Ohio miners clash with John McBride leadership
A lengthy critique from Hocking Valley miners accuses John McBride, head of the State Miners' Association, of mismanaging affairs during the 1884 strike. The letter condemns his stance on arbitration, alleges incitement of violence, and argues for local self-interest over statewide leadership. The piece also profiles several state officials and candidates, noting past service and current campaigns.
