The years 1874 through 1895 saw intense class struggle, much of it centering on the railroad industry. This struggle often took the form of working class self-activity, action organized by workers from the bottom up and carried out independently. Railroad workers did not wait for instructions or guidance from labor leaders, who often advised caution and conciliation with capitalists, but took action themselves.

tastybrain - to indent block quotes, use the < blockquote >< /blockquote > tag at each end of the paragraph you want to indent (minus the spaces within the <> of course).
You'll also need to set input format as "normal - some html allowed new" - just post here if you don't have that option.

Thanks.
I realize the piece is really long...readers who are only interested in the strikes might want to skip the historiography section.
Hi I just read your piece.
Hi
I just read your piece. I'm writing a book that includes a substantial analysis of these strikes. If you see this comment would you please get in touch. I would like to cite you and want to know if you would give me your name.
Quite a good analysis. Thank you for writing it.
