God Bless the Dear Judge and the Greensburg Injunction
A Greensburg Pennsylvania injunction against miners’ actions during a strike suppresses almost any protest. Miners face eviction from company houses as 15 000 workers are out since March. A funeral procession for a veteran miner was halted and the flag removed under the order. Only breathing and praying were allowed, prompting a prayer by the miners for mercy and judgment. The piece notes the open-air upbringing of striking miners’ babies amid summer heat.
