  • The Lattimer Massacre and the Meaning of Citizenship
    52 Pennsylvania History The Lattimer Massacre and the Meaning of Citizenship Melvyn Dubofsky Binghamton University The other papers published here on the events that transpired in Lat- timer, Pennsylvania in the summer of 1897 describe that tragedy more fully and eloquently than I could ever imagine . What I can try to accomplish in this brief piece, however, is to suggest how the Lattimer Massacre fit into the larger story of labor and general United States his- tory in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Lattimer may have been exceptional in the number of lives lost and the intensity of the violent outburst by local sheriff's deputies. But in nearly all other aspects it fit neatly into the narrative of labor's coming of age in the industrial United States. Like the strikers at Homestead and in the Idaho Coeur d'Alenes in 1892; like the Pullman strikers of 1894; the lead miners of the Coeur d'Alenes again in 1899; the silver miners of Cripple Creek, Colorado in 1894 and again between 1903-1905; the Ludlow coal miners in 1914; and millions of industrial workers during and just after World War I; the coal miners of the Hazleton, Pennsylva- nia district were contesting the meaning of citizenship in the United States. Were immigrants and wage workers equal citizens in a demo- cratic republic, or were they a subaltern class subject to the whims and wills of their employers and more advantaged local citizens? The behavior of Lattimer's mostly immigrant coal miners during their protest marches in the summer of 1897 illustrated precisely how their actions signified the contested nature of citizenship.

  • Important Working Class Events in American History: 2013- Current: Guardian
    Important working class events in American history: 2013- Current: Guardian - US Labor News 2012 December 11, 2012, Michigan- Republican-led state House of Representatives gave final approval to a pair of "right-to-work" bills covering public- and private-sector unions. Republican Governor Rick Snyder signed the bills into law, completing in a few days a campaign to make Michigan the 24th U.S. state to prohibit unions from requiring employees to join and contribute dues.December 4, 2012, ILWU office clerical workers (450 in all) ended their one-week strike after winning new protections to prevent jobs from being outsourced to Texas, Taiwan and beyond. The new contract was reached between members of ILWU Local 63’s Office Clerical Unit (OCU) and 14 employers at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. November 6, 2012, Californians defeat Prop 32, called "paycheck protection" by its supporters. In reality it is a veiled attempt by Capital to squelch organized labor's ability to compete financially in political campaigns. November 6, 2012, President Barack Obama wins re-election over Mitt Romney. Obama shows strength in the industrial Midwest with strong union support gained through the auto industry bailout enacted in his first term. June 5, 2012, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker fights back a recall attempt by unions upset at his assault on Wisconsin public employee union bargaining rights. A big setback for labor. 2011 December 6, 2011, Massey Energy fined $209 Million for Upper Big Branch Mine Disaster. Despite its questionable practices, Massey Energy will not be criminally prosecuted for a mine explosion that killed 29 workers in West Virginia.

  • Reflections on Lattimer: a Complex and Significant Event
    42 Pennsylvania History Reflections on Lattimer: A Complex and Significant Event Perry K. Blatz Duquesne University Although the Lattimer Massacre is reasonably well known, it is still important to put it in context. Once that's done, we'll realize it is not as well known as it ought to be. As with so many notorious events, the occurrences surrounding the Massacre are stark - nineteen dead and perhaps fifty wounded in a crowd of several hundred immigrant mineworkers marching peaceably on a public road. Indeed, the Mas- sacre of Friday, September 10, 1897 is so horrific that people are likely to learn of it first because of its shock value and only then turn to the context. This differs fundamentally from the way we commonly approach historical events: by examining particular national, regional industrial, or social contexts, and, in the process, finding events that exemplify the specific context that captures our interest. The temptation is to place the Lattimer Massacre in the most signif- icant context possible: the unionization of the anthracite coal region which resulted from the industry-wide strikes of 1900 and 1902. This context gives the satisfaction that the victims' martyrdom was not in vain. At the very least, viewing the Massacre as one step in a progressive march of events to that significant achievement makes makes it easier to understand. However, such a yearning for significance does not match our knowl- edge of the Massacre and its aftermath. Indeed, the strikes that preceded it were so chaotic, the role of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) so problematic, and the outcome of the strikes so inconclu- sive that a year-and-a-half after the Massacre the anthracite industry seemed further away from unionization than it had been for many years.

