MODERATORS
Not only did they strike but they struck back violently when responded to with violence. The police would come out and crack a few heads and they would dip out then later those same cops would end up getting beat near to death by literal children.
Since you didn't include a source for your claims I have no choice but to believe you fully. That's wild!

I especially like the quote of one of the strikers: "Ain’t that 10 cents worth as much to us as it is to Hearst and Pulitzer, who are millionaires? Well, I guess it is. If they can’t spare it, how can we?”
