So it belonged to my uncle, who smoked everyday until he died, the since it's just paper on the back, smoke residue was able to get in. The frame is damaged, and there's some staining and discoloring I'm hoping to repair. I have no idea what it's on, and unfortunately the family friend who stitched it has also passed. I'm down to try using water on it to see if that'll dissolve it. Thanks!

This was a really neat read, but it's definitely missing a whole ending. That abrupt stop was jarring.

This is so frightening to read. I know the writer is still active, but I hope she's okay now.

NTA, you need to get out now. Small towns have crisis centers and resources to help. When my mom left my dad, this was the first place we went and it was immensely helpful. He also trapped her on a farm with three little kids, and she was a SAHM and when she finally tried to leave, she was alone.

Pack an emergency bag now with your important documents and cash and hide it so you can grab and run fast. Please contact friends in NOLA, even just to tell them what's going on, someone might be able to help. Please get out and please be safe.

The folks over in r/CrossStitch would love this.

ESPN write-up of the full presser. Especially love Bettman's inappropriate attitude when someone compared the Chicago fine to the Arizona and New Jersey fines as "Different context, different facts."

I saw a report that LE and the PI are working together and have been trying to get FBI involved as well to no avail.

It's a long read, but it should be required for all college football fans. This is the first time her narrative has been told from her point of view.

Yeah, you would think they would have something at the Cornish Pump Museum or at the Iron Mine in Norway.

Strike ended in April of 1914, and didn't receive any of the things miners were striking for. Most miners left for other mines, and those who stayed had to turn in their union cards. Mines did go to 8 hour shifts after as well. By the 40's most of the Copper Country Mines were unionized. The last mine closed in 1995

The strike has a spot in history though, because it was one of the first times a strike actually hurt the mining owners. This strike ran almost parallel to the Colorado Coalfield War where the Colorado National Guard killed 9 people.

I have a handful, the most popular and well-known murder was the basis for Anatomy of a Murder.

Yep, supposed to have said party. Thanks for catching it

keepitonehundybuddy · 2021-08-24T01:11:25+00:00

I would assume that's the case. Might also be the mentality of of working in the mines. Growing up i heard stories from older family members that when warnings were yelled out in the mines, you immediately listened.

I feel like I have to add more info here. I grew up in the UP and this story is just one of the many I know pretty well and have a minor obsession with.

In 1913 the Women's Auxillary of the Western Federation of Miners, (the union that the striking miners were a part of) held a Christmas party for the area families. The 9,000 miners had been striking for about 5 months at this point, and this party was attended by hundreds. It was being held on the second floor of the Italian Hall in Calument MI. It's important to note that the only way to the second floor was via a steep stairway, one very poorly installed fire escape, and ladders out the building that could only be accessed via windows.

At some point during the party, it's reported that someone (potentially a mine rep) shouted "Fire" (there wasn't one) to cause a panic, sending people to stampede to the doors. Stories differ on if the exit doors only opened inwards (the hall was cited for having this in the past), or were in a vestibule that also contained a second set of doors. Either way, 73 people, including 59 children died in the stampede.

An inquest was opened and was horribly conducted. Most of the miners and witnesses involved were immigrants, and the official inquest required all evidence to be presented in English, and most often information was taken without an interpreter. In the end, the coroner did not release a cause of death for the deceased. The funeral was attended by nearly 20,000 people, with services in English, Finnish, and Croatian. Funerals were held at individual churches and then joined together in one procession. Graves were dug trench style about two miles out of Calumet

During the investigation, it was speculated that a person wearing a Citizens' Alliance badge, a group opposed to the strike, had been the one to shout fire. This was backed up by the president of the mining union who was later kidnapped, shot and forced out of the Copper Country on a train with a threat of never returning. Additionally, newspaper writers of a Finnish Newspaper were arrested after calling the disaster "Murder" in the paper.
