add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the defeat of labor leader William Green. On November 13 William Green's red-drive on the Minneapolis labor movement was exactly two weeks old. In various parts of the city workers were gathering. In the hail of General Drivers' Local 574 some seven hundred members were seated waiting for a stag show to begin. Suddenly word came that the police were preparing to raid the hall and arrest the leaders on charges of immorality. A dozen squad cars were waiting at the Northside police station, two newspapers already had the headlines set announcing the raid, the cops were busy rounding up prostitutes who were to serve as a background in photographs of the union leaders.
