Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of a dispute between the author, a descendant of the original owner of a painting, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The painting, "The Landing of the Northmen" by Emanuel Leutze, was gifted to the academy under the condition that it be displayed with appropriate context. However, in 1898 the academy sold the painting at auction for $90. The author, upon learning of this, attempted to compel the academy to repurchase the artwork but was unsuccessful due to the academy's status as a charitable organization. The author argues that charitable institutions should be held to the same standards as individuals when it comes to respecting the conditions of a gift and that changes need to be made to ensure that the wishes of donors are honored.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents solutions for preventing railroad strikes, arguing that they are caused by a misuse of significant power granted by the public to corporations. It posits that the public needs protection from these strikes, especially as corporations provide essential services like transportation and utilities. The author details the historical relationship between public utility corporations and organized labor, arguing that the balance has tipped, giving too much power to the latter. It advocates for new legislation to address this imbalance by implementing contractual relationships between workers and corporations. The proposed solution ensures workers cannot engage in any action, individual or collective, that could disrupt the service corporations provide. The book further suggests that the proposed regulations should equitably consider the rights of the corporations, their employees, and most importantly, the public. It emphasizes that not regulating these corporations could lead to catastrophic consequences for the community, particularly considering their essential role in society.
