Full Dinner Pail Campaign Toyed With by Industry Groups
A 1908 letter from the New York Leather Belting Company to George Baker of the Austin Rotary Engine Company discusses a nationwide effort labeled Full Time and Keep Going. It references Taft and Sherman, protests high prices, and questions why industrial workers lack prosperity despite supposed widespread gains. The exchange cites associations and calls for factory card postings to show support or opposition.
