| A recent history of the Chicago
meat-packing industry and its workers examines how the industry grew from its
appearance in the 1830’s through the early 1890’s. Meat-packers, the author
argues, had good wages, working conditions, and prospects for advancement within
the packinghouses, and did not cooperate with labor agitators since labor
relations were so harmonious. Because the history maintains that conditions were
above standard for the era, the frequency of labor disputes, especially in the
mid-1880’s, is not accounted for. The work ignores the fact that the
1880’s were crucial years in American labor history, and that the packinghouse

When I was a child in Sunday school, I would ask searching questions like "Angels can fly up in heaven, but how do clouds hold up pianos" and get the same puzzling response about how that was not important, what was important was that Jesus died for our sins and if we accepted him as our savior, when we died, we would go to heaven, where we’d get everything we wanted. Some children in my class wondered why anyone would hang on a cross with nails stuck through his hands to help anyone else; I wondered how Santa Claus knew what I wanted for Christmas, even though I never wrote him a letter. Maybe he had a tape recorder hidden in every chimney in the world. 我来回答: 提交
