Description

The Pullman Strike of 1894 threatened an entire nation with social and economic upheaval.

Describing both its immediate results in business and its far-reaching effects on trade unionism, the author treats the dramatic story of the strike no as an isolated conflict, but as a culminating explosion in labor-capital relations.

Woven into the narrative is the rise and decline of the extraordinary Pullman experiment.

To all outward appearances a philanthropic project conceived by a generous employer for his employees, the model town of George Pullman developed into a kind of medieval barony, operated with an iron hand.

This experiment is carefully traced in all its varying aspects, with emphasis on its contribution to the origin of the strike.
