1915–16 Blackpool F.C. season, Background
With the outbreak of World War I, many professional footballers were called up to fight in the war. A conference was held in Blackpool's Winter Gardens on 3 July 1915, with representatives from the English, Irish, Scottish and Southern Football Leagues to consider whether football should be played in the 1915–16 season. A meeting of the Management Committee of the English Football League was held after the conference, during which a decision was made that football should continue, and that each league should organise their own programme. The national League was suspended and regional leagues formed with clubs being allowed to use whichever players they could get, and the registration policy was scrapped.


1915–16 Blackpool F.C. season, Background
With a large number of British Army personnel based in the town, many of the Blackpool players during the four seasons of wartime football were soldiers. Blackpool were placed Group B, the Lancashire League, which consisted of fourteen teams. To make the season longer, it was divided into two competitions, the Principal Competition and the Subsidiary Competition.


1915–16 Blackpool F.C. season, Football League Group A, Lancashire Section, Northern Group Principal Competition
The Principal competition for the 1915–16 season consisted of fourteen teams:


1915–16 Blackpool F.C. season, Football League Group A, Lancashire Section, Northern Group Principal Competition
Some Blackpool players had enlisted, but the nucleus of the team remained for the start of the season, including goalkeeper James Mitchell, who had played only five league games the previous season and who wore glasses in matches. Other players included Jimmy Jones, Joe Bainbridge, George Wilson, Bobby Booth, Jack Charles, Len Appleton and Ben Green. With Blackburn Rovers not having a team in the competition, some of their players joined Blackpool, including Bob Crompton, who was made captain, Eddie Latheron and George Chapman.


1915–16 Blackpool F.C. season, Football League Group A, Lancashire Section, Northern Group Principal Competition
Blackpool began the campaign on 4 September 1915, with an away match at Southport Central. The visitors lost 2–0 in front of a crowd of around 1,100 (attendances recorded during the war years were often estimated). In their next match, at home to Oldham Athletic, which they won 4–1, Blackpool played in an all-white kit, rather than the black, red and yellow hoops they had adopted the previous season. After fourteen games, Blackpool were in sixth place in the league, and with four games left were pushing for a top-two finish.


1915–16 Blackpool F.C. season, Football League Group A, Lancashire Section, Northern Group Principal Competition
On 5 February 1916, they lost 1–0 at Liverpool in front of a crowd given as 16,000, the second-highest recorded attendance to watch the club during the war years. It was their final defeat of the season, and they finished in third place with a 4–0 win over Rochdale at home in front of 4,000 on 26 February. The competition was won by Manchester City. Blackpool had used just nineteen players in the first part of the season, with Eddie Latheron finishing as top scorer with thirteen goals, and Jack Chapman second-top with nine goals.


1915–16 Blackpool F.C. season, Football League Group A, Lancashire Section, Northern Group Subsidiary Competition
For the Subsidiary Competition, the Lancashire League was divided in two with the games played amalgamated at the end of the season to give a composite table.


1915–16 Blackpool F.C. season, Football League Group A, Lancashire Section, Northern Group Subsidiary Competition
Blackpool were placed in Group B which contained six teams:


1915–16 Blackpool F.C. season, Football League Group A, Lancashire Section, Northern Group Subsidiary Competition
Blackpool's first match in the subsidiary competition was a 2–1 away win at Bury in front of a crowd of about 3,000 on 4 March 1916. After three games, Blackpool were top of the subsidiary table and they finished the season in second place. Peter Quinn, who Blackpool had originally signed in December 1910 from Spennymoor United, and who for much of the war fought with the London Scottish Regiment, spent part of his holiday time playing for Blackpool. He was the leading scorer, with seven goals. On 24 April, they played a friendly match at home to the 3rd West Lancashire Division Grouped Depots, winning 6–3.


1915–16 Blackpool F.C. season, Overall
The season as a whole was considered a success by the club, both financially and on the pitch, with consistently decent attendances providing gate receipts that enabled the club's committee to reduce the club's debt. The star players were considered to be Bob Crompton, who regularly won the Man of the Match award, and Eddie Latheron for his sixteen goals.


