Description
Wages are cut once again in the western Pennsylvania coalfields. John L. Lewis president of the United Mine Workers calls a massive strike; union workers walk away from their jobs. Workers in non-union captive mines like Russellton, 20 miles north of Pittsburgh, do the same in a show of solidarity. Thugs, thieves, and murderers in the guise of Coal and Iron Police, appointed by Pennsylvania's Governor Fisher,hold the Russellton coalfields in a siege of terror. They seize the miners’ property, evict families from their homes, and impose unconstitutional restrictions—beatings, rape, and murder. Welcome to the United States of America in 1927.
