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.

Item from Catalog 340 (released for March, 2024)
