Excerpt from Soldiers and Spruce: Origins of the Loyal Legion of Loggers and LumbermenFelix Frankfurter, musing over his World War I work as a govern ment mediator in labor disputes, recently recalled that there was a strike in the spruce industry, and spruce was then indispensable for the manufacture of [war] planes. We settled that strike.To be sure, Frankfurter's efforts on President Wilson's Mediation Commission were fruitful. His report on the deportations at the cop per center in Bisbee, Arizona, is a classic of constructive analysis, and the Commission did pacify unsettled situations in the southwestern tele phone industry and later in Chicago meat-packing centers. But in the words of Louis B. Wehle, who also participated in wartime labor rela tions matters, the Commission had apparently shot its bolt by the end of 1917 The lumber strike did not, unfortunately, prove amenable to the Commission's arguments.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
