SUMMARY:Blacklegs and cabbage stalks - East Wall School-Boys strike 19
 11
DESCRIPTION:On the 13th September 1911 teachers at the East Wall Boys 
 school arrived to find an ominous message chalked on a wooden door - \
 "Any boy cot going into school and not following other schoolboys exam
 ples will be killed by order Strike Strike Strike”.\nInspired by the
  trade union agitation in the Docklands , the boys declared themselves
  the ITSBU (Irish Transport and School Boys Union) and demanded \"Chea
 per books, No Canings and shorter hours\". They even travelled to othe
 r schools to encourage them to strike and pelted 'blackleg' pupils wit
 h cabbage stalk and stones.\nThough it lasted only three days , their 
 actions demonstrate how the radical traditions of the day were rooted 
 in the community and many pupils would go on to participate in the Nat
 ional and Labour movement in coming decades,\nJoin us for the latest i
 n our 'Short Stories Tall Tales' , as Caitriona Ni Cassaithe recalls t
 he events of September 1911 . Find out what inspired the pupils to str
 ike , how were their grievances addressed and hear the extraordinary s
 tory of the globetrotting school Principal JF Homan .\n\nCaitriona Ni 
 Cassaithe is one of the founding members of the East Wall History Grou
 p. She is a native East Waller and was a teacher in the local primary 
 school, St. Joseph’s Co-ed. for 15 years before taking up a position
