Best known for a vivid account of the Burston School Strike, this early 20th-century writer brought a major labor dispute to life for a popular audience. Very little biographical information is readily documented, which gives the surviving work an added sense of mystery.

The Burston School Strike
by Casey
About the author
Casey was an early 20th-century writer associated with the British socialist paper The Labour Leader. The clearest surviving attribution appears on The Burston School Strike (1915), which is credited to "Casey" and identifies the author as being "of The Labour Leader".
That booklet focuses on the famous school strike in Burston, Norfolk, and presents the dispute as a story of local resistance, solidarity, and working-class organizing. For listeners interested in labor history, Casey's writing offers a direct, contemporary-feeling window into the political passions of the period.
Beyond that publication, reliable biographical details about Casey appear to be scarce in easily accessible sources. Even so, the work itself suggests a journalist or pamphleteer deeply engaged with the social struggles of the time.
