not allowed to boycott







Used in furnaces for heating
Used in stoves for cooking
Powered the railroads
Powered factories
Used in power-generating stations
Anthracite operators led by
George “Divine Right” Baer





Installed by J.P. Morgan as
head of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad
Social Darwinist
Told TR there was "nothing to
negotiate"
How "Divine Right" Baer got his nickname
“The rights and interests of the
laboring man will be protected
and cared for, not by the labor
agitators, but by the Christian
men to whom God in His infinite
wisdom has given control of the
property interests of the country”
[open letter to the press during
the 1902 strike]
Workers’ demands




Eight-hour day
10% raise
Owners must recognize and bargain with
the union
What happened?






United Mine Workers president John Mitchell
calls for arbitration (a presidential commission to
settle the strike)
George “Divine Right” Baer refuses (and insults
TR)
TR leans on J.P. Morgan to make Baer accept
the commission
At the commission, Baer is disastrous



Insults TR
Gets bad press for the
owners by declaring:
“They don’t suffer;
they can’t even speak
English.” (Baer on the
miners’ situation)
Public sentiment favors the miners
The result: miners win!
The commission accepts most of the
union demands (but not union
recognition)
 TR becomes famous for the “square deal”
 Establishes the principle of presidential
intervention in important strikes and labor
struggles

Why the Anthracite Strike of 1902 matters:
previous presidents had sided with capital







Andrew Jackson in 1834 sent troops to break
strike on the construction of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal
War Department employees took over the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad during the
Civil War
Rutherford B. Hayes sent troops to break the
Great Railroad Strike of 1877
Grover Cleveland used troops to break the
Pullman Strike of 1894
Now TR was offering a “Square Deal”
to both management and labor
The "Square Deal" – Reforms increase Federal Power, ended
Laissez Faire
"Let the watchwords of all our people be the old familiar
watchwords of honesty, decency, fair-dealing, and
commonsense."... "We must treat each man on his worth and
merits as a man. We must see that each is given a square
deal, because he is entitled to no more and should receive no
less.""The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally
upon the welfare of all of us."
--New York State Fair, Syracuse September 7, 1903

Lyrics
James Oppenheim,
1912
As we go marching, marching in the beauty of the day,
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray
Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun
discloses,
For the people hear us singing:
"Bread and Roses! Bread and Roses!"

As we go marching, marching we battle too for men,
For they are women's children and we mother them again.
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes.
Hearts starve as well as bodies;
give us bread but give us roses.
As we go marching, marching we battle too for men,
For they are women's children and we mother them again.
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes.
Hearts starve as well as bodies;
give us bread but give us roses.

As we go marching, marching unnumbered woman dead
Go crying through our singing their ancient call for bread.
Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew.
Yes, it is bread we fight for, but we fight for roses too!
As we go marching, marching we bring the greater
days.
The rising of the women means the rising of the race,
No more the drudge and idler, ten that toil where one
reposes
But a sharing of life's glories:
Bread and roses! Bread and roses!

  • 4. American Socialist Party Eugene Debs      Learned from failure of 1894 Pullman Strike Formed political party, worked through elections Diverse membership, many women Wanted government ownership of big industry, vote for women, no child labor, right to strike Change will come through elections

  • 18.

Now TR was offering a “Square Deal” to both management and labor The "Square Deal" – Reforms increase Federal Power, ended Laissez Faire "Let the watchwords of all our people be the old familiar watchwords of honesty, decency, fair-dealing, and commonsense."... "We must treat each man on his worth and merits as a man. We must see that each is given a square deal, because he is entitled to no more and should receive no less.""The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally upon the welfare of all of us." --New York State Fair, Syracuse September 7, 1903

  • 34. Bread and Roses (1912) strike song Lyrics James Oppenheim, 1912
  • 35. As we go marching, marching in the beauty of the day, A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses, For the people hear us singing: "Bread and Roses! Bread and Roses!" As we go marching, marching we battle too for men, For they are women's children and we mother them again. Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes. Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread but give us roses.
  • 36. As we go marching, marching we battle too for men, For they are women's children and we mother them again. Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes. Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread but give us roses. As we go marching, marching unnumbered woman dead Go crying through our singing their ancient call for bread. Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew. Yes, it is bread we fight for, but we fight for roses too!
  • 37. As we go marching, marching we bring the greater days. The rising of the women means the rising of the race, No more the drudge and idler, ten that toil where one reposes But a sharing of life's glories: Bread and roses! Bread and roses!
