Today in Labor History Sept 29, 3 members of the UMW shot to death by RCMP, strike 4 better housing!

September 29

September 29, 1931 - Three members of the United Mine Workers of America were shot to death by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police near Estevan, Saskatchewan. They had been taking part in a strike for better housing.

A report by the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics finds that the average weekly take home pay of a factory worker with three dependents is now $94.87 - 1962
