While it appeared idyllic in most ways and provided new employees with a

better quality of life then they had previously experienced, it proved to be

a bitter trap. The employer had gained full control over the labor force, a

condition that laborers would regret when wages stagnated and housing

costs rose or when housing costs remained stable an wages were cut.

"I owe my soul to the company store" was the familiar lament. Search for

Pullman as an example.
