Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The seven decades framed by the Great Railway Strike of 1877 and the institutionalization of organized labor in the wake of World War II constitutied a unique period of U.S. labor relations which labor historians have identified as the most violent and bloody of any Western industrialized nation. The causes of that violence have been debated by those seeking to maintain, transform, or merely understand the emergent industrial system for more than one hundred and twenty-five years. Several thoughtful studies of labor-management conflict have been produced. They have nevertheless either lacked the systematic methodological rigor required of sociological analysis and/or failed to involve the American case. In this paper, I detail the production of an annualized count of U.S. picket line deaths for the years 1877-1947. I then demonstrate its utility by presenting two introductory time-series regression equations which model the suspected determinants for strike fatalities during the years 1901-1918; and conclude that labor market deterioration is the clearest determinant of strike deaths during that period.
