Breeding an Insurrection In Pottsville Miners Journal
The Pottsville Miners Journal of January 2 1864 reports five Heckseher Co mines halted by coercive leaders and committee men forcing honest workers to quit. The firm closed one mine with unused high quality coal and the committee men allegedly ordered the others shut under threat of punishment. The journal calls this a large insurrectionary move.