1915–16 Brentford F.C. season
During the 1915–16 English football season, Brentford competed in the London Combination. In the first season of non-competitive wartime football during the First World War, the Bees finished in mid-table in each of the leagues run by the London Combination.


1915–16 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
Having ended the 1914–15 Southern League Second Division season £7,000 in debt (equivalent to £565,100 in 2021), the suspension of competitive football due to the ongoing First World War proved to be a blessing for Brentford, who were given the chance to face Football League clubs Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Clapton Orient and Fulham in the wartime London Combination. Professionalism had also been abolished, meaning that the club needed only to pay its players expenses and in addition, the clubs of the London Combination were predominantly London-based, meaning those expenses would be lower than that of previous seasons.


1915–16 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
The squad had been decimated by the entry of players into the Army or munitions work, which meant that only goalkeeper Ted Price, full backs Dusty Rhodes and Bertie Rosier, half back Alf Amos and forwards Patsy Hendren and Henry White would play in the majority of Brentford's matches during the season. White would top-score with 13 goals.


1915–16 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
Brentford began the London Combination's Principle Tournament strongly, losing just one of the first 10 matches, but the departure of the locally based Football Battalion to the Western Front robbed the club of a source of quality guest players. Local amateurs, guests and soldiers were brought in to plug gaps in the team, though a few guests did make notable contributions during the season – Swindon Town's Bertie Denyer (9 goals in 9 appearances) and Middlesbrough's Dick Wynn (8 goals in 20 appearances).


1915–16 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
Middlesbrough proved to be a ready source of players, with former Brentford full back Joe Hisbent, half backs Henry Cook, George Malcolm and forward Harry Chapelhow also guesting. Brentford finished the London Combination's two league competitions in mid-table, with the highlights being two West London derby wins versus Queens Park Rangers and wins over Football League clubs Clapton Orient, Arsenal and neighbours Fulham.

1915–16 Dartmouth men's ice hockey season, Season

Harvard began their title defense with a tune-up game against the Boston Athletic Association just before the winter break.

The result of the game was secondary to the response from the crowd and an appeal to the Harvard faithful was made to show up in force to the remaining contests.


1915–16 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
In their next game against Cornell the offense played rather poorly, with many scoring opportunities failing to the wayside. The team's defense, however, was in its typical stout form. Though the Big Red were hamstrung by a lack of practice, Harvard didn't give the Ithacans any chance and shut out Cornell for their first win of the season. The next game against a stronger Princeton squad and Harvard had to weather a barrage from the Tigers early in the game, but Wylde and the defense turned everything aside. In the second half Princeton got into penalty trouble, allowing the Crimson to score three times with the man-advantage and take the contest 3–0.


1915–16 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
The rematch with Princeton one week later turned into a goaltending dual between Ford and Wylde. The two netminders kept their opponents scoreless through forty minutes of regulation and caused a pair of 5-minute overtimes to be used. Halfway through the first extra session Percy finally scored the first goal of the game to give Harvard the lead. Despite a furious pushback, Princeton was unable to solve Wylde and a further Crimson goal in the second overtime gave Harvard the series win over Princeton.


1915–16 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Harvard's three-game shutout streak was finally ended by McGill at the end of the month, but the Crimson were still able to win the match and head into the second half of their season with an excellent chance at winning a championship.

In the initial game Harvard used six substitutions and 13 saves from Wylde to tally its fifth shutout of the season.


1915–16 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Before the rematch with the Elis, Harvard earned a somewhat surprising victory over the St. Nicholas Hockey Club who were led by Hobey Baker. The team speed, particularly from Percy, and the overall defensive effort allowed Harvard to keep their opponents at bay for most of the game and respond when their foes did manage to score. The second game from Yale saw the Crimson receive a better fight that they had all year, with the Bulldogs scoring twice to end Harvard's pursuit of a perfect defensive campaign against intercollegiate competition. Yale scored first in each of the two half but Harvard responded both times with a pair of goals and Harvard skated to a series sweep against the Elis, a perfect record into intercollegiate matches and their second consecutive intercollegiate championship.


