On a chilly autumn morning in 1923, the Union Labor Bulletin sounded a clarion call for justice in the railroad industry. Editor L. H. Moore’s weekly publication had been a voice for the working class for years, and now it took aim at the railroads, which had been embroiled in a web of corruption and deceit for decades. In a biting editorial, Moore wrote that the railroads were ‘on trial for their lives’ and that the verdict was far from certain.
