Hi! My book, Brewing Battles: A History of American Beer has a lot of 
material on workers and the union, the UBW. My dissertation, "The 
Politics of Alcohol production: The Liquor Industry and thee Federal 
Government, 1860-1900," (Columbia University, 1986) has a chapter on the 
workers and the union. You should be able to get sources from the 
footnotes. Cheers! Amy Mittelman
