The Machinists' Strike Settlement

The Machinists' Union has justified it's
title of The Fighting Organization in the settlement
secured from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
which terminates struggle lasting than and
half years.
Many Of the best informed Labor leaders looked upon
the fight hopeless at the beginning, and General Man
ager G. L. Potter, Of the B. O. practically forced the
strike upon the Machnists by compelling unbearabe
ditions and daring OConnel to call strike. Potter de-
pended upon the bad economic conditions to keep the
from striking, and badly disappointed man when
they walked out with such enthusiasm and such deter
nation AS the strike dragged into months and the
cost to the company continually mounted higher Potter
sought to his mistakes by the usual method Of
making black Sleeps of his subordinates and the epidemic
Of head choppng began This continued until the fnan
cal powers behind the B. O. railroad ended itlal by
handing out the dose to Potter himself and to his
nephew Superintendent of Motive Power Harris. Then
the management talked to the striking machin
lists and ended the strike by withdrawing the unreasonable
orders of Potter reinstatng the and granting per
cent increase.
OF course this cost the Machnists Union $25oOoo in
strike benefits and 900 donated by various
sublodges making total of $4,000 But cost the Bal
tmore and Ohio railroad company $1O0OOOOOl

From 1924 to 1912 the unions had
been swayed by many kinds Of politi-
cal and economic ideals. They had
passed through a period of hysteria
which left. them comparatively weak
and non-effective. But at the end OF
this period they had settled down to
the realities. They had been disillus-
toned as to the matter of social revolu-
ton. They began a acmpaign of educa-
ton among the rank and file of their
Strikes were less frequent and the
more sensational prosecution OF the
leaders of labor was almost abandon
ed. The leaders. themselves, were bet
ter educated in the principles of trades
unionism. A propaganda movement
was inaugurated and there were many
paid organizers. especially among the
miners in Great Britain and Ireland.
The elading feature of the trades
union movement during this period
was a strong resistance to legal op-
preston. The earlier trades unions
consisted of completely separated or
loosely combined local clubs, each
exercising a large measure Of indivi-
dual freedom and controlling its own
funds and acting on its own initiative
and in it's own behalf. The Amalga-
mated Society of Engineers, one Of
the strongest unions in Great Britain,
made an advance beyond this print
tive form of organization. It was not
only built upon national lines, but
authority was vested in the central
governing body which alone had the
power to call strikes. Its financial
system was also thoroughly worked
out through series of benefit funds,
for protection against old
age, death, sickness and accidents.
1t was not long before the other great
trades unions were organized upon the
same basis until today there exists in
the trades unions in England, power
full social and benevolent spirit.
, A historic incident in the develop
ment of trades unionism is what is /.
known as the Taff-vale decision. In
August. 1900, the Amalgamated Soc
iety of Railway Servants engaged in
a strike against the Taff-vale Railway
Co. This strike did not differ form
many other strikes, but the General
Manager of the Taff-Vale Company
determined to fight it out in the courts.
The trades union was charged with
and intimiadting worlmen
to break their contracts with the rail-
way and aiding and abetting acts of
violence which together injured the
railway company. The amount Of
damages asked were $111,5OO. The
corporation won its suit, but the Court
of Appeals unanimously reversed the
decision Of Justice Farwell. The COM
pany then appealed to the House Of
Lords, and the latter held that the
members Of the association. individual
