Abstract

Struggle in Marble
Marburg, Anita | April 1, 1936 issue

add to cart   close window

The author says that placid Vermont scene has been tense for five months with a struggle between the marble workers of Rutland County and the Proctor-controlled Vermont Marble Co. Despite bayonet attacks and tear-gas bombs, the news of the strike reached New York City five weeks after its beginning, tucked into the real- estate page as an interesting item for companies needing granite. It was this citizens' group that on February 29 sent a committee of seventy-five men and women, headed by Rockwell Kent, into the five marble towns to make an investigation and report its findings.
