| Abstract | The Workingmen's Party was born during the depression. It had branches in more than a half dozen cities, but its true strength was in the Midwestern cities of Chicago, Cincinnati, and St. Louis where the concentration of German immigrants was greatest. The conditions leading to the strike are presented and the history of the strike outlined. The strike failed. However, it roused public sympathy for the strikers and focused attention on the eight-hour day and the need to improve health and safety conditions for workers |
