In 1897, a large number of Carpatho-Rusyns, being led by the more western Europeans among them including 'Big Mary' Septak, went on strike and marched unarmed to their workplaces demanding fair treatment from obstinate mine owners. At the endof the day, nineteen were shot dead or were mortally wounded.  In1898 there was a trial involving racial issues. C-RS member Dan Bavolack, who was born and grew up in the area, will speakand present pictures and a few maps, assembled with the help of C-RS member, Jim Huratiak.
