add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the reign of terror in Harlan County, Kentucky. There has been a searching investigation by two lawyers commissioned for that purpose by the Governor of the State. The testimony of innumerable witnesses, set down in the nine volumes of the report, shows unmistakably that the unlawful and vicious tactics of authorities were intended to break the spontaneous rebellion of miners against long-continued starvation wages and virtually impossible working conditions. Apparently every brutal device known to police officials was used-and so far as is known is still being used-to cow the workers into complete submission.
