fought under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian civil war. This lack of professional soldiers did not come about by chance. When the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, its delegates, who possessed a vast knowledge of European history, were determined not to create a legal basis for a standing army. The founding fathers believed that the stand- ing armies belonging to royalty were responsible for the endless bloody wars that plagued Europe.

  • Australian Labor Party, New South Wales Branch Annual Conference, 19 April 1935
    CHAPTER 13 Australian Labor Party, New South Wales Branch Annual Conference, 19 April 1935 Report in The Sydney Morning Herald With some pride, Lang and his assistants proclaimed this as the shortest Conference ever, lasting barely one day. The excuse was that many MPs were already involved in the campaign for the State election due on 11 May. However, given some of the stormy debates of previous Con‐ ferences, the main reason was to suppress any show of dissent that would be taken up eagerly by the press. The Executive Report goes into considerable detail about the nego‐ tiations between the Federal Executive and three members of Lang’s State Executive, convened after the 1934 Federal election and anticipating the State election of May 1935. The terms of a settlement were agreed, except for one detail that was the sticking point – the acceptance back into the State party of EG Theodore. Otherwise the Lang party had made significant concessions. Sadly, negotiations were doomed as long as the two main combatants were Scullin and Lang. It would reQuire the resignation of Scullin as leader in 1935, and the electoral failure of Lang in the coming NSW election, before a deal could be done to heal that split. ξ 429 LABOR PAINS VOLUME V Executive Report of NSW ALP for 1934-35 (Mitchell Library Manuscripts, 329.3106/3) Australian Labor Party, State Of New South Wales Annual Report, 1934-1935 The Central Executive, in reviewing the work of the Movement during the period since the last Annual General Conference, wish to express their appreciation for the goodwill shown by all sections of the Movement.
