Light Bulbs Stolen Beaumont Worker Held First Union Card in Texas Oil
Harry Paramore of Beaumont holds what is probably the first union card issued to a Texas oil field worker. It was issued December 1, 1905, just before the first strike in the Texas field. Paramore, a 21 year old light pumper from 1903, helped organize Local 1198 of Guffey Oil and Gas Well Workers. The strike lasted 10 days and ended after wage cuts were restored.
