Extended Boundaries: WITH GARDENS a sense of enclosure is important. On small lots the boundaries may be those of the property or even plantings or other pleasant features on a neighbor's property, for when I speak of boundaries I mean not those of the lot but those that limit the view. On larger grounds the boundaries to views may be well within the property lines.
In 1840, iron manufacture was begun there. Incorporated as a city in 1860, with 13,405 people, Harrisburg played an important part as a Union Army training center during the Civil War. In 1869 the city's boundaries were extended boundaries, a water supply was provided, and sewers and paving were begun. The canal, railroads, modern highways, and airports successively have helped make Harrisburg a prosperous, growing city. Population: 79,697.
Treme, 19 unions each with 100,000 or more members have more than two thirds of the total membership. The largest, the Transport and General Workers' Union, has nearly 1.5 million members.
With variety of size goes variety in the principles on which membership has been extended boundaries or restricted. Some boundaries of union recruitment coincide with those of the craft, the occupation, or the industry. But it is hard to find any union that is wholly delimited in any of those ways, or whose membership covers all of the workers within its acknowledged bounds. Even the general unions, which formally are open to all, are restrictive in practice. |
