Today in Labor History Apr 26 U.S. Army seizes the Chicago headquarters of Montgomery Ward & Co.

April 26

The U.S. House of Representatives passes House Joint Resolution No. 184, a constitutional amendment to prohibit the labor of persons under 18 years of age. The Senate approved by the measure a few weeks later, but it was never ratified by the states and is still technically pending - 1924

On the orders of President Roosevelt, the U.S. Army seizes the Chicago headquarters of the unionized Montgomery Ward & Co. after management defies the National Labor Relations Board - 1944

Why couldn't we just do the same thing with the CEOs and Boards of AIG, Goldman, and Citi, and carry them straight to jail?
