Johann Most, a charismatic German-speaking anarcho-whatever comes to America to go on a German speaking tour and invigorates the movement.

An introduction to Marxism in the American late 19th century -- mostly foreigners, mostly Germans.

Lots of newspaper clips and statistics. The NYT says that unions are unAmerican because "tyrannical", lots of unions and workers get charged with conspiracy, and the right-to-work argument is strong.

So far a numbers-rich introduction to labor in the American late 19th century.
