You may want to look at the story of Kelly's Army for more context. I looked at the articles briefly but am still confused about who was doing what. Jack London's account told of their starting in CA, with the intention to get to WA, DC. The full name needs to be used to differentiate from US troops. You've certainly found much material on the violence of US labor history. You might want to check your accounts to be sure you identify what industry was being struck against, or where strikebreakers were hired. It would help people have more understanding.--Parkwells (talk) 17:03, 21 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Will do. You'll find that I used the Times for source material on most of the article; I will get into the labor history books soon for more details. Finding out correct info on Kelly's Army shouldn't be too difficult - it appears well noted. Some of the others may be more challenging; I'll see. Thanks again for your c/e. • Freechild'sup? 17:13, 21 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Senator? edit

Regarding

Karl H. Meyer, the son of Vermont Senator William Meyer, is arrested after participating in an anti-nuclear missile protest by the Committee for Non-Violent Action in Omaha.

I suspect this a mistake. There is no "Meyer" in List of former United States senators. The above quote links to the federal, not state senate. The closest person to match the "Senator" is William H. Meyer. He was not a Senator, but a Representative, who had a failed campaign for the senate. He was active around the relevant time. This same factoid exists here and Committee for Non-Violent Action. I can't check the source, since it's offline. --Rob (talk) 02:31, 13 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Now that the factual misrepresentation has been fixed, we have one-term Representative, who served a grand total of 2 years in the House, in his whole life, who had a son, that was once, arrested in a protest that, presumably, was otherwise peaceful. Should every single arrest of a protester that's reported, now be added to this article. Or is being related to a minor politician, what "put this over" the threshold? --Rob (talk) 16:15, 13 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
