Chapter 334: Coal workers strike

The power of the trade union is not unusable, but it is necessary to kill the donkey afterwards. This is Carnegie's experience. However, for Sheffield, the coal industry has nothing to do with it. Although the coal cartel has Morgan's influence, the coal cartel itself is now in the coal field and has little control.
Naturally, Sheffield doesn't have to distort the miners' union, and these miners will have no impact on their industry. This time, for the coal cartel, the trouble is the union of capitalists and trade unions, a new threat.
"You sent a few people to follow this hump!" Sheffield was not prepared to come off the field personally. He always believed in the operation of secretly shooting guns, but only let Jesra send someone to monitor. He himself would return to New Orleans.
The slave owners are very busy. The New Orleans Expo has been approved by the Louisiana State Government and has received support from Washington. It can be said that Sheffield himself has some serious things to do now, but just find time to find trouble. This time he is going to make it a little more lively, but also to let Washington look at the pioneering role of the United Company in emerging markets.
This main function is, "If you are in trouble, Mr. President, do n’t make trouble at this time of the propaganda window, or businessmen all over the world will be able to see the country ’s internal struggle."
The ugly thinking of family ugliness, Sheffield, who has lived in the United States for many years, naturally has long understood that many human ideas are common, and there is no cultural difference between East and West. When it is time to cover the lid, it will cover the lid. When the official collaborates, there will always be official collusion.
"There seems to be a conflict in attitude between you and Rockefeller Jr. If you decide to make trouble from the case law, if Roosevelt first cleaned up the trusts influenced by Morgan, and then started the Rockefeller family, according to the previous case law, the result of the judgment It will be unfavorable. "Sheffield came back, and naturally did not hide the causes and consequences of several women. Anne was confused after listening to it. It sounded like there was no way.
"Annie, William's attitude change in this matter, there is only one explanation!" Natalia's eyes rolled, and she said with a bright look, "He is too greedy and wants to achieve two almost opposite ends. To weaken Morgan's power and want to successfully fight against the authority of the president, but this almost has to take an opposing position, a group of watching Morgan is weakened, then from the case law, almost the Rockefeller family will also be weakened, want to fight against the president's The authority must defeat the antitrust law in the Supreme Court from the beginning, so that the trust close to Morgan will not be weakened. After all, my dear is too greedy and wants anything. "
Sheffield's face was filled with embarrassment, and finally reluctantly admitted, "Yes, that is essentially the case."
Want to look at Morgan's disgraced face again, and want to let the antitrust law sweep the ground and fight against success! The slave master's head was full of me, so there were two different expressions.
"But it is not entirely impossible to succeed. Strictly speaking, coal cartel is not a trust company. The difference is still very obvious. Large companies have a large team of lawyers. If the federal government uses anti-trust laws to deal with coal cartel, this is almost It ’s slandering, and it ’s the best opportunity for many companies, so I judged that Roosevelt would not make this low-level mistake!
Sheffield said with a cold face,
So even if it is relative to coal cartel, it will not It's a matter of trust. "
If Roosevelt used the antitrust method against the cartel alliance, this gave the opponent a chance. To do this kind of thing as a president, it is simple to understand the law, and it is awkward to say that this is trampling on the dignity of the law. Whether President Roosevelt can sit still is unknown.
"That's it!" Anne and Natalia nodded in unison, the frequency was surprisingly consistent.
"That's it!" Sheffield's affirmative statement, according to different groups of people naturally have different considerations, ordinary workers consider salary increase and treatment increase, he hopes that salary will never increase, and the lower the better. In essence, the two ideas are in conflict, which is different from the perspective of the problem.
Looking at the different angles of the problem will produce different results. Taking history as an example, the Qing Dynasty is still alive. Even though official and private evaluations have opposite trends, official evaluations in later generations should not be low. This is a bit humble. It can be said that the evaluation of Daqing is very high. But the folks don't think so. After all, the major ethnic groups of the vast majority of the population find it difficult to accept this dynasty.
Now that Sheffield is a citizen of the United States, it can be said that there is no need to worry about this issue. It has nothing to do with the great American century, but once there are United States scholars who specialize in the history of East Asia, it is estimated that their judgment is similar to the official attitude of the Republic. The territory and population of Qing Dynasty can be quantified.