1915–16 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season

1915–16 Princeton Tigers men's ice hockey season, Season
With many returning members, including team captain Grant Peacock, Princeton had high hoped for their season. Before it even began, however, the team received unwelcome news when the operators of the St. Nicholas Rink, still the principle arena for the university's teams, refused to allow the freshman squad to use the venue for either games or practices as they weren't expected to attract enough spectators to offset the cost. As a result the freshman team was abandoned for the year. Despite the decision, Princeton's varsity squad was rounding into form towards the end of December and looked to be a challenger for the collegiate title.


1915–16 Princeton Tigers men's ice hockey season, Season

The ice hockey team turned in profit of $186 for the 1914–15 season compared to a drain of $683 the year before. While the profits were small, the fact that Princeton could still draw during a disappointing season meant that the school would be likely to continue supporting the team unlike fellow schools Brown and Columbia.


1915–16 Princeton Tigers men's ice hockey season, Season
Princeton was hoping to end their season with a victory over the Elis but Yale had other ideas. With Ford ineligible to play, the Bulldogs took the rematch and then claimed the series with a second win three night later, handing the Tigers another disappointing finish.

In case there was any doubt as to the student body's interest in hockey, Yale had the largest number of underclassmen try out for the team at the Beginning of December. 110 men, 63 of which were freshman, attended the first tryout. The team got to work preparing for the three game series with Princeton that would open their season. After arriving in Pittsburgh, however, the Tigers were the ones who appeared ready by winning the first two games. One aspect both teams had to adjust to was the large size of the rink, far larger than either typically experienced. Yale did finally acclimate in the third game but the team knew they had work ahead of them.

1915–1916 Church of England border polls
The Church of England border polls 1915–1916 were a series of referendums held in January and February 1915 (with second polls being held in two parishes in March 1916), for residents of living in nineteen Church of England ecclesiastical parishes, the boundaries of which crossed the England–Wales border. They were carried out to determine if the parish residents wished their parish to remain part of the Church of England or to become part of the Church in Wales when the Welsh Church Act 1914 took effect. (Its implementation was delayed because of the First World War and it did not take effect until 31 March 1920). The polls eventually resulted in all but one of the border parishes voting to remain with the Church of England.


1915–1916 Church of England border polls, Background
The Welsh Church Act 1914 was passed by parliament to disestablish the Church of England in Wales and Monmouthshire. Section 9 of the Act provided for the Commissioners for Church Temporalities in Wales (commonly called "The Welsh Church Commissioners") to hold referendums in the nineteen areas defined as "border parishes", parishes whose ecclesiastical boundaries straddled the temporal boundary between England and Wales, to decide if the parish wanted to join the Church in Wales when it was disestablished or to remain part of the established Church of England.


1915–1916 Church of England border polls, Background
Section 9 of the Welsh Church Act required the Commissioners to ascertain "the general wishes of the parishioners" but did not specify how "parishioners" was to be defined. The Commissioners therefore interpreted the provision broadly. The Welsh Church Act provided that the Church in Wales parishes would no longer retain private endowments granted to them before 1662 (though this was later partly compensated for by the Welsh Church (Temporalities) Act 1919).


1915–1916 Church of England border polls, Electorate
The eligibility to vote in the ballots was extended to all men and women over 21 who lived in the respective parishes. This extended the voting franchise beyond the limited franchise given to women by the Local Government Act 1894. It was one of the first examples of universal suffrage in the United Kingdom prior to the introduction of the Representation of the People (Equal Franchise) Act 1928, which gave women the same voting rights as men in parliamentary elections. However, the extended franchise meant that there was no suitable register for the Commissioners to use, which exacerbated their difficulties in holding the elections. They also posted ballot papers to parishioners serving in the Forces. Turnout for the votes was high compared to other elections.


1915–1916 Church of England border polls, Results
The results of the referendums were given as a Written Answer in the House of Commons by the Home Secretary, Reginald McKenna. When reporting, the Commissioners took the view that, in spite of the difficulty in conducting the elections, in all the 17 parishes for which results were published there was a "marked preponderance of opinion" in favour of remaining part of the Church of England, so they needed to take no further action. The results of the ballots in Llansilin and Rhydycroesau were not published as they were deemed to be too close to call.


