THE DAY, New London, Connecticut, May 7 & 8, 1931

* Battle of Evarts - Coal miners - mining
* Harland County Wars - Kentucky

Here is a pair of consecutive issues with the May 7th issue having a small one column heading: "Mine Disorder Region Denied Military Guard" 
And the May 8th issue also has a one column heading on the front page: "300 Guardsmen Patrol Kentucky Strike Region" (see images)
Each issue is complete with 16 & 22 pages, light toning at the margins, small binding holes along the spine, generally nice.

Background: The Battle of Evarts on May 5, 1931, was the explosive flashpoint of the decade-long "Bloody Harlan" coal wars, representing a rare and pivotal moment in American labor history where disenfranchised workers met the overwhelming, privatized force of corporate "gun thugs" with organized, armed resistance. Sparked by a 10% wage cut amidst the starvation of the Great Depression and the mass eviction of over 175 mining families, the 30-minute gunfight outside Evarts, Kentucky, left three company deputies and one striking miner dead after more than 1,000 rounds were exchanged. The historical significance of this event cannot be overstated: it shattered any illusion of labor peace in the Appalachian coalfields, prompted immediate military intervention via the National Guard, and directly inspired union activist Florence Reece to pen the legendary protest anthem "Which Side Are You On?"—a rare, raw piece of cultural folklore written on a torn calendar page while her home was being raided by company thugs. Ultimately, the national shockwaves and subsequent federal investigations into the corporate tyranny exposed at Evarts laid the crucial groundwork for the passage of the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (The Wagner Act), fundamentally reshaping federal labor law and cementing the battle as a defining symbol of working-class solidarity against industrial subjugation.
