Chapter 335: Roosevelt good offices

"Yeah, fortunately it's not against me!" Sheffield scratched her scalp and grinned to herself, as if stunned.
This look surprised Natalia. She had never seen him show a little fear since she knew this slave owner, but now she can see clearly, the emotion flashed in Sheffield's eyes, It ’s fear, never wrong, softly calling, "William, you ..."
"I'm scared!" Sheffield stared straight at the air in front of her, shook her head hard and squeezed out a smile, and laughed at herself, "Unexpectedly, I also have something to fear, I'm not even afraid of Dupont Union I ’m not afraid of Morgan and Rockefeller, who are richer than me. I ’m not even afraid of the president, but I ’m afraid of these workers. I ’m afraid they will gather together, they ’re afraid to say something I do n’t know, they just sit together Chatting can scare me. You have also seen this time that once these workers find a way, they will be able to shut down the hegemony of the coal industry for decades, not to mention Jess, even Morgan must also this time. Promise the conditions of these workers. "
Because of the existence of coal cartels, no decent trade union in the coal field has survived a year in more than two decades. This repressive force has never appeared in railways, steel or other fields. Even most people believe that the control of giants in the coal industry will exist for a long time, which also shows from the side that most people generally recognize the power of coal cartels.
But it is the coal cartel that has prevented miners' unions from going for more than two decades. This time, they encountered a crisis that was deadly enough.
How could this make Sheffield not afraid that the Soviet Union was founded and how many noble monks fell to the ground. A country like the Soviet Union admires in its heart, but it is best to happen in other countries. What if such signs appear in the United States? It was really disturbing to sleep.
"Come out and relax with me, go to the car production line!" Sheffield, with a blank head, took Natalia's hand directly to get up. Now she can go anywhere, just let the cranky head crash.
It wasn't until she got into the car and was already on her way to the car factory that she regained her sobriety a little bit, and she regained a little reason, biting her ear to Natalia in a low voice, "Don't tell me what I just said. "
The labor movement is an unquestionable nightmare for any monopoly capitalist. This is a fact. But few capitalists admit it, and Sheffield is unwilling to admit it.
Ford's production line, the workers are still so busy, doing their work in an orderly manner, and they have not expressed special concern for the young men and women who accompanied the factory manager.
The plant manager of this production line wanted the workers to notice the arrival of the boss, and just wanted to pay for it, she was stopped by Sheffield, "They are working hard for their lives, don't disturb them, it's fine now."
At lunch time, the production line workers took turns to the canteen to prepare meals. Each worker received his own food at the window with his badge. Gutted to fill his stomach, and then went to work. what? You said that working immediately after eating is bad for your health? That's right, but what does it do to the workers' health and the factory? The worker was sick or what happened, the boss happened to kick them out of the factory with a direct kick, and then went to recruit a guy with probationary salary to come in and replace him.
The food of the United Automobile Company is still very good. As a comprehensive food and beverage company started from agriculture and animal husbandry, if it can not provide basic food needs, it is very shameful. During the Chinese New Year, the United Company can also bring a batch of old goods from the canned trust to give benefits to the workers. It does n’t matter if you do n’t like canned food. After the introduction of the filter cigarettes, the previously extruded filter-less cigarettes also have old goods. , Can satisfy simple men happy.
In general, although the exploitation is very strong, in terms of Xiao En Xiao Hui, the slave owner is still in place. There should be no strike from the coal cartel ... right?
"Three months later, the New Orleans will host the Expo, and the workers in the factory will also be on holiday, and they will send a ticket to visit the Expo to let them know that the American century is made by them. Do n’t tell them I ’ve been here!"
Sheffield called the factory manager before leaving, and instructed with an inexplicable look that he didn't know why he did it.
"Isn't there a bit of energy? I'm terrified today." Natalia just leaned on Sheffield and coquettishly said, "A strike stimulated you?"