  • "N" Following a Page Number Indicates a Subject Is Mentioned in a Note
    1 INDEX Volume numbers in this index are indicated in bold. An "n" following a page number indicates a subject is mentioned in a note. For example, the entry Abrahams, Albert, 8:140-41, 141n indicates that Albert Abrahams appears in volume 8 on pages 140-41 and in a note on page 141. Volumes with glossary entries for specific individuals or organizations are designated with an asterisk. For example, the entries 7:*, 8:*, 9:*, 10:*, and 12:* under John Alpine indicate that volumes 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 contain glossary entries for Alpine.

  • The Mine Wars
    The Mine Wars The desire for dignity runs deep. At the dawn of the 20th century, coal was the fuel that powered the nation. Yet few Americans thought much about the men who blasted the black rock from underground and hauled it to the surface. The Mine Wars tells the overlooked story of the miners in the mountains of southern West Virginia — native mountaineers, African American migrants, and European immigrants — who came together in a protracted struggle for their rights. Decades of violence, strikes, assassinations and marches accompanied their attempts to form a union, culminating in the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921, the largest armed insurrection since the Civil War. The West Virginia mine wars raised profound questions about what freedom and democracy meant to working people in an industrial society. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/theminewars/ YouTube.com>>rt5boxn>>Playlists>>OLLI – Mine Wars The Mine Wars | Timeline Labor Wars in the U.S. After the Civil War, the United States entered a new phase of industrialization. Railroad magnates began to consolidate and expand railroad lines around the country. Factories needed raw material to power their increasingly mechanized production lines. Andrew Carnegie adopted ideas about vertical integration -- owning each stage of the steelmaking process so that he might control the quality and profit from start to finish. Both U.S.-born and immigrants from all over the world took dangerous jobs for low pay. As the pace of industrialization quickened, and profits accumulated in the hands of a few, some workers began to organize and advocate for unionization.

  • This Day in Labor History: October 27, 1948 - Lawyers, Guns & Money
    This Day in Labor History: October 27, 1948 - Lawyers, Guns & Money This Day in Labor History: October 27, 1948 [ 26 ] October 27, 2014 | Erik Loomis On October 27, 1948, an air inversion trapped the pollution spewed out by U.S. Steel- owned factories in Donora, Pennsylvania. The Donora Fog killed 20 people and sickened 6000 others. This event was one of the most important toxic events in the postwar period that sparked the rise of the environmental movement and groundbreaking legislation to protect Americans from the worst impacts of industrialization. Donora was a town dominated by U.S. Steel. Southeast of Pittsburgh, the town had both the Donora Zinc Works and the American Steel and Wire plant, both owned by U.S. Steel. The pollution throughout southwest Pennsylvania was legendary as the combination of the steel industry and the region’s hills and valleys meant incredible smoke. While Pittsburgh was nationally famous for its pollution, surrounding towns had similar problems. For the 19th and first half of the twentieth century, this pollution was seen as a sign of progress. But after World War II, with the struggles for mere survival that marked American labor history for the previous century over, workers began demanding more of their employers and government when it came to the environment. The factories routinely released hydrogen fluoride, sulfur dioxide, sulfuric acid, nitrogen dioxide, fluorine, and other poisons into the air. Nearly all the vegetation within a half mile of the Zinc Works was already dead. Donora already suffered from high rates of respiratory deaths, a fact noted at the time, which is significant because people didn’t much talk about that in 1948.
