Some twenty-five thousand workers walked out, demanding better wages and union recognition. Red-fearing opponents insisted labour radicals were attempting to usurp constitutional authority and replace it with Bolshevism. Newspapers like the \u003ci\u003eManitoba Free Press\u003c\/i\u003e claimed themselves political victims and warned of Soviet infiltration. Supporters of the general sympathetic strike like the \u003ci\u003eToronto Daily Star\u003c\/i\u003e maintained that strikers were not Reds; they were workers fighting for their fair rights. What was really happening in Winnipeg? In an information age dominated by newspapers and magazines, the public turned to reporters and editors for answers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Dupuis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540222985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540222985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Michael Dupuis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43938208153855,"sku":"9781540222985","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b869d5a3-2347-47e4-a467-873c2326b89f.jpg?v=1681434376","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/winnipegs-general-strike-michael-dupuis-9781540222985","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
