Today In Labor History April 3, 1913: Pietro Botto, socialist mayor of Haledon, N.J., invited the Paterson silk mill strikers to assemble in front of his house. 20,000 showed up to hear speakers from the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), Upton Sinclair, John Reed and others, who urged them to remain strong in their fight. The Patterson strike lasted from Feb. 1 until July 28, 1913. Workers were fighting for the eight-hour workday and better working conditions. Over 1800 workers were arrested during the strike, including IWW leaders Big Bill Haywood and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. Five were killed. Overall, the strike was poorly organized and confined to Paterson. The IWW, the main organizer of the strike, eventually gave up.

Ein netter Artikel über den #Computerviren-Experten #BerndFix, dem ich noch Unterlagen zum #Physikpraktikum an der #GeorgAugustUniversität #Göttingen aus den Jahren 1983/84 schuldig bin. Der #ZZtop-Fan programmierte bereits fleissig auf Rechnern der #GWDG, als ich noch über den #Mathematik-Übungsblättern von #Grauert und #Patterson brütete.

Seine damalige Sicht, Computer & #Software zum Werkzeug einer humaneren Welt machen zu können, traf meine Skepsis.

Today in Labor History February 1, 1913: The IWW Patterson silk workers’ strike began. They were fighting for an 8-hr work day and better working conditions. Over the course of the strike, 1,850 workers were arrested, including Big Bill Haywood and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. Within the first two weeks of the strike, they had brought out workers from all the local mills in a General Strike of weavers and millworkers. Two workers died in the struggle, one shot by a vigilante and the other by a private guard. The strike ended in failure on July 28.
