Description
From the close of the Civil War into the early twentieth century, industrialization swept through America. Huge corporations rose to economic dominance, while millions found themselves dependent upon wages--and severe tensions resulted in frequent clashes. During the Progressive era, the United States Commission on Industrial Relations traversed the country, holding hearings wherein over 700 witness appeared, and researching a range of industries searching for ways to prevent industrial strife. The Commission presented an in-depth and yet panoramic survey of an America in turmoil. This book examines the origins, operations, and findings of the Commission, describes the image of violence the investigations projected, and analyzes the impact of the Commission's work on American history.
