ILLUSTRATOR/ARTIST: OTHER INFO OF CONCERN FOR THIS LISTING SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS/DESCRIPTIVE WORDS: The United States strike wave of 1919 was a succession of extensive labor strikes following World War I that unfolded across various American industries, involving more than four million American workers. This significant post-war labor mobilization marked a critical juncture in the nation's industrial landscape, with widespread strikes reflecting the heightened socioeconomic tensions and the burgeoning demand for improved working conditions and fair labor practices. During World War I, the period witnessed a notable increase in strike activity, with the average number of workers participating in strikes each year from 1916 to 1918 being 2.4 times higher than in 1915.? This upsurge laid the groundwork for the subsequent strike wave of 1919, as workers began to grasp the influence they could exert over production through collective actions.? The economic backdrop further fueled discontent, with the cost of living in the United States nearly doubling from August 1915 to August 1919. The aftermath of the war also introduced a complex sociopolitical environment. The success of the 1917 Russian Revolution found resonance among certain radical factions within U.S. unions. Concurrently, concerns among business and government leaders intensified, driven by a perception that existing industrial relations faced a unified challenge from what they regarded as a 'Bolshevist' conspiracy. The 1919 Seattle General Strike, partly inspired by the Russian Revolution, served as a manifestation of these tensions, contributing to the overall atmosphere of unrest. After the war, following the end of wartime price controls and laxing of government regulation against union busting, the cost of living rose significantly. This led to anger among workers and subsequently large strikes. Some notable strikes in 1919 include: 365,000 steel workers (September 22 – January 8, 1920) 394,000 coal workers (November 1 – December 10, 1919) 120,000 New England textile workers +70,000 New York longshoremen workers (October 9, 1919 – ) 65,000 Seattle workers (February 6 – 11, 1919) 35,000 New York City garment workers (January 21, 1919 – ) 15,000 New York City Harbor workers (January 9 – April 20, 1919) +12,000 California telephone workers (June 18, 1919 – ) +9,000 New England telephone operators (April 15, 1919 – April 21, 1919) Los Angeles streetcar workers (August 1 – 6, 1919) Actors' Equity Association strike (August 7 – September 6, 1919) ADVERT SIZE: SEE RULER SIDES IN PHOTO FOR DIMENSIONS ( ALL DIMENSIONS IN INCHES) **For multiple purchases please ASK FOR + wait for our combined invoice.
