Throughout the 1920s and 30s, the Tri-State Mining District of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri was the world's leading producer of lead and zinc concentrates. Traditionally, the Tri-State had been a nonunion district, but in the early 1930s the International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers organized seven locals there. Unable to gain recognition from the mining and milling companies as the exclusive bargaining agent for the district workers, union officials called a strike in May 1935, a strike that completely shut down operations and left thousands of men unemployed in the midst of the Great Depression. In this book Suggs examines the Tri-State metal workers' strike as a microcosm of the many currents of change affecting labor in the watershed years of the thirties. The walkout of the metal workers failed to generate a great deal of national interest, although their strike was as tempestuous as the more publicized walkouts elsewhere. Like the others, it provoked mass demonstrations, a back-to-work movement, military intervention by the national guards of two states, the emergence of a strongly supported company union, subtle and overt intimidation of the striking workers, destruction of property, a bloody shoot-out and brawls, charges of communist leadership, and federal intervention under the prolabor laws of the new Deal. The strike involved thousands of workers and dramatic episodes of violence, but it was largely ignored by the news media because of the physical remoteness of the district and the labor unrest then occurring in more populous industrial centers. Based on extensive research in the records of the National Labor Relations Board, state historical societies, selected manuscript collections, state and federal documents, newspapers, interviews, correspondence, and secondary sources, the author has written a book important for what it tells about labor and management nationwide during the 30s and 40s.

Among our most celebrated and notorious Americans, these monsters are the corrupt, greedy, power-mad, and vicious betrayers of the dreams of fair play and equal opportunity, the practitioners of a catalog of anti-democratic vice: from anti-Semitism and union-busting to racism and murder. Organized in Dantesque circles, American Monsters remembers history a little differently than it is taught in school. Indian exterminator President Andrew Jackson, Jew-baiting propagandist Henry Ford, and nearly forty other malefactors whose evil cores have been relegated to footnotes, are brought to account. From Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Roger Taney, to robber barons and captains of industry like Henry Clay Frick and Andrew Carnegie; from Ezra Pound and Col. Tom Parker to cops and criminals like Alan Pinkerton and Charles Manson, American Monsters is provocative and entertaining history that you won’t read anywhere else. With specially commissioned essays by veteran chroniclers such as Pete Hamill, Jimmy Breslin, Ishmael Reed, Steve Earle, Danny Schechter, Nat Hentoff, James Ridgeway, Joe Conason, Michael Wolff, Danny Goldberg, Will Blythe, and Legs McNeil, this collection of national malfeasance—edited by award-winning columnist Jack Newfield—holds up a dark mirror to the national character.

Labor's Text charts how the worker has been portrayed and often misrepresented in American fiction. Laura Hapke offers hundreds of depictions of wage earners: from fiction on the early artisan "aristocrats" to the Gilded Age's union-busting novelists to the year 2000's marginalized, apolitical men and women. Whether the authors discussed are pro- or anti-labor, Hapke illuminates the literary, historical, and intellectual contexts in which their fiction was produced and read.
