Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railway Revolution in Mexico This was not a matter of great moment so long as Spain's colonial restrictions on trade were maintained. A few Indians or a few donkeys would carry at a single trip all that any town received from Spain in the course of a year; and the colonists were thus thrown back upon their immediate efforts for the satisfaction of their wants; and the king, by prohibiting trade between the colonies, emphasized their isolation, and indicated the uselessness of means of communication. This restrictive policy of Spain with regard to her colonies tended to place the European settlers on the economic basis of the Indians. A short period of the kind of life to which they were reduced made them forget most of the wants that had belonged to their previous station, and made it comparatively easy to provide what seemed to be an adequate satisfaction of those remaining. But by the imperfection of the means of production, and of internal transportation, a vast amount of force was consumed without great results. It is not enough to say of this case that labor was cheap, and to find in this a justification of its unprofitable use. Labor was cheap because, through the force of custom and the restrictions of the law, it continued to be used in such ways that its product could afford no larger compensation. By referring to Spain's restrictions on trade with and in America, the accomplishment of ends with rude means, and the employment of human and animal power directly with little use of mechanical appliances, we indicate the early character of Mexico's economic system, a system which became so thoroughly rooted in custom that its main characteristics were preserved well into this century; and some of its features are conspicuous in the Mexican life of the present. Fruit is still carried into the City of Mexico on the backs of men, over distances requiring journeys of several days; and when you buy it there in the market, you think it still cheap, from which may be inferred how little must be the daily compensation of these men, and, in relation to the result, how great the expenditure of force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railroads of Mexico Mexico's centennial year, 1910, marked the end of normal conditions throughout the country. Porfirio Diaz, who had brought order out of chaos, was an old man. The voices of discontent were no longer quiet, and the world was asking with renewed interest the question, "After Diaz, what?" Hardly had the great anniversary celebration been concluded when insurrection broke out in the north, and a reign of disorder set in which has continued with varying degrees of violence until the present. When the power that maintains public order breaks down, property interests suffer; and railroads are peculiarly liable to loss and destruction. The regularly constituted government avails itself of its right to take over the lines for military use; equipment is seized for the transportation of troops, munitions, and supplies; and the service essential to the maintenance of commerce and industry is disorganized if not brought to a complete standstill. Revenues fall off, outlays for construction and maintenance are curtailed, and the return to investors is suspended. More serious still is the effect of the activities of the forces of rebellion and disorder. Bridges are destroyed and tracks are torn up to prevent the movement of trains; equipment is seized and buildings arc burned. All varieties of railroad property arc destroyed, sometimes purely for the sake of destruction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mexico's Dilemma Mexico's Dilemma has three horns. They are: 1. Financial ruin of Mexico and internal disorders unless a loan is obtained. 2. The possibility of subjugation to German influence with all of its liability for external strife. 3. Co-operation with the United States, England, France and America. What will Mexico do? The answer is one which future events will determine. In this book the author has tried to tell what forces and influences are sharpening each of the three horns. There are bandits, disloyal Mexicans, ambitious officials, patriotic citizens, honest business men, Teutonic intriguers, spies, propagandists, diplomats, millionaires, army officers and I. W. W. firebrands at work. Is it any wonder, then, that Mexico finds herself in such a Dilemma? Mexico has always been a home and workshop for foreigners. Several thousand years ago the Chinese settled in that country and, judging from the relics which are found to-day, in and about Mexico City, Chinese civilisation flourished there for a few hundred years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mexico Today and Tomorrow: An Outline of the Present Earning Power and Future Possibilities of Her Railroad Systems; Facts, Figures and Suggestions Regarding the Principal Traffic Producing Centers These letters were published originally in the daily bulletins of the New York News Bureau Association and in the. The Wall Street Summary. Upon my return from Mexico indulgent readers of the letters suggested that they be revised and published in pamphlet form for distribution in the interest of Mexico. I acted on the suggestion and here is the result. The letters are in their original form, except for typographical corrections and changes, and the illustrations intended to give a more concrete general idea of the principal cities and sections of country mentioned. Neither fine writing nor a description of Mexico has been attempted. On the contrary many of the letters were hastily prepared on railroad trains, and under other equally unfavorable conditions. My one idea was, not to describe the beauties of Mexico or the attractiveness of her people, great as both are, but simply to emphasize the fact that the railroads of Mexico are operated in a country in which there are numerous large cities and towns, which in turn supply the railroads with vast amounts of valuable traffic. Since the letters were prepared, many of the predictions which they contain, have been realized. For instance, the earnings of the railroads have increased at a greater rate than was expected. The traffic