Darrow Addresses Anthracite Strike in Springfield Speech
Clarence Darrow, at a Springfield AL gathering for Young Men's Christian Association, likened striking miners to colonial revolutionists. He denounced federal judges, faulted employers and railroads, praised union aims, and urged arbitration while condemning injunctions as corporate tools. He argued the strike exposes labor’s limits and warned unions’ destruction would end workers’ hopes. He criticized President Baer and rail executives, cited dynamite cases, and defended miners against charges of mass murder. He quipped that the anthracite coal fields lay in a 100 mile strip that Baer seized.
