When the owner of the town's local mine hired non-union workers to break the strike, violent conflict broke out between the strikebreakers and unionized miners, who were all heavily armed. When strikebreakers surrendered and were promised safe passage home, the unionized miners began executing them before large, cheering crowds. This book tells the cruel truth behind the story that the coal industry tried to suppress and that Herrin wants to forget. A thorough account of the massacre and its aftermath, this book sets a heartland tragedy against the rise and decline of the coal industry."-Provided by publisher"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Strikes and lockouts $x History $z Herrin $z Herrin $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Strikebreakers $z Herrin $z Herrin $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Coal miners $x History $z Herrin $z Herrin $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Massacres $z Herrin $z Herrin $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Herrin (Ill.) $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Coal miners $x Labor unions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00865327 650 7 $a Massacres. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011476 650 7 $a Strikebreakers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01135027 650 7 $a Strikes and lockouts $x Coal mining. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01135070 651 7 $a Illinois $z Herrin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01217742 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526014202.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=30694B2A86E611EB80D4A9DB35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
