Starvation and the "Reds" in Kentucky
Johnson, Oakley | February 3, 1932 issue

add to cart   close window

Pineville is the county seat of Bell County, adjoining Harlan County, where occurred the bitter United Mine VVorkers strike last spring. The leadership of the United Mine Workers disavowed the strike, and the hundreds of blacklisted Harlan miners, thus deserted and without resources, were given relief for over half a year by the National Miners Union. The latter has proceeded to organize the miners not only of Harlan County but of all Kentucky and Tennessee, and as a result a second strike, much more extensive than the Harlan affair, was called January 1, 1932 involving not only Harlan but Bell, Knox, Whitley, and other counties, with at least 10,000 miners answering the call.
