I may have mentioned this before, but ran across this old newspaper stuff, which I think is from Arkansas City, Kansas. There is a lot of information on the 1922 nationwide RR shopcraft strike, which tore communities apart for decades and ultimately led to the Railway Labor Act of 1926, really the first law that gave American workers any rights. Interesting reading..
