This Day in Labor History: February 24, 1908. The Supreme Court issued its decision in Muller v. Oregon. This landmark decision upheld the idea that, at least for women, laws restricting the hours of work were constitutional. Let's talk about this huge victory for workers rights!

The 1923 Oregon legislature was colloquially known as the "Klan legislature" because the majority of members were either Klan members or sympathizers. One bill they passed required that history education be suitably patriotic, outlawing materials that spoke "slightingly" of the founders.

@pdx-streetcars.bsky.social i’m wondering if you can tell me the story behind these street car tracks. They’re on Morrison by Lone Fur cemetery.

submitted 5 days ago • 1 comment

They're remnants from the Mt. Tabor line, which came along Morrison to 26th (with a stop in the cemetery). It then transitioned down to Belmont at 28th via a private right-of-way: look at the NE corner there to see how the sidewalk tapered in to accommodate the alignment of the track.
