Labor Strikes and Economic Lessons From Britain
The piece argues that extended strikes in Britain threaten export industries, citing stationary engineers and a 19th century British stoppage that moved work to Belgium and Germany. It critiques labor unions for short sighted wage demands, highlights Railroads in Rock Island as an example, and warns private industry can shut down if losses mount. Also notes education use of cameras in American universities and ends with a farm anecdote about forgotten money recovered from a rusty match box.
