30,000 Locked Out: The Great Strike Of The Building Trades In Chicago (1887) by James C. Beeks is a historical account of the massive labor strike that took place in Chicago in 1887. The strike involved over 30,000 workers in the building trades who were demanding better wages and working conditions. The book chronicles the events leading up to the strike, including the formation of labor unions and the tensions between workers and employers. It also delves into the strategies used by both sides during the strike, including the use of scabs and police violence against the striking workers. The book provides a detailed look at the impact of the strike on the city of Chicago and the building industry as a whole. It also examines the legacy of the strike and its impact on the labor movement in the United States. Overall, 30,000 Locked Out is a comprehensive and informative account of a pivotal moment in American labor history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
