The gripping story of the 1894 Alabama coal miners strike The Alabama coal miners strike of 1894 to gain improved working conditions and to protect themselves from wage reductions. The authors recount the depression of the early 1890s, which set the stage for the strike, and the subsequent use of convict labor, which became a catalyst. The gripping story of the strike includes the dramatic decision to strike and corporate attempts to break the strike by the use of company guards and scab labor. In Alabama corporate bosses inflamed passions further by deploying African American black leg workers, ultimately requiring the deployment of the state militia to restore peace.
