Activity: Observe the following photographs and identify the different impacts industrialization on labor. While viewing each photograph think about the following:
Who is doing the work? What are the hazards? What type of work are they doing? Would they
need training? (skilled vs. unskilled) Think about these questions when you are
looking at the pictures! What was it like to live during this time period?

Tenement- House Slums- very crowded housing for workers and families during industrialization. Cities were covered with this kind of housing!

Haymarket Square Chicago 1886 CAUSES= workers from McCormick Harvesting Machine
Company struck for an 8 hour day (They wanted a reduction in the amount of hours they worked in a given day). However, the Knights of Labor (union) did not support their actions.
= police came - four strikers killed and several wounded.
= next day at a rally in Haymarket Square- anarchists spoke up against police & treatment of workers.
= Thousands protest the killings and during the rally the police break up the meeting - someone threw a bomb at police - 7 police die. In response the police spray the crowd with bullets and 10 more workers die with another 50 injured.
Effect/Result: Anti-Labor feelings sweep the nation and membership in the Knights of Labor Union fell drastically!

THE GREAT RAILROAD STRIKE OF 1877
CAUSES The great Railroad
Strike of 1877 began on July 16, when railroad workers for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad staged a spontaneous strike after yet another wage cut. After President Rutherford Hayes sent federal troops to West Virginia to save the nation from “insurrection,” the strike spread across the nation.
RESULTSA picture of burned railroad cars during the mass strike.

Pullman Strike:
►National Guard fires on Pullman strikers, from Harper's Weekly (1894)
CAUSES: Owner George Pullman, who hoped to prevent labor discontent, but he was not willing to grant high wages. Pullman housed his workers in a company town. Instead of living in tenements like other industrial workers of the day, Pullman workers lived in attractive company-owned houses, with indoor plumbing, gas, and sewers.However, workers for Pullman lived in a "company town" where everything was owned by the corporation, including their housing and local store. The Pullman Company controlled every aspect of their lives, and practiced "debt slavery" Money owed was automatically deducted from workers' paychecks and frequently workers would never see their earnings at all. The workers children were responsible for the debt if the parents didn’t pay it off.

Pullman Strike continued:RESULTS► During the major economic downturn of the early 1890s,
George Pullman cut wages without reducing the workers’ rent and other expenses. Discontented workers decided to stage a strike.
► The strike effectively shut down production in the Pullman factories and led to a lockout.
► The strike was eventually broken up by 12,000 U.S Army troops
► President Grover Cleveland ordered the troops be sent in on the basis that the strike interfered with the delivery of U.S. Mail.
► Federal Judge in Chicago issued an injunction against the strikers ordering them to stop striking.
► By the end of the strike 13 strikers were killed and 57 were wounded. An estimated $80 million worth of property was damaged

CAUSES: Homestead Steel Strike: Workers went on strike for higher wages. Management refused to negotiate and locked out the workers, however the workers broke in and took control of
the mill. Management hired the Pinkerton Police, which is a private security force, to take control back. 300 Pinkertons
arrived by barge and were greeted by the workers. For 12 hours a battle ensued. The end result was the Pinkertons surrendered.
![Page 45: Labor and Unions During Industrialization](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56812a5d550346895d8dc975/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
RESULTS: Carnegie then requested help from the Pennsylvania National Guard to restore control over the strikers after the Pinkertons had failed. Carnegie replaced 1700 strikers with new workers called strike
breakers (scabs).

Evaluation: (Giving your point of view on something and providing reasons why you
think that way!)
EQ: What was the role of labor unions in trying to solve the problems of workers during industrialization and give your
point of view of the helpfulness of unions during industrialization in making
changes for workers?
