The Battle of Virden, also known as the Virden Mine Riot and Virden Massacre, was a labor union conflict and a racial conflict in central Illinois that occurred on October 12, 1898. After a United Mine Workers of America local struck a mine in Virden, Illinois, the Chicago-Virden Coal Company hired armed detectives or security guards to accompany African-American strikebreakers to start production again. An armed conflict broke out when the train carrying these men arrived at Virden. Strikers were also armed: a total of five detective/security guards and eight striking mine workers were killed, with five guards and more than thirty miners wounded. In addition, at least one black strikebreaker on the train was wounded. The engineer was shot in the arm. This was one of several fatal conflict

rdfs:comment	Virdengo gudua, Virdengo sarraskia bezala ere deitua, 1898ko urriaren 12an gertatu zen Virdenen; gudu sindikalean Amerikako Langile Meatzariak zeuden tartean. Guduak 7 meatzari eta 4 seguritate guardia hilda eta 30 pertsona baino gehiago zaurituta utzi zituen. Gatazka honetan tentsio sindikalaz gain, arrazakeria ere nabaritzen da. (eu) La bataille de Virden, aussi connue sous le nom de massacre de Virden, a eu lieu le 12 octobre 1898, et a impliqué la United Mine Workers of America. La bataille a tué 4 agents de Thiel Detective Service Company et 7 mineurs grévistes, et a blessé plus d'une trentaine de personnes. C'est l'un des nombreux conflits mortels de l'Illinois, reflétant à la fois les tensions autour des syndicats et les violences inter-raciales.
