Person:Miles Hineman (5)

From the "Medical and Industrial History" for Gardie Hineman, 15 Mar 1940:

   Immediately after service went into a grain elevator as a common laboror, working there for about six months, making about $60.00 a month. Quit that job because "just got tired of the job." Went to Minneapolis, Minnesota and got a job as a streetcar conductor and motorman. Worked there for about three years, salary about $60.00 a month the entire time. Quit that job to start a desired career in railroad work. Secured a position as a brakeman on the Great Northern Railroad, Melrose, Minnesota, earning about $80.00 a month. Was a brakeman for about one year with no promotion and was transferred to Minot, North Dakota as a brakeman at the same salary. Was at Minot eight or nine years, becoming a switchman about a year after located in that city. As a switchman he received an average of about $22.00 a week. Quit there because he couldn't get a desired furlough. Went to work at Minneapolis on the Milwaukee Railroad, switching, and earning about $22.00 a week. States he stayed at Milwaukee three or four years but had no promotions or raises in salary. Left there because he got tired of the job. Went back to Tomah, Wisconsin, went on a farm for about a year but states it was a bad year for the crops and he made nothing at all while on the farm. Went to Cherry County, Nebraska and worked about one year on a ranch, punching cows. He got $60.00 a month for his work on the ranch and left that job because the ranch was "cut down" and he was a surplus employee. He then came back to Omaha and got a truck and made his living hauling coal and similar loads. He continued this business for twenty-two years and states that at the beginning he got about $50.00 or $60.00 a month. He had business hauling coal to the employees of a smelter plant in Omaha but becasue of the N.R.A the employees were forced out of their jobs and he lost their hauling jobs. Thus for the past eight years he has made practically nothing in the hauling business, has disposed of his truck and has been unemployed, has tried to do little jobs here and there - common labor work, but says because of his heart condition he is unable to finish any job he starts and he is forced to stary close home where he can lie down when he feels his heart demands rest.

THE PHILIPPINE INSURRECTION (Taken from "The Century Book of Facts, Standard Edition", Henry W. Ruoff, Copyright 1903.) 17:54, 14 September 2007 (EDT)17:54, 14 September 2007 (EDT)17:54, 14 September 2007 (EDT)17:54, 14 September 2007 (EDT)17:54, 14 September 2007 (EDT)17:54, 14 September 2007 (EDT)17:54, 14 September 2007 (EDT)17:54, 14 September 2007 (EDT)17:54, 14 September 2007 (EDT)17:54, 14 September 2007 (EDT)17:54, 14 September 2007 (EDT)17:54, 14 September 2007 (EDT) The Philippine Islands, an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, southeast of Asia, separated by the China sea from China and the Indo-Chinese peninsula, became a possession of the United States in 1899, in accordance with terms of the treaty of Paris of that year, arranging peace between the governments of the United States and Spain. These islands, said to exceed 1,400 in number, had been under Spanish dominion for centuries, since their discovery by Magellan in 1521. The Bay of Manila, on which is located the city of the same name, the capital of the islands, was the scene of the first engagement in the Spainsh-American War, the American squadron on the Adriatic station, under command of Commodore Dewey (now Admiral), attacking and destroying the Spanish squadron, commanded by Admiral Montijo in the morning of May 1, 1898. At the close of the war the islands were ceded to the United States, as agreed on in the peace negotiations, in consideration of the payment to Spain of the sum of $20,000,000. The natives of the islands, known as Filipinos, have been for some time in rebellion against Spain when the war began, their principal grievance being against the religious orders, which, it was alleged, used their power with the Spainsh authorities to extort money and gain absolute power over the natives of the islands. Having signed a compact with the Philippine authorities, accepting promises of reform and a large sum of money, twenty of the leaders of the revolution surrendered and took up their abode in Hong Kong. The insurrection, however continued, and when Admiral Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet, a large number of armed Tagalogs surrounded Manila. Aguinaldo and his chieftains in Hong Kong, taking advantage of the presence of the American Squadron, were eager to return to the islands as friendly allies of the Americans. Consul-General Wildman, of Hong Kong, and Consul-General Pratt, of Singapore, were visited by the insurgent chieftains and it was arranged with Admiral Dewey to permit Aguinaldo and the chieftains to return to the Philippines aboard the American ships. Dewey was without land support, the American force not having arrived, and it was deemed expedient to establish friendly relations with the Filipino Army laying siege to the blockaded port. Under promise that Aguinaldo would place his forces under command of the American Admiral and Generals, Consul-general Wildman placed the insurgent leader and his suite aboard an American vessel one week after the naval battle of Manila harbor. The insurgents were permitted to try to land arms and soon had a formidable force in the field, taking some seven thousand Spanish prisoners and occupying most of the territory outside of Manila, establishing a dictatorial government and assuming a natinoal independence. When the terms of peace with Spain were made known to the Philippine people and American sovereignty was declared over the archipelago, Aguinaldo and the Filipino leaders demanded the recognition of the Filipino Republic, the repulsion of the friars, and asked for American naval protection. For months the tension between the American forces under Generals Green, Merritt, and Otis and the Filipino army had grown until smoldering hostility culminated in the outbreak of February 4, 1899. Aguinaldo proclaimed war against the United States, and a battle occurred with terrible loss to the Filipinos, their main forces being driven back several miles from Manila. The principal events of the struggle which followed, ending with the pacification of the islands and teh substitution of civil for military control, were frequently sharp and decisive, though more often must be characterized as mere gunning expeditions. The war had become a desultory contest, with guerrillas in the less accessible parts of the islands, in 1901. The Federal party, organized among the Filipinos late in 1900 to favor American rule, petitioned Congress in Janaury to authorize the President to establish civil government in the Philippines. Aguinaldo was captured on March 23, and took the oath of allegiance on APril 2. Municipal civil government was established at Manila, May 3. On June 21 President McKinley promulgated an order establishing civil government in the islands and appointed Judge William H. Taft Governor. The Civil Government was inaugurated at Manila with impossing ceremonies on July 4. On the same date Major-General MacArthur turned over the military authority to his successory, Major-general Chaffee. In his annual report to the War Department, dated July 4, 1901. General MacArthur stated that between May 5, 1900 and June 30, 1901, there were 1,026 meetings between American troops and insurgents, with the following casualties: Americans killed, 245; wounded, 490; captured, 188; missing, 20. Insurgents killed, 2,854; wounded, 1,193; captured, 6,572; surrendered, 23,095. The pacification of the Philippines was declared complete during the summer of 1902, and President Roosevelt formally declared the restoration of peace, issuing at the same time, on July 4, a proclamation extending general amnesty to the inurgents.
