It’s not that the power of the union cannot be used, but it will inevitably be overturned later. This is Carnegie’s experience. But for Sheffield, the coal industry has nothing to do with itself. Although the coal cartel has Morgan’s influence, the coal cartel is

Now you don't have much control over the coal field.

Naturally, Sheffield does not need to think too hard about the Union of Mineworkers. No matter how much trouble these miners make, it will have no impact on their own industry. This time for the coal cartel, the party making the move is the alliance of capitalists and trade unions, a new threat.

.

"Send a few people to follow this hunchback!" Sheffield was not prepared to do the operation himself. He had always believed in secretly shooting. He just asked Jesla to send people to monitor him, and he himself had to return to New Orleans.

Slave owners were very busy. The New Orleans Exposition had been approved by the Louisiana state government and received support from Washington. It can be said that Sheffield himself had serious things to do now and was just taking time out to look for trouble. This time he

We plan to make it more lively, and at the same time let Washington see the United Company's pioneering role in emerging markets.

The main function of this is, "Mr. President, if you want to cause trouble, don't do it during this publicity window, otherwise businessmen around the world will be able to see the country's internal strife."

Sheffield, who has lived in the United States for many years, has naturally understood that many human thoughts coexist and there are no cultural differences between the East and the West. When it is time to cover the lid, the lid will be covered.

When there is collusion between government and businessmen, there will be collusion between government and businessmen, and there is nothing acclimated to it.

"The communication between you and Rockefeller Jr. seems to have a conflict of attitude. If you decide to attack from the case law, if Roosevelt first cleans up the trust influenced by Morgan and then attacks the Rockefeller family, according to the previous case law, the result of the judgment will be

It will be disadvantageous." After returning from Sheffield, he naturally did not hide the cause and effect from several women. Anne was confused after hearing this, why did it sound like there was no way out.

"Annie, there is only one explanation for William's change in attitude on this matter!" Natalia rolled her eyes and said with a bright look, "He is too greedy and wants to achieve two almost opposite goals.

To weaken Morgan's power and to successfully confront the president's authority, this almost requires taking an opposing position. If a group of people sees Morgan being weakened, then from the perspective of case law, the Rockefeller family will also be weakened, and those who want to confront the president

Authority, we must defeat antitrust laws in the Supreme Court from the beginning, so that the trusts that are close to Morgan will not be weakened. In the final analysis, my dear is too greedy and wants everything."

Sheffield sat there with a look of embarrassment on his face, and finally reluctantly admitted, "Yes, that's essentially it."

At the same time, they wanted to see Morgan disgraced, and at the same time, they wanted to have the antitrust law swept away and the fight to be successful! The slave owner's mind was full of the thought that I want it all, so there were two different stances.

"But it is not completely impossible to succeed. Strictly speaking, the coal cartel is not a trust enterprise. The difference is still very obvious. Large companies have huge teams of lawyers. If the federal government uses antitrust laws to deal with the coal cartel, it will almost

It's just slander. It is the best opportunity for many companies to attack, so I judge that Roosevelt will not make this stupid mistake!" Sheffield analyzed with a cold face, "So even if he takes action against the coal cartel, he will not

Issues involving trusts."

If Roosevelt uses antitrust laws to deal with cartel alliances, this will give his opponents an opportunity. To do such a thing as the president, to put it simply, is ignorant of the law, to put it ugly, it is trampling on the dignity of the law. Can President Roosevelt

Sitting still is unknown.

"That's right!" Anne and Natalia nodded in unison, with surprisingly consistent frequency.

"That's right!" Sheffield affirmed. Different groups of people naturally have different considerations. Ordinary workers consider an increase in salary and an increase in benefits. What he hopes is that the salary will never increase, and the lower the better. Essentially, there are two ideas.

It's a conflict, it's a matter of looking at the problem from different angles.

Different perspectives will lead to different results. Take history as an example. The Qing Dynasty is still alive. Official and private evaluations have opposite trends. The official evaluations of later generations should be said to be not low. This is a bit modest.

It can be said that they have a high opinion of the Qing Dynasty. However, the people do not think so. After all, the majority of the major ethnic groups in 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. However, once there are United States scholars who specialize in the study of East Asian history, it is estimated that their judgment will be similar to the official attitude of the Republic, because the United States

The territory and population of the Qing Dynasty can be quantified.

