Book excerpt: Excerpt from The People's Sovereignty Versus Trustocracy: Showing Need for People's Veto and Direct Initiative and Giving Program of Pennsylvania State Grange, American Federation of Labor and Other Non-Partisan Organizations for Installing the System Nationally as Result of This Year's Campaign In the early '7o's the Granger Uprising brought the railways under control through the use of the Referendum System. It came about in this way. The legislatures in the several states were con trolled by the railway monopolists, who charged extortionate rates and discriminated as between shippers and places. The order known as the Patrons Of Husbandry was established in 1867. It began to establish lodges, each of which was termed a grange - subordinate, county, state and national granges. In Illinois, under the leader ship of the granges, a call for a constitutional convention was secured from the legislature. Care was taken to elect anti-monopoly delegates, and the anti-monopoly measures which they framed were enacted into law by a referendum vote.
