Whoop, There It Is... Again... "I can hire one-half of the working class to kill the other half."

[WillyT]

Gould also obtained a controlling interest in the Western Union telegraph company, and, after 1881, in the elevated railways in New York City. Ultimately, he was connected with many of the largest railway financial operations in the United States from 1868-1888. During the Great Southwest Railroad Strike of 1886 he hired strikebreakers; according to labor unionists, he said at the time, "I can hire one-half of the working class to kill the other half."<17>

He was a member of West Presbyterian Church at 31 West 42nd Street, which later merged with Park Presbyterian to form West-Park Presbyterian.<18>
