Troubles between coal miners and mine owners...



Item # 691738

January 18, 1874

NEW YORK TIMES, Jan. 18, 1874  The front page has nearly an entire column taken up with: "The Coal Miners" "Meeting at Wilkes Barre, Penna.--The Operators Refuse to Grant an Advance of Wages". This is a lengthy report on the growing conflicts between the miners and the mine owners. It would come to more of a head a few years later with the Mollie Maguire's.
Eight pages, some dirtiness to the front page, four binding holes near the spine affect unrelated text, nice condition.
