""A Strike of Millionaires Against Miners or The Story of Spring Valley: An Open Letter to the Millionaires"" is a book written by Henry Demarest Lloyd in 1890. The book is a detailed account of the events that took place during the Spring Valley coal mine strike in Illinois, where wealthy mine owners refused to meet the demands of their workers for better wages and working conditions. Lloyd's book is written in the form of an open letter addressed to the millionaires who owned the mines, and it provides a scathing critique of their actions and attitudes towards the striking miners. Lloyd argues that the strike was a result of the greed and callousness of the mine owners, who were more concerned with their profits than with the well-being of their workers. The book also explores the broader social and economic issues surrounding the strike, including the growing wealth gap between the rich and the poor, and the role of government in regulating labor relations. Lloyd's writing is passionate and persuasive, and he makes a compelling case for the rights of workers to fair treatment and just compensation. Overall, ""A Strike of Millionaires Against Miners or The Story of Spring Valley: An Open Letter to the Millionaires"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the struggles of working-class Americans in the late 19th century, and serves as a powerful call to action for social justice and equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
