Strikes, Strikes, Everywhere.

On our trip to New York, the strikes across our nation became much more apparent. There people are striking all over the place. Boston is relatively calm, or at least the people there aren't so violent. I've heard of many strikes in places like Illinois that have become very radical. The Pullman Strike? Dear Lord. Thankfully the people who work for my family don't feel the need to rebel, though we do compensate them very well, so there is no real need to strike. With recent major industrialization, and more people no longer working for themselves, people are starting to realize that they want and deserve rights as laborers. We shall have to see how this turn out, and in the end which has the most power, laborers or big business.