1915–1916 Church of England border polls, Results
A second referendum, using a more precise ballot, was therefore held in March 1916. Rhydycroesau voted to remain with the Church of England, and Llansilin was the only parish to vote in favour of joining the Church in Wales. Because of the results, when disestablishment did happen in 1920, parishes and churches which were in a Welsh diocese were transferred to nearby Church of England dioceses for episcopal oversight. For example, Holy Trinity Church, Sarn in Wales was part of the Diocese of St David's but as that became a diocese of the Church in Wales, it was transferred to the Church of England's Diocese of Hereford.


1916
1916 (MCMXVI) was a leap year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar and a leap year starting on Friday of the Julian calendar, the 1916th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 916th  year of the 2nd millennium, the 16th  year of the 20th century, and the  7th   year of the 1910s decade. As of the start of 1916, the Gregorian calendar was 13 days ahead of the Julian calendar, which remained in localized use until 1923.


1916, Events
Below, the events of the First World War have the "WWI" prefix.


1916 (album)
1916 is the ninth studio album by British rock band Motörhead, released 26 February 1991. It was their first on WTG Records. The single "The One to Sing the Blues" peaked at number 45. The album was the final Motörhead album to feature Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor on drums in its entirety.


1916 (album), Background
In 1990, Motörhead frontman Lemmy moved from England to the U.S., settling in West Hollywood within walking distance of the Rainbow Bar and Grill. With Phil Carson managing the band, the sessions for what would become the album 1916 began with Ed Stasium, best known for producing the Ramones, Talking Heads, and Living Colour. The band recorded four songs with the producer before deciding he had to go. When Lemmy listened to a mix of Going to Brazil, he asked him to turn up four tracks, and on doing so heard claves and tambourines Stasium had added without the band's knowledge. Stasium was fired and Pete Solley hired as producer.


1916 (album), Recording
1916 was Motörhead's first studio album in nearly four years, and their first release on WTG after a legal battle with GWR Records was resolved. Some of its songs – including "The One to Sing the Blues", "I'm So Bad (Baby I Don't Care)", "No Voices in the Sky", "Going to Brazil" and "Shut You Down" – were originally performed on Motörhead's 1989 and 1990 tours.


1916 (album), Recording
The title track – an uncharacteristically slow ballad in which Lemmy's singing is only lightly accompanied – is a tribute to, and reflection on, young soldiers who fell in battle during World War I. In his 2002 memoir, Lemmy reveals that the song was inspired by the Battle of the Somme:


1916 (album), Recording
"'Nightmare/The Dreamtime' and '1916' both relied heavily on keyboards, which was very different for Motörhead – or any heavy band in 1990. I wrote the words before the music. It's about the Battle of the Somme in World War I...Nineteen thousand Englishmen were killed before noon, a whole generation destroyed, in three hours – think about that! It was terrible – there were three or four towns in northern Lancashire and south Yorkshire where that whole generation of men were completely wiped out."


1916 (album), Recording
Although songs like the ballad "Love Me Forever" and "Angel City" (which includes a saxophone) were stylistic departures for the band, the album still contained Motörhead's ear-splitting brand of rock 'n' roll, including "I'm So Bad (Baby I Don't Care)" and "R.A.M.O.N.E.S", a tribute to punk band the Ramones, by whom it was covered. Both bands have been cited as iconoclasts who ignored musical trends, remaining loyal to their fan base by touring relentlessly. In the 2002 book Hey Ho Let's Go: The Story of the Ramones, Everett True quotes singer Joey Ramone as saying: "It was the ultimate honour – like John Lennon wrote a song for you."


1916 (album), Recording
"To the people we left behind – we didn't want to leave ya, but we really had to go! This album is the better for it. Stale and on a treadmill in our career, a change was needed. We decided a change of locale was an idea to try, and we think its done us good musicially, and attitude wise (which is even worse)."


1916 (album), Recording
The absence of French, Bulgarian, Russian, Serbian and Portuguese flags from the album artwork was explained as an unintentional oversight. "Love Me Forever" was later covered by Doro Pesch, and Beyond the Black.


1916 (album), Recording
The Yugoslavian release of the album on ZKP-RTVL was the final record to be released in Slovenia prior to its independence and the renaming of the label to ZKP-RTVS.


1916 (album), Critical reception
The album was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 1992 Grammys, but lost to Metallica's Metallica (The Black Album), released approximately six months after 1916.


