189262000Indianapolis: Indianapolis Lodge 64 International Association of Machinists 1892. Broadside strike circular 11" x 8-1/2". Text printed in black on cream wove stock. Text in 43 lines including header and signature; ca 350 words. Small scuff at center-right costing a few characters but no loss of sense; old folds; Very Good overall. <br /> <br /> The circular announces a strike action by Indianapolis machinists against the Pennsylvania Railroad which had instituted a piece-work system at the beginning of 1892 and calls for a general boycott on the Penn; it is specifically addressed to fellow union members traveling to the IAM's national convention in Indianapolis imploring them to travel by some other route. "The 'sweating system' or as the Pennsylvania R.R. Co. is pleased to call it 'piece work' unless checked will degrade the toilers to such an extent that they will be.little better than the Russian serfs who can not call their souls their own lest the Czar by a single word would send them before their Maker." An uncommon flyer from a little-remembered and presumably short-lived rail strike one of hundreds of small local labor actions in the turbulent year of 1892. Not separately recorded in OCLC. Indianapolis Lodge 64, International Association of Machinists unknown
