Despite owners' predictions to the contrary, the walkout soon became a protracted Dickensian drama that included 23,000 strikers from fifty-one nations singing as they paraded through Lawrence, bayonet-toting militiamen patrolling the streets, and the daring evacuation of the strikers' tattered and hungry children to Manhattan, where they lived with strangers and wrote loving letters to their parents on the picket line.--From publisher description. 650 0 $a Strikes and lockouts $x History. $z Lawrence $z Lawrence $x History. 939 $a 5461473 941 $a 8 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200303021202.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171228040635.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20150507012900.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20110512012949.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=23BE58562B0A11DE8AF32708A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b NIU 952 $l O3AX572 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OSAX771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UDAX314 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
