Clean, tight, unmarked; previous owner's name on ffep; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; A strike gripped Winnipeg from May 15 to June 26, 1919. Some 25,000 workers walked out, demanding better wages and union recognition. Red-fearing opponents insisted labour leaders supported by the fanatical allegiance of foreigners were attempting to usurp constituted authority and replace it with a soviet style government. For six weeks Winnipeg seethed with animosity and tension as both sides used any means, including spies and informants, to win the battle. What was happening behind the scenes? What secrets have remained to this day?
