| One of the few "general strikes" in United States history took place in Terre Haute in July of 1935. In support of a strike against an enameling and stamping company, a two-day "labor holiday" brought martial law and the National Guard to Vigo County. Though the general strike was called off, martial law continued and helped the company break the union. Hearings were later held in Indianapolis to explore whether the New Deal’s labor laws had been violated. | ||||
