First edition. The introduction is by Robert E. Park, who was one of the founders of the Chicago School and on the editorial board of the Sociological Series. Hiller studies historic strikes by miners and hop-pickers to narrate a typical strike and study the characteristics of strikers and strike-breakers. The final chapter is on the alluring, ‘mythical’ general strike, which is the symbol of class war and, ultimately, the ‘final revolt’.

From the University of Chicago Sociological Series.
