Chicago,Ill: I.W.W. Publishing Bureau, 1917. First Edition. 8vo, pp. 302. Illustrated with photographs. Bound in publisher's cloth stamped in gilt. A very good copy. Miles 4515. A confrontation between IWW activists supporting local shingle workers on strike . The laborers were met with force by "deputies" hired by business leaders. At the end of the mayhem, 2 citizen deputies lay dead with 16 or 20 others wounded, including Sheriff G McRae. The two businessman-deputies that were shot were actually shot in the back by fellow deputies; their injuries were not caused by Wobbly gunfire. The IWW officially listed 5 dead with 27 wounded, although it is speculated that as many as 12 IWW members may have been killed.