of the Mexican Central has expanded so rapidly since September last, that additional equipment is needed. Some has been ordered already, although at that time the officials thought they could get along for many months with what they had. The new monetary system is working out even better than was hoped. Silver is higher than at any previous time in the last five years and Mexican dollars have sold above par for the first time in several years. This price is in contrast with 37 cents three years ago, previous to the decision of the Mexican Government to consider a new monetary system. This wonderful change for the better is of vast importance to the railroads of Mexico, which earn a silver dollar but pay about 40 percent, of their operating expense on the basis of gold. Mexico is rapidly getting on a complete gold basis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Railroad Radicals in Cold War Mexico written by Robert F. Alegre and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the Mexican government's projected image of prosperity and modernity in the years following World War II, workers who felt that Mexico's progress had come at their expense became increasingly discontented. From 1948 to 1958, unelected and often corrupt officials of STFRM, the railroad workers' union, collaborated with the ruling Institutionalized Revolutionary Party (PRI) to freeze wages for the rank and file. In response, members of STFRM staged a series of labor strikes in 1958 and 1959 that inspired a nationwide working-class movement. The Mexican army crushed the last strike on March 26, 1959, and union members discovered that in the context of the Cold War, exercising their constitutional right to organize and strike appeared radical, even subversive. Railroad Radicals in Cold War Mexico examines a pivotal moment in post-World War II Mexican history. The railroad movement reflected the contested process of postwar modernization, which began with workers demanding higher wages at the end of World War II and culminated in the railway strikes of the 1950s, a bold challenge to PRI rule. In addition, Robert F. Alegre gives the wives of the railroad workers a narrative place in this history by incorporating issues of gender identity in his analysis.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Atlantic Pacific Ship-Railway: Across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico, Considered Commercially, Politically Constructively The purpose of the Author in the following pages is to present, in a concise yet comprehensive form, the commer cial and political reasons for an interoceanic communication between the Atlantic and Pacific at the Isthmus of Tehuan tepec in Mexico also to bring together the more important facts that prove the practicability and the economy of a ship-railway. The previous discussions, while complete in detail, have been partial and fragmentary. The writer has had exceptional advantages in investigating this subject; he made examinations on the Isthmus and the surveys of its harbors in 1880, and has since that time conducted, through very efficient and experienced engineers, complete topographical surveys of the Isthmus, on which the plans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railways of South and Central America: A Manual Containing Statistics and Other Information Concerning the Important Railways of South and Central America, Mexico and the West Indies This volume is compiled with the idea of giving a brief description of a number of the railways operating in South and Central America, Mexico and the West Indies, and is divided into three parts: I. South America. II. Mexico, Central America and Panama. III. The West Indies. The method used in compiling this book will commend itself readily to the reader. Each of the three parts is divided into chapters, each of which covers a country, or a group of countries islands, etc.; and contains: (1) a description of the railway development in and other information regarding the country or countries: (2) tables (where possible) and notes giving details as to capitalization, mileage, earnings, financial condition, amount of freight and number of passengers handled, history, location and nature of country traversed by each of the various railway lines under discussion. The Tables in a majority of cases are rendered expressed in Pounds Sterling and American Gold; for convenience sake the basis of $5.00 per is used. At the end of the book will be found Appendices containing additional information of interest. The opening of the Panama Canal in the immediate future and the rapid development of Latin America, particularly Argentine, Brazil, Chili and Uruguay, is attracting a great amount of interest throughout the United States, and the writer, who for a number of years has, in the capacity of Statistician for Messrs. Jas. H. Oliphant & Co., New York and Chicago, assisted Mr. Floyd W. Mundy in the compilation of the "Earning Power of Railroads," has felt the necessity of a volume covering briefly the railways operated in American Countries other than the United States and Canada.

This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Development of the Railroads of North America and of Their Control by the State Commissioners had learned how to make the railroads and canals subserve party politics rather than the public welfare, by political assessments on employees, with the inevitable em ployment of unnecessary men to swell the contribution, and over load the payrolls, by the liberal distribution of passes, and by using other means of conferring favors to shippers and parti sans. Thus political corruption absorbed the revenues of the canals and the railroads, and resulted, after an agonizing death struggle, in the demise of the state ownership of railroads in Pennsylvania. To-day the only other railroad north of the Mexican Boundary owned by the state is the Intercolonial Rail road of Canada. Be the reason what it may, it has never been made to pay - sometimes not even its legitimate operating ex penses. Will the experiment of state ownership in Mexico be more successful? The following extracts as to early Railroads in Pennsylvania are from The Traveller's Guide, Saratoga, 1833.
