Today in Labor History July 13, 1892: Martial law was declared in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, with National Guards and federal troops coming to “restore order.” The Western Federation of Miners had called the strike, demanding a living wage of $3.50/day. However, their militancy escalated when they discovered that the bosses were using Pinkertons to infiltrate and undermine their union, and after mine guards killed of one of their members. Things came to a head on July 11, when WFM members fought gunbattles with company guards at several mines and dynamited the Frisco mine.

People talk about the possibility being declared in , but isn't that exactly what the "counter-terrorist operation" there already is?

OK, with reports from Russian media that Martial Law is about to be announced in Moscow, I'm off to bed 🤣

It's 1:30 AM here and I'm NOT sitting up all night, even to watch Russia self destruct.

Y'all have a good day, or night.

Today in Labor History February 17, 1936: The United Rubber Workers launched a sit-down strike at Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio. The United Rubber Workers formed in 1935 in response to the depression, low wages and poor working conditions. The union regularly used the sit-down strike. It was particularly effective on the assembly line because workers who refused to work up the line, prevented anyone down the line from working, even if they hadn’t planned to strike. It also kept the workers on the premises, making it harder to bring in scab workers. The IWW tried to organize the rubber workers in the 1910s. However, vigilantes and martial law crushed their organizing drive.

Today in Labor History February 10, 1913: Rubber workers belonging to the Industrial Workers of the World went on strike in Akron, Ohio. It was one of the most effective organizing drives to date among the rubber workers of Akron. However, the bosses still crushed the strike with vigilantes and martial law. In 1936, they went on a sit-down strike.

Today in Labor History February 9, 1886: President Cleveland declared martial law in Seattle because of anti-Chinese violence instigated by the Knights of Labor. The union, which was one of the first to organize workers of different ethnicities, as well as women, was notorious for their anti-Chinese sentiment. They participated in numerous other anti-Chinese riots and supported the xenophobic Chinese Exclusion Act.
