Telegrams Used To Cover Up True Intent In Miner Strike
Lloyd Sidener, a former Canton United Mine Workers official, claims John J. Lewis used secret telegram signals to keep miners from returning to work during a recent strike. Sidener says telegrams ordering workers back were a tactic to dodge a contempt citation and beats on a coded “The whistle blew one” signal. District officials deny the charge and Sidener warns of heavy penalties he faced and threats of daily fines for working in any United Mine Workers contracted mine.
