With organized labor taking an aggressive stance against the excesses of unfettered capitalism  the stage was set for a major struggle between labor and management. The Michigan Copper Strike received national attention and garnered the support of luminaries in organized labor like Mother Jones  John Mitchell  Clarence Darrow  and Charles Moyer. The hope of victory was overshadowed  however  by violent incidents like the shooting of striking workers and their family members  and the bitterness of a community divided. No other event came to symbolize or memorialize the strike more than the Italian Hall tragedy  in which dozens of workers and working-class children died. In Community in Conflict  the efforts of working people to gain a voice on the job and in their community through their unions  and the efforts of employers to crush those unions  take center stage. Previously untapped historical sources such as labor spy reports  union newspapers  coded messages  and artifacts shine new light on this epic  and ultimately tragic  period in American labor history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279624986677,"sku":"ByrdShop_1611860938","price":33.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781611860931.jpg?v=1780603827","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/community-in-conflict-a-workingclass-history-of-the-191314-michigan-copper-strike-and-the-italian-hall-tragedy-9781611860931","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
