Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 104, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 May 1915 — Strike to Play Ball. [ARTICLE]

Strike to Play Ball.

1,200 men and boys were thrown out of work at the Maxwell colliery of the Lehigh Wilkesbarre Coal Co., when 100 door bdys and patchers decided to strike in order to play ball in the afternoon. The boys took this action as a result of Sunday ball no longer being permitted. The officials of the company were unable to reach an agreement. \
