Özet
Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Wisconsin Eyaleti sınırları içindeki Oshkosh’ın büyüme öyküsü, kereste endüstrisinin yükselişinin tarihidir. XIX. yüzyılın sonlarında 28.000’e yakın nüfusuyla bir kereste sanayii merkezi olan şehir, ekonomik olarak Paine ve diğer altı -Radford, Morgan, McMillen, Williamson-Libbey, Foster-Hafner ve Gouldşirket tarafından yönetilmekteydi. Başlangıçta topraklarını temizleyip evlerini inşa etmek isteyen yerel çiftçilere hizmet ve servis sağlamak amacıyla kurulan bu şirketler, 1890’lar boyunca ucuz mal ithalatı yaptılar ve kadınlarla çocukları işe alıp erkeklere ödedikleri ücretin, ki bu günde 10 saatlik çalışmaya karşılık 90 sentti, yarısını ödediler. Uluslararası basında “dünyanın köle maaşı başkenti” şeklinde tanımlanan Oshkosh’ta günlük ücretin en az 1,5 dolar olmasıyla genelde %25 artış sağlanması, kadınların istihdamına son verilmesi, sendikanın işverenlerce tanınması, işçi ücretlerinin haftalık olarak düzenli ödenmesi gibi taleplerle 16 Mayıs 1898 Pazartesi günü grev başlamış ve 14 hafta sürmüştür.
The history of the growth of the city of Oshkosh, located in Wisconsin, United States, is the history of the rise of industry and, more directly, the rise of the lumber industry. It was center for wood and lumber industry at the end of nineteenth century with a population of about 28,000. For a long time, it had been known as "Sawdust City", and seven lumber companies -Paine, Radford, Morgan, McMillen, WilliamsonLibbey, Foster-Hafner, and Gould- had controlled the administrative power over the city. Originally, the lumber mills were erected to supply services and materials to local farmers trying to clear their land and build homes. During the 1890s, the companies imported cheap materials and employed women and children with a half wage rate men were paid. Men's wage rate was about 90 cents for a 10-hour day. This situation had led to accuse Oshkosh of being the "slave wage capital of world". Oshkosh strike which had started on May 16, 1898 and lasted for fourteen weeks, demanded that minimum daily wage rate should be 1.5 USD, women employment had to be terminated, unions should be recognized, and workers' wages should be paid on a weekly basis regularly.
