Today in Labor History April 23, 1910: IWW farmhands went on strike in Yamhill, Oregon, when some were fired for teaching and talking about Industrial Unionism. The workers were demanding a 30-cents per hour raise and a decent bunk house. Farmers tried unsuccessfully to hire strike breakers and started slandering the strikers' wives. Fellow IWW members from Portland helped bring supplies and sabotaged some of the farmers' trees.
