Categories
We probably need to create a category for this. Something fairly broad -- I don't know if we've had enough strikes to justify a Worker strikes category. (Though I'll need to look through this again to be sure.) What about Events > Demonstrations & unrest? Then it could be grouped with the Escambia High School riots. Thoughts/suggestions? --Admin 08:05, 7 March 2008 (CST)
April 6 story
Joe, I've just transcribed a story about the first day of the strike (April 6, 1908). Thought you'd get a kick out of it. My favourite line is "There was a good deal of anger displayed at this juncture, and more than one pair of brass knuckles was surreptitiously handled." I've uploaded the file as a .doc here: [2] dscosson ··· talk 14:38, 7 March 2008 (CST)
