Miners Plan Mass Rally in Harrisburg for Legislation
United Mine Workers organizer John Fahey arrived in Harrisburg to pressure the senate to pass miners bills stalled by committees. He plans an army of at least 10,000 workers, mobilizable in 24 hours, marching from Pottsville to Harrisburg to demand abolition of company stores, fair coal weighing, elected mine inspectors, and more inspectors. Fahey seeks passage in return for miners’ electoral support, warning of direct action if lawmakers fail.