1916 (album), Critical reception
The LP received mostly positive reviews. Robert Christgau rated it an A–, calling it "sonically retrograde and philosophically advanced." Entertainment Weekly awarded the album an A+. Select gave it four out of five, hailing it as "..the most cohesive and downright ferocious record to appear under the Motorhead banner since the timeless blast of 'Ace of Spades' in 1980... Motorhead badly needed an album like this, but no one could have guessed they'd do it so convincingly."


1916 (album), Critical reception
In a retrospective review, AllMusic's Alex Henderson gave it three stars out of five: "The band's sound hadn't changed much, and time hadn't made its sledgehammer approach any less appealing... whether the subject matter is humorously fun or more serious, Motörhead is as inspired as ever on 1916." Reviewing a reissue on the Hear No Evil label, Kris Needs wrote in Classic Rock: "One of their most well-rounded sets, this memorabilia-stacked reissue comes with two non-album belters, 'Eagle Rock' and runaway hell train 'Dead Man's Hand'."


1916 (album), Critical reception
In the Motörhead documentary The Guts and the Glory, Lemmy states:


1916 (album), Critical reception
"That was really the renaissance album for Motörhead, 1916... It got great reviews, which [its predecessor] Rock 'n' Roll didn't."


1916 (album), Track listing
All tracks are written by Kilmister, Burston, Campbell, Taylor except where noted.

Sewanee almost beat Bama after making two interceptions and stopping Bama on 4th and goal at the 1, but Alabama scored late and kicked the extra point (Sewanee's having failed) for the victory. The defeat of Ole Miss was thanks to a late rally.

1916 American Grand Prize
The 1916 American Grand Prize was a Grand Prix auto race that took place at Santa Monica, California, on November 18, 1916.


1916 American Grand Prize, Summary
The race was included on the 1916 AAA National Championship Trail. The race carried championship implications for Dario Resta and Johnny Aitken. Aitken led Resta by 240 points before the Vanderbilt Cup, held two days before the Grand Prize, with a 150-mile event at Ascot Park two weeks after. Resta won the Cup and earned 900 points, while Aitken was forced out on lap 19 with a broken valve. Resta held a 660-point lead entering the Grand Prize, with 1000 available to the winner. As World War I was waged in Europe, the cars were all American-entered, including two Peugeots entered by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for Aitken and Howdy Wilcox.


1916 American Grand Prize, Summary
Aitken's race ended on lap 1, with a broken piston, while Resta raced into the lead. The IMS team attempted to flag Wilcox into the pits for Aitken to take over the car, but the AAA officials denied them the change. By lap 9, Resta led from Ed Ruckstell's Mercer, the Stutz of Earl Cooper, and Eddie Rickenbacker's Duesenberg. On lap 13, Lewis Jackson's Marmon went through a barrier, killing Jackson and three spectators.


1916 American Grand Prize, Summary
On lap 16, Resta experienced a misfire, and retired soon after. On lap 20, Aitken replaced Wilcox in an attempt to gain as many championship points as he could. (The AAA, however, had set a precedent at Indianapolis by not awarding points to Eddie Rickenbacker in his relief drive.) Aitken led the final 22 laps and took the victory, but Resta had all but secured the championship.


1916 American Grand Prize, Summary
With the United States' entrance to World War I in April 1917, and board track racing taking the national spotlight, road racing in the U.S. became largely dormant. Grand Prix racing did not return until 1936, and did not become a fixture until 1959.


1916 Argentine Primera División
The 1916 Argentine Primera División was the 25th season of top-flight football in Argentina. The season began on March 23 and ended on December.


1916 Argentine general election
The Argentine general election of 1916 was held on 2 April. Voters elected the President, legislators, and local officials. The first secret-ballot presidential elections in the nation's history, they were mandatory and had a turnout of 62.7%.


1916 Argentine general election, Background
President Roque Sáenz Peña kept his word to the exiled leader of the Radical Civic Union (UCR), Hipólito Yrigoyen, who in turn abandoned his party's twenty-year-old boycott of elections. The president overcame nearly two years of conservative opposition in Congress (and pressure from his own social class) to pass in 1912 what was later known as the Sáenz Peña Law, which mandated universal male suffrage and the secret ballot.


