A strike gripped Winnipeg from May 15 to June 26, 1919. Some
twenty-five thousand workers walked out, demanding better wages and
union recognition. Red-fearing opponents insisted labour radicals
were attempting to usurp constitutional authority and replace it
with Bolshevism. Newspapers like the "Manitoba Free Press" claimed
themselves political victims and warned of Soviet infiltration.
Supporters of the general sympathetic strike like the "Toronto
Daily Star" maintained that strikers were not Reds; they were
workers fighting for their fair rights. What was really happening
in Winnipeg? In an information age dominated by newspapers and
magazines, the public turned to reporters and editors for answers.
