User:Unbandito/sandbox/1913 Hazleton Silk Strike

The 1913 Hazleton silk strike was a work stoppage at two silk mills in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. The striking workers, who were mostly young women, voted to join the Industrial Workers of the World and demanded ___________. The strike began in February 1913 and lasted until April 3. It was overshadowed by the contemporaneous 1913 Paterson silk strike, and similarly ended in defeat and a resumption of work in Hazleton's silk industry with only minor concessions made to workers.
