The 1913–1914 Shelton silk strike was a work stoppage involving silk mill workers at the Sidney Blumenthal & Company mill in Shelton, Connecticut. The striking workers, many of which hailed from Eastern Europe, were affiliated with the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). The strike was violently combated by private strikebreakers, as well as local police forces from Shelton and the surrounding towns and cities. The strike attracted significant local media attention, in part due to the unusual deaths of two people uninvolved with the strike at the hands of strikebreakers: an infant that froze to death after private strikebreakers broke into the house of local strikers to abduct them, and a man whacked over the head with a pool cue on the assumption that he was a violent striker. Amid heightened concern about the size and duration of the strike, as well as the violence associated with it, the Borough of Shelton assembled a third-party committee, which denounced the tactics employed by the IWW. Local IWW leaders in turn denounced the committee, but the strength of the picket line dramatically diminished following the committee's findings, and the strike ultimately fizzled out.
