8-30-15 The Battle of Blair Mountain in 2:00

On this day in Labor History the year was 1921. That was the day that one of most pitched battles in US labor history, the “Battle of Blair Mountain” began in West Virginia. Coal fueled the engines of industry, keeping the trains moving and the steel mills humming.

2:00 minute audio at link.

The Rick Smith radio show has some fans trying to get his show on Sirius/XM.

I post his labor history in 2:00 on the DU every day with a great response.

Please help make this happen.
