THE PATERSON, NEW JERSEY SILK STRIKE
February 25, 1913 - New Jersey USA
The Paterson, New Jersey silk strike began, with 25,000 immigrant textile workers walking out when mill owners doubled the size of the looms without increasing staffing or wages. The strike was organized by the Industrial Workers of the World, but collapsed when mill owners exploited divisions between skilled and unskilled workers, successfully getting the skilled workforce to agree to return to work. Five strikers were killed during the 208-day walkout.

In other states where the dry's are in control fast patrol boats and many raids occur.
