Expansions needed edit

Latest comment: 15 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I just created this page. Here are some things that I think could use expanding:

Expand information about conditions in the mines (hours, wages, child labor, dangers)
Information about violence on both sides of the strikes (Seeberville shootings especially)
More information about the history of the WFM, including social issues and their radical views which made them unpopular in the Copper Country
More justification that this really was a turning point: more or less the beginning of the end for the mines.
More direct information on key names: James MacNaughton, Woodbridge Harris, Charles Moyer.
Better citations

Anyone? -- dcclark (talk) 18:13, 31 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Woodbridge Harris is Woodbridge Nathan Ferris and there is an article for Charles Moyer. I've linked these in the article. older ≠ wiser 18:48, 31 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
