Synopsis
Excerpt from The Slav Invasion and the Mine Workers: A Study in Immigration
As for the English-speaking races engaged in hard-coal mining, it is plain that the success of the United Mine Workers of America in the strikes of 1900 and 1902 is to be only a tempo rary respite. Their supremacy in the anthracite mining industry is soon to be a thing of the past, as the Slav nationalities, with their great power of industrial competition, have already secured too strong a foothold.

The Slav Invasion and the Mine Workers: A Study in Immigration
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a gripping exploration of the profound impact of immigration on American industrial life, specifically focusing on the anthracite coal fields of Northeastern Pennsylvania. The author delves into a fascinating historical period, examining the rise and fall of the mineworkersââ ⢠union in the late 19th century, and how the arrival of Eastern European immigrants, largely from Poland, Austria-Hungary, Russia, and Italy, drastically altered the labor landscape. The narrative highlights the clash between the established, English-speaking workforce and the new wave of immigrants, whose lower cost of living and willingness to work under harsher conditions disrupted the existing social and economic order. The author exposes the complex interplay of forces at play, including the rise of powerful railroad companies, the emergence of secret societies like the Mollie Maguires, and the ultimate failure of the miners' union to maintain its power and protect its members. The book ultimately unveils the enduring challenges of race and class in America, and the ever-present struggle to achieve fairness in the face of unrelenting industrial forces. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331921158_0
