General Strike in Philadelphia Weighs Heavy Costs and Courage
In Philadelphia on March 18 a broad union strike shows both terrible potential and splendid resolve.

Leaders emphasize sacrifice, unity, and a stand against private gain, warning of widespread hardship but pledging to defend workers and public interest.
