The First Strikes.

Certain popular movements in the
Middle ages bear resemblance to
strikes such as the disturbances in
England in the second half of the
Fourteenth century More like the
modern strikes were the contests be-
tween different guild ORGANIZATIONS be-
tween journeymen and guidsmen in
both English and continental towns.
History tells Of the riots among wooden
workers in Florence during the time of
the Medici. But as social problem,
as Il Part Of Tile Industrial system,
strikes belong to the Nineteenth and
Twentieth centuries.
