Radical talk on unions and direct action in Britain
A speaker condemns the policy of downing tools as ineffective in Middlesbrough and cites mail- and ship workers as suffering when striking. He contrasts British union leadership with American AFL figures and notes Seattle and Winnipeg as cautionary examples while questioning the I W W platform and its relevance. Esther and Ruth Mitchell narrative snippets accompany local social notes and community events across Emmetsburg Orient Boone and Charles City.
