Every year the workers observe 1st May as May Day, the International solidarity Day of the Working Class by organising demonstrations, rallies, conferences and so on. The struggle for an eight-hour working day, the  sacrifices of Martyrs of Haymarket in Chicago in 1886 etc. are also known to all . But the sustained struggles the workers of Chicago and of America organised in the 19th Century and the sacrifices and hardships they had to make etc. are not known much.

In the book titled “Hay Market Revisited”, William Adelman has given a detailed study about the entire situation which prevailed, the Hay Market incident and the trial  of the  martyrs and what happened afterwards. The entire book brings to  us of the heroic struggle the working class has fought and the brutal and inhuman attack on the workers by the American Government.

The book has been published by CITU with a foreword by Com.M.K.Pandhe and titled ” Glorious saga of May Day Martyrs”.   I feel that each and every worker should read it so that the entire story of the Hay Market Martyrs and their sacrifices can be well understood.
