Talk:United States textile workers' strike of 1934

Untitled
I used the words "infamous strike of 1929" to describe the gastonia, n.c. strike. This strike is the one in which a truckload of union workers was pursued by vigilantees and shot, killing Ella Mae Wiggins, mother of five. Four other union leaders were killed, as was the chief of police.

Textile worker resources
I added a few more publications for further reading. Some are more related to Textile workers in general than the strike per se. We can move them to the other pages when they are created. Here's another:


 * Textile Workers Union of America Unity and progress through democracy; the program of the Pre-Convention Committee for a Democratic TWUA. the Committee, n.pl.. [195-?], [12p.], wraps, 8.25x 10.75 inches. Issued by union dissidents.

Question on segregation
It's an excellent article, but I recall that the textile industry was segregated at this point. Isn't that worth mentioning, since everyone was struggling for jobs in the Depression? I don't know when textile jobs were opened to African Americans. Just trying to fit the pieces together.--Parkwells (talk) 14:18, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Sure, particularly if you find a source that has noted just that Aboudaqn (talk) 14:03, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Not possessive
This article is about a strike that is described by the adjective phrase “textile workers.” It is NOT about a strike that was possessed by textile workers. Therefore, the correct article title does NOT contain an apostrophe. Jeff in CA (talk) 09:24, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

I would check sources rather than apply grammar: what did the union or newspapers write? Aboudaqn (talk) 14:02, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
