About This Book
A detailed, sympathetic chronicle of labor struggle in the lumber industry, starting with an overview of hazardous mill and logging trades and the growth of worker organization. It describes recurrent clashes between unions and employers, escalating employer violence and suppression of free assembly, and a fatal confrontation at a waterfront that resulted in arrests and deaths. The narrative follows subsequent imprisonment, prosecution and defense, trial outcomes, and the solidarity campaigns that followed, while emphasizing themes of industrial danger, class conflict, free speech, and grassroots organizing.
