Blankenhorn, Heber | May 17, 1922 issue

add to cart   close window

The miner Tony Neri's farm is the meeting-place, an hour's ride south of Johnstown, in the heart of Somerset County, Pennsylvania, the newly unionized coal country. The platform is a stump. The men are strikers from the Consolidation mines. Two meetings seem to be on. The four or five hundred miners make one, standing massed before the white-haired organizer on the stump. Back of them a few yards is a crescent of thirty, some wearing white collars. They are company officers, mine bosses, guards, "deputies," and gunmen.
