Local Union Joins Movement and Adopts Shot-Firers Resolutions
Miners across the state remain divided over the shot-firers issue after the 1906 pact. A referendum favored resuming work and funding shot firers by operators, prompting Local No. 69T7 to adopt resolutions and push Governor Deeneem to enforce the law. Similar actions are planned elsewhere, with miners petitioning to abolish the contract and compel operator compliance. Meanwhile in St Louis a German survivor’s heir inherits wealth, and Metzger travels to Belleville to finalize papers.
