Chapter 336: Morgan is also bottoming out

Although they are far apart, Sheffield and Rockefeller Jr. are also communicating about this matter. In fact, Roosevelt, as the president, personally paid attention to a strike, and has been able to prove many things.
"Roosevelt put the meeting place of the two parties in the White House and mediated himself. This is an attitude, which shows that our President does not want things to expand." Sheffield said while thinking to the little Rockefeller on the other side of the phone. "I think this The matter will not last long, it can be resolved immediately. "
"Do you think that the union leader will compromise?" Rockefeller Jr. pondered for a while and heard the sound of the microphone coming out. "It's not the Miners' Union that compromised, but Jess, Bell, and even Morgan." A few years ago, the feat of suppressing coal mine workers, several of them just think about it, this is a strike of more than 100,000 people, how many private armed forces do they have to suppress it? Now that things ca n’t be controlled, only the coal cartel will be compromised Even if they are not willing, Roosevelt will force them to compromise. Coal is an important energy source. Once the shortage spreads to other industries, it will have an impact on the national economy. Do you say Roosevelt will adopt a tough attitude? "
The little Rockefeller holding the microphone said nothing, and suddenly said, "How do I think you seem to be afraid of this? It's not like you."
"I used to think I was very smart, and I will learn a little in the future." Sheffield said ambiguously. He would rather not have any memory of the Soviet Union and related thoughts in his mind, otherwise he would not be so troubled.
"Do you know that it's easy to have trouble with the union now?" Rockefeller Jr. is at least a very qualified second-generation rich, of course, very clear about this strike. Before he left St. Louis, did the slave owner already have a plan? Confidence burst out that there was no problem. Now that I see such an impact, I even alarmed the president and knew I was afraid.
"I tell you, I ’m not afraid of the threats of lions, elephants, crocodiles, etc., but I ’m afraid of ants who can step on one foot. But fortunately, our great United States has such rich natural conditions that these ants ca n’t care about it. Come on. This is a place of choice. Do not talk nonsense, I have made it clear that Morgan will definitely compromise. Maybe this time many of Morgan ’s secretly traded industries will be targeted. But this time, the strike, Because of the nature of the media industry, antitrust laws will not be used, and now we may be safe. "
Sheffield obviously wasn't thinking about talking about strikes, and quickly spoke his opinion. How can you fight against a president within the framework of the United States? These are very particular things, and Rockefeller Jr. no longer struggles with his brother-in-law's fear or fear.
Now the two can stand aside and look at Morgan's disgraced face, but sooner or later this matter will evolve into the whole industry. Hanging up the phone, Sheffield temporarily cut off the source of his irritability.
According to normal practice, no matter who is the president, among the strikes that occurred in the past, whether it is the state government or the federal government, their positions are inclined to large companies, and almost no one feels that this is wrong.
Coal is the real protagonist of this industrial age. Coal provides energy for almost all modern production and life such as steelmaking, railways, shipping, heating, and lighting. The influence of coal strikes has begun to radiate beyond the industry, and Roosevelt himself is more anxious than anyone else.
"Eight hours of work a day, wages rise by 20%, how can they not it?" Bell, who left the White House, was angry with Jess, and Morgan behind the coal cartel, and he did not hide the coal mine workers Insatiable hatred, "The brazen bastards, under the banner of justice, put forth vile proposals. The most shocking thing is that the president did not object on the spot and ignored the contributions of many of our companies to the United States for many years."
At the cartel's headquarters, Jess informed the heads of all the companies of the feedback from Bell. Immediately, it caused a fierce opposition, "Each one hundred thousand coal miners, each of them raised one-fifth of their wages, and only want to work for eight hours? We will definitely not agree!"
"Yes, absolutely will not agree! Didn't they want to strike, just keep going, we won't talk about it."
"Yes, not to mention, when the coal supply is difficult, the price will skyrocket, and now the coal in hand is no longer sold."
"We will never succumb!" The voices of opposition came one after another, and Jess understood that John Mitchell's insatiable greed had aroused the resentment of these bosses. Jess also felt that this condition was unacceptable. If he agreed to the conditions of these workers in full Is a complete failure.
"Okay, then you fight!" Jess sneered, determined after gaining support from the shareholders, he could not compromise so easily, as for other consequences.
