O209. H.D. Ward, North Adams, Mass. No. 794. North Adams & Vicinity. In 1870 workers at the "Model Shoe Factory" of Calvin T. Sampson in North Adams, Massachusetts, struck, protesting low wages and the introduction of labor-eliminating machines. The strike was considered an ominous threat to factory owners since the workers had organized into a labor union known as The Secret Order of the Knights of St. Crispin (1867) which by 1870 had become the largest labor organization in the United States. Unable to hire scabs in nearby towns, owner Sampson decided to bring in a new weapon against the Crispin's: 75 Chinese laborers imported from San Francisco and made accessible to the East Coast-based Sampson via the new wonder of the transcontinental railroad. Sampson had heard about the good quality, cheap labor of the Chinese out west so he went out west to see for himself. He ended up loading up railroad cars with 70+ Chinese workers and brought them back east. He supposedly was armed to the teeth, because he was worried of being harmed. Upon arrival back home his striking workers wouldn't let him and the Chinese off the train. Sampson stood his ground and succeeded in bringing the Chinese workers to his factory where this image was taken. VG. $150
