We look at the largely forgotten 1937 Memorial Day Massacre, when police in Chicago shot at and gassed a peaceful gathering of striking steelworkers and their supporters, killing 10 people, most of them shot in the back.It was a time like today, when unions were growing stronger.The workers were on strike against Republic Steel, and the police attacked them with weapons supplied by the company.