As a leader in the coal industry, the coal cartel has not allowed climate unions to appear for many years. Naturally, when it has its own time, it stalemates for a period of time and develops some "work thieves" among the workers. Disintegrated. Among the coal miners at that time, there were black people from the south, white "migrant workers" from the countryside, and new immigrants from Europe. Their religious beliefs and interests were different. As long as they can withstand the pressure, they will definitely be able to let these The strikers succumbed.
Soon Bell represented the coal cartel, and would not accept the unreasonable demands of the Coal Miners Association. This statement can be called brave. It should be known that public opinion is very unfavorable to them. Even President Roosevelt was greatly surprised by the tough attitude of the workers and coal mine owners.
"If they want to take a break, there is enough rest time now, and no one can delay their break." Bell expressed his tough attitude as a reporter surrounding him.
"Obviously our first round of goodwill from Mr. President was not very successful!" Sheffield happily watched the show. The unsuccessful things made him appetite. Time is really a good thing. The slave owner at this time is not like At the beginning, he was almost scared by the strike and urinated his trousers, but gained power from the coal cartel.
This is the true monopoly capitalist, there should have been a broken attitude, slave owners still have a lot of places to learn, rather than just knowing that the comprador of a small country is Yaowuyangwei, the true monopoly capitalist should be irrespective of any threats. Punch out.
"Maybe there will be fights at some time!" Natalia was happy to see Sheffield, and she followed the words happily, "If there is a little conflict, what will Mr. President do?"
Prior to this, whenever strikes were encountered, employers often resorted to organizing private armies, expelling union activists, and employing large numbers of replacement workers to eliminate the threat of strikes. The labor organizers have also adopted illegal or even violent means to deal with the capital. Both employers and employees have various political forces and gangs involved in the process of organization and conflict.
There is no clean one on both sides, and now the attitude of seeing the coal cartel is so tough that Natalia feels that the day of the fight is not far away.
"It hasn't been so fast. Now, whether it is John Mitchell or Jess, I feel that I have time to drag down. When there is no time to drag down, I will fight." Annie took a newspaper and said that she was not I agree with Natalia ’s idea,
The negotiation will continue, and it will depend on who is in a hurry if it will fight in the future.

"Annie is right, not so fast! What's the matter to us?" Sheffield straightened up. "Many companies have already received invitations and are ready to come by then. Let's take a look at the venue for the Expo."
The Louisiana State Government is also very attentive to the World Expo. After all, if it is well organized, it is also a proper performance project. Who said that the state government of the United States does not like the performance project? Don't want to continue winning in the next election?
According to the observation of the slave owners, because of the elections every four years, the attitude of the United States towards the achievements project will only be more serious than that of the Republic, and it does not care less. It may not be the case in the entire United States, but the State of Louisiana must not have run.
Compared to the lightness here, the atmosphere of Rockefeller Manor and the atmosphere of Morgan Headquarters are also very different in New York. Compared with the optimistic attitude of Rockefeller Manor and slave owners, the atmosphere of Morgan Headquarters is much more serious, Little Morgan Turning back and forth in the office, he finally couldn't hold his breath and asked the father who was sitting there, "Dad, didn't Jess come over to communicate, ask your opinion?"
"Ask me for my opinion? Why did you ask for my opinion, because the original cartel leader was kicked out of the cartel by me, and finally committed suicide?" Morgan looked at his son funnyly and said lightly, "You should Knowing that I am different from Rockefeller, the industry I am involved in can be said to be far more than any businessman, but my voice is completely incomparable with standard oil. The reason why Gao En was kicked out of the cartel is because of his expansion. Excessively causing dissatisfaction among shareholders, he is too greedy. He wants to turn coal cartel into a trust like Standard Oil. The progress is too fast, which leads to losses, so I seized the opportunity. "
"So he will not ask my opinion now, and no one will listen to me." Morgan was helpless. "Only if they really can't handle such a problem, they will seriously ask my opinion."
"When was that?" Little Morgan sighed, envying the authority of some companies.
"Wait slowly, don't worry! Standard Petroleum, United Corporation, their dominance in their field is much stronger than mine, but this is not always an advantage." The old God of Morgan is in the road, "They are touching Roosevelt's bottom , In fact, me too ... Ha ha! "
