http://schema.org/description
- "This series provides an account of the causes and effects of a labor strike and the role of the National Guard in maintaining order. Virtually all the correspondence is addressed to Governor Wells who, as governor, was also commander-in-chief of the National Guard. The main issue in the strike was Utah Fuel Company's refusal to recognize the United Mine Workers right to represent miners."
- "These records provide an account of the causes and effects of a strike and the role of the National Guard in maintaining order. A labor conflict between striking coal mine workers and the Utah Fuel Company in Scofield, Winter Quarters, Castle Gate, Sunnyside, and Clear Creek resulted in an atmosphere that threatened to become violent. The sheriff of Carbon County, notified Governor Heber M. Wells that he and other law enforcement agents needed assistance to maintain the peace. In response, Governor Wells issued a proclamation calling out the Guard on November 23, 1903. The papers consist largely of letters, telegrams, and minutes. Much of the correspondence was with Governor Wells. As governor, Wells was also commander-in-chief of the National Guard. Other correspondence is between Adjutant General Charles S. Burton and Brigadier General John Q. Cannon. Less frequent correspondents include other Guard officers, Utah Fuel Company staff and owners, Carbon County officials and citizens, the Italian Counsel, the Coal Mine Inspector, miners, and others."
