Today in Labor History September 17, 1901: Twenty-five Italian anarchists and their families were terrorized and driven out of town by vigilantes in Guffey Hollow, near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They were miners and the attack came in the wake of the assassination of President McKinnley, by the anarchist Leon Czogosz.

*I say likely without Cannon because after two strikes against her wrt the Special Master, I think it’s unlikely the appeals court will overlook her shitting all over 150 years of Special Counsel precedent.
