A Strike Of Millionaires Against Miners Or The Story Of Spring Valley: An Open Letter To The Millionaires (1890) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781164758471)

""A Strike of Millionaires Against Miners or The Story of Spring Valley: An Open Letter to the Millionaires"" is a historical book written by Henry Demarest Lloyd in 1890. The book provides a detailed account of the Spring Valley coal mine strike that occurred in Illinois in 1889. The strike was initiated by the miners who were protesting against the poor working conditions and low wages provided by the mine owners. However, instead of addressing the concerns of the miners, the mine owners, who were all millionaires, decided to team up and use their wealth and power to break the strike. Lloyd's book is an open letter to the millionaires, where he exposes their greed and lack of concern for the working class. He highlights the harsh realities faced by the miners and their families, who were living in poverty and struggling to make ends meet. The book also sheds light on the corrupt practices of the mine owners, who were exploiting the workers and disregarding their basic human rights. Through his writing, Lloyd advocates for social justice and calls for a fair treatment of the workers. He argues that the millionaires have a moral obligation to provide better working conditions and fair wages to their employees. The book is a powerful critique of the capitalist system and the inequalities it creates. Overall, ""A Strike of Millionaires Against Miners or The Story of Spring Valley: An Open Letter to the Millionaires"" is a thought-provoking book that provides valuable insights into the struggles of the working class and the need for social reform.
