Copper Miners Strike - Calumet, Michigan, USA
Copper Miners Strike - Calumet, Michigan, USA. Industrial action by Copper Miners of the Western Federation of Miners. Workers were concerned of being displaced to a lower-paying job or of losing otheir job altogether with the advent of the one-man drills. Strikers here stand outside Dunns Bar, a favourite among miners. Just next door to Dunns was the No. 203 local WFM office. The sign on the left reads: " Something just as good Miners ask for bread, Jim [MacNaughton, C&H General Manager] offers lead". The sign in the middle reads: " One man machine Our Agitator". The sign on the right reads: " We demand higher wages and better working conditions". The men in front are holding copies of the Miners Bulletin. Date: 1913
