Evicted Settlers and a Memorial to the Interior
The Knights of Labor in Minneapolis appeal to the U S Secretary of the Interior to intervene on behalf of 116 families in O Brien County Iowa who were forcibly ejected from farms after railroad interests sought title to 17 600 acres. The letter cites 1887 court ejectments, amnesty delays, and 91 additional ejectment suits pending, urging federal action to protect settlers until federal title litigation can proceed.