"I will never use any trade unions in the future. These workers are too dangerous. They will catch fire! They are my biggest enemies." Sheffield sighed with gloom, he even thought he was smarter than Carnegie. Now he looks at coal The situation of the cartel is simply too inflated, and I think that the workers' movement can be controlled, which is different from death.
What an important field coal is, and it has just entered the twentieth century. Although the oil industry is booming, it has not replaced coal. From the automotive field, many steam cars are still improving in Europe. Transcending the importance, oil will take another twenty years.
For the United States, coal also involves the safety of the country. Once the supply of coal is in short supply, how will this country suffer? Therefore, the strike led by John Mitchell can be said to affect society very soon, saying that it is not an exaggeration to create an energy crisis.
I thought that I was a very clever slave owner. I thought Morgan could be disgusted in the past, but things really happened. It was n’t just Morgan. The impact caused Sheffield to regret his pat on the head.
Annie once persuaded Sheffield not to involve too many industries, he never took it for granted. Now for the first time, he carefully inspected the industry in his hands and estimated whether there would be any holes in it. Things that were not done by the people around them were successfully handled by the coal workers gathered together.
However, although he regretted helping John Mitchell, since she had agreed, Sheffield still did the thing. The temporary retreat will only let others see that the slave owner ’s fierce enthusiasm can only support the end with a scalp.
The newspapers under it still report the strike of coal workers led by John Mitchell in a positive image. The newspapers belonged to him belong to Principe and individual newspapers. The public, the press and the political circles have not condemned the strikers. It was generally sympathetic to them, which was won by the miners ’just strike and Mitchell ’s non-military struggle.
The one-sided support of public opinion is just like Sheffield was criticized by the side, Hirst was accused of being one-sided, but this time it was in the depths of the fire, it was the major coal companies in the cartel alliance.
When John Mitchell also organized a strike, he also indicated that he did not want a revolution, but could accept arbitration and obtain the rights and interests that workers should have. The union leaders indicated that they could accept arbitration, not revolution. This statement made many people put their hearts in their stomachs, including Sheffield.
In the first half of the beginning, he was really afraid that such a large-scale strike would evolve into a revolution. After all, involving such a large group, historical reference is almost useless. As long as there is something wrong, the strike will evolve into another direction. The leader of the miner simply kept a clear head.
"After this strike, if I can, I want to be friends with these humps. If he doesn't want to, wait until the calm is calm and find a way to get rid of him." Sheffield also saw John Mitchell's strike in the newspaper. To state that, as long as the revolution is not all good, union leaders cannot be friends with capitalists, of course it is possible.
Aren't all the forces that have evolved from the Second International in Europe also friends of capitalists, as long as they can talk about it, they can be disintegrated, for fear that the Soviet Union will not want to talk about it at first.
John Mitchell, as long as he learns from those Engels believers in Europe, can become a guest of the United Company. This is nothing, as long as there is no revolution, everything can be discussed.
"I have several subordinates who have been by his side. When the strike is over, I will convey the meaning of the boss to him." Jesra was still the attitude of the wooden man, and carried out the boss's orders carefully.
As the coal workers' strike continues, influence has begun to spread in other areas. Coal and steel are closely related, and steel is an important raw material for many industries. So why the energy crisis is terrible is the reason. In this era, energy is still dominated by coal. A quarter of coal production capacity in the United States is affected. It takes time for bituminous coal to fill the market, and once the filling is completed, companies in the coal cartel will collapse.
No matter what kind of consequences, there will be many people affected by this confrontation between the union and the cartel. The strike has been going on for a month. President Roosevelt, who has been paying attention to the strike, couldn't help but announced that he was willing to mediate the conflict between the coal workers and the coal miners and end the strike as soon as possible.
President Theodore Roosevelt then invited Mitchell to the White House, and Jess sent a representative coal cartel from Bell to discuss a solution.
Roosevelt invited both parties to the White House, which attracted everyone's attention. For Rockefeller Jr. and Sheffield, both wanted to see what the president's attitude was. Once they showed a tough attitude, both of them also knew Too.
