Description
""A Strike of Millionaires Against Miners or The Story of Spring Valley: An Open Letter to the Millionaires"" is a book written by Henry Demarest Lloyd and published in 1890. The book is a detailed account of the events that occurred during the Spring Valley coal strike of 1888-89 in Illinois, where a group of wealthy businessmen attempted to break the strike of coal miners by using their financial power and political influence.Lloyd, a journalist and social reformer, wrote the book as an open letter to the millionaires of America, calling on them to recognize the rights of workers and to use their wealth and influence for the betterment of society. He presents a vivid portrayal of the harsh living and working conditions of the miners, who were forced to work long hours for low wages in dangerous mines.The book also exposes the tactics used by the wealthy mine owners to break the strike, including the use of private detectives, hired thugs, and the manipulation of the legal system. Lloyd argues that the actions of the millionaires were a threat to democracy and social justice, and that they had a responsibility to use their wealth for the public good.Overall, ""A Strike of Millionaires Against Miners or The Story of Spring Valley"" is a powerful indictment of the greed and corruption of the wealthy elite in America, and a call to action for social reform and economic justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