1916 Argentine general election, Background
His health deteriorating quickly, the President lived to see the fruition of his reforms: the 1914 mid-term elections, which gave the UCR 19 out of the 60 Lower House seats in play (the ruling party obtained 10) and the governorship of Santa Fe Province (then the second-most important). Another beneficiary of the Sáenz Peña Law was the Socialist Party, led by Congressman Juan B. Justo. The formerly dominant PAN remained divided between the Conservative Party, led by the Governor of Buenos Aires Province, Marcelino Ugarte, and the Democratic Progressive Party, led by a reformist publisher and Congressman, Lisandro de la Torre.


1916 Argentine general election, Background
Strengthened by both popular appeal and the fractiousness of its opposition, the UCR experienced dissent within from its Santa Fe Province chapter, whose endorsement Yrigoyen was unable to obtain. The Socialists lost one of its best-known lawmakers, Alfredo Palacios, who would run on a splinter Socialist ticket for several future elections. The Conservative Party's presumptive nominee, Governor Ugarte, stepped aside in favor of a lesser-known party figure, San Juan Province Governor Ángel Rojas, in a bid to attract votes from the hinterland and from moderates.


1916 Argentine general election, Background
President Victorino de la Plaza refused to interfere on behalf of the Conservatives (despite an assassination attempt that would have provided him with ample pretext). Refusing to back them, he fielded his own Provincial Party, which was limited mainly to his native Santiago del Estero Province. Faced with only token opposition from the remnants of the once-paramount PAN, Yrigoyen pledged to donate his salary to charity, if elected, and encouraged the rich country's impoverished majority to know him as "the father of the poor."


1916 Argentine general election, Background
Election day, April 2, handed an unexpectedly large victory to Yrigoyen, who still had to await the results from the electoral college (which met in July). The dissident Santa Fe UCR had drained a significant number of electors from the official ticket, and Yrigoyen obtained but 133 of the body's 300 electors. Numerous Democratic Progressives, moreover, became faithless electors - pledging their support to the Conservative Party. Santa Fe's UCR, however, resorted to the same tactic, allowing Yrigoyen its 19 electors and making the patient activist for voter rights the first democratically elected President of Argentina.


1916 Arizona Wildcats football team
The 1916 Arizona Wildcats football team represented the University of Arizona as an independent during the 1916 college football season.

1916 Arizona gubernatorial election
The 1916 Arizona gubernatorial election took place on November 7, 1916, for the post of the Governor of Arizona. Due to battles between labor and business, the Hunt administration was facing severe electoral backlash. After facing a fairly strong primary by former Council member George Olney, Hunt prevailed and went on to face the closest election in Arizona gubernatorial history. The initial results of the 1916 election were extremely close, with Campbell winning by only 30 votes.


1916 Arizona gubernatorial election
Victory hinged on whether to count certain votes. Arizona then had a ballot where voters could check a party column ballot signifying they voted for all of a party. Some voters did that for the Democratic Party column, but then also checked for Republican challenger Thomas Campbell,  leading to a court battle over the interpretation of whether those votes were valid or not. All ballots that were marked as straight Democrat and Hunt, were originally counted for Campbell giving him the 30 vote majority.


1916 Arizona gubernatorial election
Thomas E. Campbell was sworn in as governor on January 1, 1917, but Hunt refused to leave office. The state Supreme Court ruled that Campbell should serve as the de facto governor until the legal issues were resolved and so Hunt stepped down on the 27th. After losing a case in the Maricopa County Superior Court in May, Hunt appealed to the state Supreme Court. On December 22, the state Supreme Court  declared that Hunt had won by 43 votes. Hunt took office again on Christmas of 1917, after the court ruled unanimously in his favor. Campbell served nearly an entire year as governor. This would be the last election in which Hunt would run until 1922.

1916 Atlanta streetcar strike
The Atlanta streetcar strike of 1916 was a labor strike involving streetcar operators for the Georgia Railway and Power Company in Atlanta, Georgia. Precipitated by previous strike action by linemen of Georgia Railway earlier that year, the strike began on September 30 and ended January 5 of the following year. The main goals of the strike included increased pay, shorter working hours, and union recognition. The strike ended with the operators receiving a wage increase, and subsequent strike action the following year lead to union recognition.


