Project Gutenberg 2010-01-28 Public domain in the USA. 310 Hunter, Robert 1874 1942 Hunter, Wiles Robert Violence and the Labor Movement Produced by Fritz Ohrenschall, Martin Pettit and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Violence and the Labor Movement" by Robert Hunter is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the contentious intersection of violence and the labor movement in the United States, especially during critical periods of labor unrest and the contrasting philosophies between different factions within the movement. Hunter delves into the debates over revolutionary methods, examining the arguments for and against the use of violence in the pursuit of labor rights and socialist goals. The opening of the text lays the groundwork for this exploration by describing a significant historical moment when factions within the labor movement were polarized over approaches to advocacy—specifically the conflict between political action and direct action, as represented by groups like the Industrial Workers of the World and traditional trade unions. Key figures, such as Eugene V. Debs and William D. Haywood, are introduced, illustrating the ideological struggle surrounding the acceptability of militant tactics versus peaceful negotiation. Through this contention, Hunter aims to document how these differing philosophies not only shaped individual organizations but also impacted the larger labor movement and its goals throughout its tumultuous history.
