Originally Putnam Staff Constituted Officers Phalanx
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the staff and officers of the Putnam Phalanx as they were originally constituted, a prominent and influential organization in the late 19th century. Established in Putnam, Connecticut in 1868, the Putnam Phalanx was a labor reform association that sought to improve the working conditions and wages of local laborers. The group was named after the ancient Greek military formation, the phalanx, which symbolized unity and strength in numbers. The men in this image represent the leadership of the organization, dressed in their formal attire, exuding an air of authority and determination. The man in the center, likely the president or commander, stands tall and confident, with his arms crossed and a serious expression on his face. The other officers, clad in suits and ties, surround him, each with a look of dedication and commitment to the cause. The Putnam Phalanx was known for its innovative approaches to labor reform, including the establishment of a cooperative store and the implementation of a profit-sharing system. The organization also advocated for the eight-hour workday and the abolition of child labor. With the support of its members and the community, the Putnam Phalanx was able to make significant strides in improving the lives of local laborers and paving the way for future labor reform efforts. This photograph is a testament to the dedication and leadership of the Putnam Phalanx and its officers, who worked tirelessly to improve the working conditions and wages of their community. Their legacy continues to inspire labor activism and social justice movements to this day.