1916 Atlanta streetcar strike, Background
The streetcar strike followed a previous labor dispute regarding linemen of the Georgia Railway and Power Company earlier that year. In June, the linemen requested a ten percent wage increase from the company, which was refused. Following this, the linemen brought William Pollard of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) to the city to help organize a labor strike (a local of the IBEW in Atlanta had been established years earlier in 1890). On August 12, the linemen went on strike over the firing of five linemen, of whom three had union affiliations.


1916 Atlanta streetcar strike, Background
The strike ended as the company agreed to reinstate the two non-union affiliated men and, while not recognizing the IBEW, did acknowledge the linemen's right to unionize. The local newspapers gave relatively little coverage of the event. Preston S. Arkwright, then-President of Georgia Railway and Power, alleged that following this incident, Pollard began to assist in the unionizing of the streetcar operators. Hardy Teat of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen assisted, and together they began to organize streetcar operators under the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor (AFL).

On September 28, Pollard was called to the offices of the Atlanta Chief of Police under accusations of plans to incite violence and a riot. Two days later, Pollard was called to testify before Atlanta Mayor James G. Woodward, where Woodward warned him that he would be arrested if a strike were to occur.

On September 30 at 6 pm, Teat called The Atlanta Journal to notify them that a strike involving conductors and motormen of the Atlanta Railway had commenced. The main goals of the strike were higher wages, union recognition, and shorter hours. Additionally, the strikers were opposed to the mandatory membership in the company's "benevolent society", which required dues of 50 cents per month. In downtown Atlanta, several streetcars were left abandoned as the operators deserted their posts. Because of the profile the operators held among Atlanta's blue-collar workers, the strike received a considerable degree of support from the general public.

In East Point, Georgia, a crowd of several hundred had formed to cheer as 16 cars were abandoned. Georgia Railway had prepared for the strike by assembling 30 men to take over, and within a few minutes of the strike's beginning, the streetcars in downtown were again running, though suburban routes, such as those in East Point and Fort McPherson, were not resumed.

Following the commencement of the strike, large groups of spectators and strike supporters formed in downtown, with strikers yelling at passing streetcars and urging the operators to join the strike. While The Atlanta Constitution initially reported that the crowd's were "boisterously good-natured", the crowds became more restless as the strike carried on. Strikers began to shout at the replacement workers, calling them scabs and attempting to pull them from the streetcars and steal their badges and caps. By 10:30 pm, the company called all their streetcars to return to their carbarns, citing a lack of protection from the police.

Within an hour of this, a federal judge in Atlanta issued a restraining order on two unions and several union leaders. As the dispute continued, incidents of violence regarding the strikes were reported. Around 9 pm, a streetcar stop was torched, and there were many reports of strikers greasing tracks and damaging streetcars. Dynamiting was reported in several cases, including an incident in which two women were severely injured. However, there is debate as to who was responsible for the incidents of dynamite. Several streetcar operators, interviewed years after the strike, alleged that the company had placed dynamite on several streetcars and blamed the union.

On October 2, a group of prominent Atlanta citizens held a meeting at the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and formed a committee on law and order. This group, headed by an executive committee that had Coca-Cola Company founder Asa Griggs Candler as its chairman, collaborated with the police and county commissioners during the course of the strike.

On October 3, the president of the newly created Amalgamated Association Local 732 released five points as the cause of the strike, which included long hours, low wages, mandatory membership in the company's benevolent society, expression of political opinions as grounds for firing, and claims that issues were caused by outside interference. That same month, strikers and strike supporters began operating jitneys in order to recuperate lost wages and put more pressure on the railway company. While Woodward had banned the strikers from addressing the public from public areas, such as the Henry W. Grady statue, on October 13, a pro-strike rally at the Municipal Auditorium was attended by approximately 8,500 people. Among these supporters were local members of the Socialist Party of America.

In November, Warren Akin Candler, brother of Asa Candler and a Bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, banned the use of Methodist churches in the city for strike meetings. Prior to this, many pro-strike meetings were held in the city's Methodist churches. That same month, Pollard, who had been indicted for insurrection, was placed on trial. On December 6, his case ended with a mistrial. On January 5, 1917, the company agreed to a pay increase for the operators, but refused to rehire fired union members or recognize the union.
