Abstract |
An anti-labor fable set in Alleghenia, a factitious state resembling Western Pennsylvania. Governor Elijah Abbot, elected by a labor-reform coalition, actively supports a mill strike, but mill owner Peter Rathbawne refuses to make concessions. When Abbot is shot, Lieutenant-Governor John Barclay heroically declares martial law and breaks the strike.
