Passing of the Mill Village: Revolution in a Southern Institution

By Harriet L. Herring

This is the story of a revolution--the factors influencing management's decision to sell, the extent of the sales, procedures followed in the various sales, psychological effects upon the worker, effects upon labor-management relations, the reaction of the union, and the changes in mill village life resulting from the sales.

Originally published in 1949.
