The Big Strike at Siwash is a novel by George Fitch that tells the story of a labor strike that takes place in a small town called Siwash. The story revolves around the struggle between the workers, who are demanding better wages and working conditions, and the wealthy mine owners who refuse to meet their demands. The novel is set in the early 1900s, a time when labor unions were gaining strength and workers were beginning to demand their rights. The main character, Jim Haskell, is a union organizer who comes to Siwash to help the miners organize a strike. He is met with resistance from the mine owners and their hired thugs, who will stop at nothing to break the strike.As the strike drags on, tensions rise and violence erupts. The workers are forced to choose between their families and their principles, while the mine owners struggle to maintain their profits. The novel explores themes of class struggle, social justice, and the power of collective action.Overall, The Big Strike at Siwash is a gripping tale of a struggle between the working class and the wealthy elite, and the lengths that people will go to fight for their rights and dignity. It is a classic of American literature that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
