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.