As for whether the majority of people can accept it, the official attitude of the Republic can ignore this kind of controversy, and the United States will not care about the national sentiments of foreigners and say good things.

"Can you invite the company and some connections in Paris?" Sheffield picked up Anne and put it on his lap. He begged for help, and moved his mouth closer and closer to the smooth face, which aroused Anne's attention.

Avoid, "Just ask your father. How can I have more connections than your father?"

"Let's talk about it then!" Sheffield suddenly lost interest. If he really left this matter to the old man, he suspected that the venue where he held the World Expo would become a place for the old man to pick up girls. Isn't this nonsense? He was obviously picking up girls himself.

The original intention of this place is to make Annie happy.

Sheffield started in New Orleans and began to contact foreign companies that had business dealings with the United Company, mainly Germany. Of course, in terms of human resources trade, he did not forget Ottoman. As for some businessmen from Latin America, he was also invited. Then let Xiao

Rockefeller contacted some cooperative companies with business relationships to make this World Expo more lively.

Various invitations were sent to Sheffield regardless of who the recipient was and whether they would show up in the end. Even Japan was not left behind. Sato Sukeo's widow was also invited to visit.

While the presidents of the thirteen southern states were posting hero posts, the coal cartel was in trouble. In fact, the cartel is just a platform for stabilizing prices. Of course, the coal cartel is an exception, and is better than other cartels.

It is more cohesive, but it is indeed an open organization and there is no illegal behavior on the surface.

Although there were mistakes on the issue of the Union of Mineworkers, they still firmly controlled the anthracite market. However, these companies did not expect that John Mitchell would attack aggressively and, in the name of the Union of Mineworkers, would cool down the coal market.

The strike was instigated again, which made Jess and many of the company's shareholders very angry.

You must know that these coal cartel companies are most proud of their continuous efforts to undermine coal workers' efforts to organize unions. John Mitchell's visit is undoubtedly a provocation in their eyes.

Although some individual anthracite coal operators made fortunes in the anthracite mining areas, for decades most of the anthracite coal production in the United States was still controlled by the coal cartels and a handful of other railroad companies. Because anthracite coal was controlled by the cartels

, and triggered endless labor struggles. Therefore, even though anthracite production was actually controlled by the railroad companies of Morgan's financiers, the dominance of coal and the coal giants still remained in people's minds.

Not going.

The appearance of John Mitchell broke people's inherent impression. With the help of an experienced team of workers fighting for bituminous coal, John Mitchell, who arrived at the anthracite coal mine, organized more than 10,000 people in just half a month.

The scale of the strike caught the coal cartel off guard, which had always thought it had solved the problem.

As the current controller of the coal cartel, Jess told Morgan about the current difficulties he encountered while expressing a tough attitude to the outside world, hoping to replicate the victory of the coal cartel led by Gowan twenty years ago.

However, long-term suppression eventually resulted in an avalanche. The strike organized by John Mitchell triggered a response from more than 100,000 anthracite coal workers within a few days. It can be said that the speed of development of things far exceeded that of everyone.

anticipation.

Morgan in New York was full of surprise, and Sheffield in New Orleans couldn't calm down either. After thinking for a moment, he asked the steward, "Go to the bituminous coal areas to find out whether those coal mines are producing as usual?"

The housekeeper soon brought back certain news, leaving Sheffield standing there for a long time. Upon seeing this, Natalia asked, "What's there to worry about?"

"The leader of the Miners' Federation is very powerful. He can win this confrontation!" Sheffield said softly, "At first I was just looking for someone to try the power of the coal cartel, but I didn't expect the person I was looking for was a lion. In fact, anthracite coal

Even if the propaganda sounds better, in fact, the production capacity of bituminous coal is much greater than that of anthracite coal. The coal cartel has taken advantage of information asymmetry, and with the help of Morgan, it has been controlling the coal market. There is a strike in the anthracite coal mines now. If it continues, anthracite coal will

The market will be replaced by bituminous coal. The bituminous coal mines have not stopped production, but because the production of anthracite coal has stopped, the entire country's coal consumption has switched from anthracite coal to bituminous coal."

"Once this transformation is completed, the coal cartel will be dead! How can a small trade union leader do such a thing?" Natalia couldn't help but feel scared after hearing this, and said worriedly, "Fortunately it's not targeted.
Chapter completed!
