Hi Scott. Nice work. The only thing I would suggest is that it might be useful to explain very briefly why the 1919 strike is so important to labour and working-class history. It was more than a general strike of six weeks in one city. It inspired sympathy strikes in cities across Canada and  was part of a much wider movement of strikes that included the US and Great Britain, all of them inspired by the possibilities embodied in the Russian Revolution.

Hello,

This is the write up for Rank and File.ca. I will also attach some of our graphics to use for the article. It should go up early next week.

Please let me know if this is good to go. I wanted to make it fairly short and to the point.

Thanks

Scott
