Title
The Windber Strike for Union 1922-1923 Historical Marker Proposal
Description
The proposal form nominates the Windber Strike for Union 1922-1923 and the New York City Inquiry into the labor conditions of Berwind-White Miners in Windber during that strike for a historical marker. The coal miners' strike of 1922 turned into a 16-month long unsuccessful strike of Windber miners picketing in front of the company's offices in New York City. The strike resulted in a city inquiry into the company. The form overviews the history of the strike, the proposed text for the marker, and biographical data.
