By Harry Earl Montgomery

Book Overview

Vital American Problems: An Attempt To Solve The Trust, Labor, And Negro Problems is a book written by Harry Earl Montgomery and originally published in 1908. The book addresses three major issues facing American society at the time: trusts, labor, and race relations. Montgomery argues that the concentration of economic power in the hands of a few large corporations, known as trusts, is a threat to democracy and individual liberty. He proposes various solutions to break up the trusts and promote competition in the marketplace. The book also discusses the challenges facing the American labor movement, including low wages, poor working conditions, and the lack of legal protections for workers. Montgomery advocates for the establishment of labor unions and the implementation of labor laws to protect workers' rights. Finally, Montgomery addresses the issue of race relations in America, particularly the treatment of African Americans. He argues that discrimination and segregation are unjust and proposes various solutions to promote racial equality and justice. Overall, Vital American Problems: An Attempt To Solve The Trust, Labor, And Negro Problems is a comprehensive analysis of some of the most pressing issues facing American society at the turn of the 20th century. Montgomery's proposals for solutions to these problems provide insight into the political and social climate of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
