===Lewiston-Auburn shoe strike===

{{main|1937 Lewiston–Auburn shoe strike}}
In 1937, one of the largest labor disputes in Maine history occurred in Lewiston and Auburn. The [[1937 Lewiston–Auburn shoe strike|Lewiston-Auburn Shoe Strike]] lasted from March to June and at its peak involved 4,000 to 5,000 workers on strike. After workers attempted to march across the Androscoggin River from Lewiston to Auburn, Governor [[Lewis Barrows]] sent in the [[Maine Army National Guard]]. Some labor leaders, among them CIO Secretary [[Powers Hapgood]], were imprisoned for months after a [[Maine Supreme Judicial Court]] judge issued an injunction seeking to end the strike.
