Serious trouble at Michigan mine in Rockland riot
The Michigan mine at Rockland in Ontonagon County sparked a deadly riot when striking trammen clashed with workers. Two killed and nine wounded, ninety-five arrested as a large deputy force under Sheriff W McFarlane contained the disturbance. Finnish workers led the strike with Cornish and Irish factions, and guards patrolled Rockland while arrests followed at Ontonagon. A later note mentions naturalization procedures and an immigration act taking effect September 29, with details on required certificates and deadlines.