As to whether most people can accept it, the official attitude of the Republic can ignore this controversy, and the United States will not take care of the national sentiments of foreigners to pick good words.
"The company and some connections in Paris, can you invite them over?" Sheffield put Annie up on her lap and greasyly asked for help. A mouth moved closer and closer to her clean face, which caused Anne's Avoid, "Just find your father, how could I have a wider network than your father."
"Let's talk again!" Sheffield lost interest all at once. If he really gave the matter to the old man, he doubted that his venue for hosting the Expo would become a place for the old man to pick up girls. Isn't this nonsense, it's obviously the place where I'm picking girls, the original intention is to be happy for Annie.
Sheffield started in New Orleans and began to contact foreign companies that had business dealings with the United Company, mainly Germany. Of course, he did not forget Ottoman in human resources trade. As for some Latin American businessmen, they were also invited. Then let Rockefeller Jr. contact some partner companies that have business dealings to make this Expo even more lively.
All kinds of invitations no matter who the other party is, will it appear in the end? Anyway, Sheffield issued it, and even Japan has not fallen, and invited the widow of Sato Yukio to visit.
The coal cartels were in trouble when the heroes of the thirteen southern states issued a hero post. In fact, this kind of cartel is just a platform to stabilize prices. Of course, coal cartel is more exceptional and more cohesive than other cartels, but it is indeed an open organization and there is no illegal behavior on the surface.
Although there have been mistakes on the issue of the Miners ’Union, they still firmly control the anthracite market. However, these companies did not expect that John Mitchell's aggressive attack, in the name of the Union of Miners, would provoke the strike that had just cooled down, which gave Jess already a shareholder of the company.
The most proud of these coal cartel companies is the continuous disintegration of coal workers ’efforts to organize trade unions. John Mitchell ’s home visit is undoubtedly provocative in their eyes.
Although some individual anthracite operators made their fortunes in the anthracite coal mining area and became rich, for decades, the majority of anthracite production in the United States was still controlled by the coal cartel and a few other railway companies. Because anthracite is controlled by the cartel and triggers endless labor struggles, even though anthracite production is actually controlled by the railway companies of Morgan ’s financiers who take turns in the east, in people ’s minds, coal ’s dominance And coal giants are still long-lasting.
The emergence of John Mitchell broke the people ’s inherent impression. With the help of the experienced team of bituminous coal workers to fight, John Mitchell, who reached the anthracite coal mine, organized more than 10,000 people in just half a month. The large-scale strike has caught the coal cartel, who has always thought that it has solved the problem, by surprise.
As the controller of the current coal cartel, Jess, while telling Morgan of the current difficulties, expressed a tough attitude and wanted to replicate the story of the victory of the coal cartel led by Gao En 20 years ago.
However, the long-term suppression eventually turned out to be an avalanche. The strike organized by John Mitchell caused the response of more than 100,000 anthracite workers within a few days. It can be said that the speed of development has far exceeded everyone. Expected.
Morgan in New York was full of surprises, and Sheffield in New Orleans was equally calm. After thinking for a while, he told the housekeeper, "Go to the bituminous coal area to explore. Are those coal mines producing as usual?"
Soon the housekeeper brought back positive news, leaving Sheffield to stay in place for a long time, and Natalia asked, "What's there to worry about."
"The leader of this coalition of miners is very powerful. He can win this confrontation!" Sheffield said softly. "In the beginning, I was just looking for someone to try the power of coal cartels. I didn't expect that the person I was looking for was a lion. Anthracite coal actually It ’s pretty publicity. In fact, the production capacity of bituminous coal is far greater than that of anthracite. The use of information by coal cartel is not equal, and the help of Morgan has always controlled the coal market. Now there is a strike in anthracite coal mines. The market will be replaced by bituminous coal. The production of bituminous coal mines has not stopped, but due to the cessation of anthracite production, the country's coal use has shifted from anthracite to bituminous coal. "
"Once this transformation is completed, the coal cartel will be dead! A little union leader, can he even do such a thing?" Natalia, after hearing her heart, couldn't help but fear for a while, worrying, "Thanks not for targeting you."
