A revision of the work published in 1954 under title: Mill town.
A tale of a city, its people, and their history -- The strike -- The trial.
"In 1912, it was possible for Americans to believe that economic democracy was a goal that could be achieved. In those days, the country was still in a state of flux, still trying to define itself. As part of the process, a panoply of political parties -- the populists, the socialists, the single taxers- had elected Mayors, Congressmen and Senators who possessed and unflinching belief in the importance of redistributing income. Of course, the labor movement was a lynchpin of that belief. And this book -- the story of the great Lawrence textile strike of 1912 - provides and important chapter in labor's saga." -- introduction.
