Bethlehem Steel Works and town life described in 19th century view
A reflective piece discusses Bethlehem as a Moravian center with 1000 communicant members, the river split old and new sides, and thriving but aging neighborhoods. It praises Bethlehem Steel Works, noting 1760 to 1800 workers, annual payroll near five to six hundred thousand dollars, and the firm’s social stance toward workers while warning of potential layoffs. It also mentions Rev. E. T. Kluge, local churches, and calls for broader business responsibility toward laborers.
