Sheet & Tube name rises from the ashes — online

“What have we learned over the past decades? Economics can crush a town, but can’t kill the spirit of its people. Youngstown survived. Hardened, wizened, smaller, but the blue-collar grit and determination, the hometown pride and humbleness could not be quieted. In this spirit, we bring back The Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company," the Youngstown natives say in a post on their website.


Youngstown Sheet & Tube RIOT | 100 YEARS LATER

Poor working conditions and low wages led to the burning of the village known in 1916 as East Youngstown. Destruction is evident on its streets, above, after an uprising by striking workers at the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. plant there that January. National Guard troops were ordered to Youngstown by Gov. James M. Cox to stop the violence. Not long after the riot, the village was renamed Campbell after Youngstown industrialist James Campbell.
