Mine Trouble Recalled Here

POMEROY November 12 The removal of a legal notice from the courthouse bulletin board recalls a hectic summer in the Pomeroy Bend. The 1925 notice named hundreds of United Mine Workers and cited Judge A F Miller s injunction against molestation of non union miners. Despite tension the strike split the union but yielded no riot or serious trouble as miners, largely homeowners, kept peace and continued to work.
