Labor and Industry Defense Funds in Labor Unions

It cites examples from England and the United States, including the Cigarmakers International Union with about 800000 and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers with around 500000. It argues such funds promote prudent policy, stabilize during downturns, and reduce reliance on public charity.

Meteoric Career of James Rogers Ends in Bridgeport Death
James Rogers, who died recently in Bridgeport Connecticut, had a meteoric career as a National League manager. He led the Colonels briefly in 1807 before being deposed on their eastern trip, a setback that helped end the one man manager system affecting the Louisville club. Pred Clarke succeeded Rogers and stayed with the Colonels, soon to manage the Pittsburgh club, with top players moved there. Rogers’ death was blamed on a line drive head injury from years past, which contributed to his decline after the National League era.
