'Railway Men's Anti-Harding Club' voter card
No full textThis is a Railway Men's Anti-Harding Club voter card, which encourages committed signers to get two other signers, attend the April 27 primary election, and vote against Harding delegates to the Republican National Convention in June 1920. The illustration across the top of the card shows a locomotive labeled "Progress" about to crash into a boulder labeled "Cummins Bill," which is pushed onto the track by a "Reactionary" American. During World War I, the American railway system was taken over by the federal government and was overseen by the United States Railroad Administration. The 1920 Cummins Act, or Transportation Act, reinstated the private ownership of railways, which allowed owners to lower wages and eliminate other working condition standards that were improved under the government's management.
