Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 5, 1918, as American troops fought German forces on the Western Front, German American coal miner Robert Prager was hanged from a tree outside Collinsville, Illinois, having been accused of disloyal utterances about the United States and chased out of town by a mob. In Labor, Loyalty, and Rebellion: Southwestern Illinois Coal Miners and World War I, Carl R. Weinberg offers a new perspective on the Prager lynching and confronts the widely accepted belief among labor historians that workers benefited from demonstrating loyalty to the nation. The first published study of wartime strikes in southwestern Illinois is a powerful look at a group of people whose labor was essential to the war economy but whose instincts for class solidarity spawned a rebellion against mine owners both during and after the war. At the same time, their patriotism wreaked violent working-class disunity that crested in the brutal murder of an immigrant worker. Weinberg argues that the heightened patriotism of the Prager lynching masked deep class tensions within the mining communities of southwestern Illinois that exploded after the Great War ended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Loyalty on the Frontier, or Sketches of Union Men of the South-West: With Incidents and Adventures in Rebellion on the Border While on duty at Elkhorn Tavern, Arkansas, in November, 1862, the preparation of the following pages was begun. We had no particular object in view, certainly no thought of authorship, but, as facts accumulated, they suggested a project and a plan, and as our leisure would admit, we wrote away. At Pea Ridge, our conveniences were limited. The only bouse at the Post was the old Elkhorn Tavern - two apartments and a "lean to" that served as a kitchen. Into this last we retreated, whenever we could, even for half an hour at a time, and taking position at one end of a tabic, while our contraband cook kneaded away at the other, endeavored to bring our thoughts into line. Our sanctum let in the light from above very freely, so much so that in rainy weather we were compelled to suspend operations altogether. At such a time, we would go into the camps or send for particular men, gathering thus the experiences that we have attempted to relate. Ordered to Prairie Grove a few days after the battle, we endeavored to prosecute our plan there, and to some extent succeeded. Coining finally to Fayetteville, we took up our quarters at a private house. Having access now to a choice library, to which we are indebted for an occasional quotation, and to "Webster's Unabridged," to settle our orthography, we continued the sketches. The President's proclamation of January 1, 1863, declared Arkansas in rebellion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book New Immigrants and the Radicalization of American Labor 1914 1924 written by Thomas Mackaman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of immigrants from eastern and southern Europe were by 1914 doing the dirtiest, most dangerous jobs in America's mines, mills and factories. The next decade saw major economic and demographic changes and the growing influence of radicalism over immigrant populations. From the bottom rungs of the industrial hierarchy, immigrants pushed forward the greatest wave of strikes in U.S. labor history--lasting from 1916 until 1922--while nurturing new forms of labor radicalism. In response, government and industry, supported by deputized nationalist organizations, launched a campaign of "100 percent Americanism." Together they developed new labor and immigration policies that led to the 1924 National Origins Act, which brought to an end mass European immigration. American industrial society would be forever changed.
