Industrial unrest report cites feudal employer control in colonies
The final report from Basil Manley of the Industrial Relations Commission, released today, highlights industrial feudalism where employers dominate social and political life. It urges equal political rights for women to help secure living wages and notes many workers earn under 500 dollars yearly while a five person family needs about 700 dollars. It cites widespread poverty and inadequate burials in New York City as striking evidence.
