Sunday summary hints at labor strife and poison concerns
A Sunday summary notes a FOE letter calling strychnine poison used against prairie dogs a secondary toxin and a presidential order violation.

Inter Harvest cites about 2,006 workers on strike across farms in Arizona Imperial Valley and Salinas. The piece also recalls a funeral coffin dispute involving prices and approvals from legislators and the State Board, plus a 1911 carnival worker’s fatal beating in McColl, D.C.
