A fact from Coeur d'Alene miners' dispute appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 31 March 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that on April 29, 1899, trade unionists in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho killed two men by steering an explosives-laden train to the site of a mill, in order to protest the firing of fellow union members?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/March.

Wikipedia

Sources, and 1892 deaths

First, i'm not satisfied with the sources for the substantial changes i've made. I hope to obtain more sources in the near future to supplement/verify these accounts.

Second, there is something puzzling about deaths in the Earl Clark article. Here's a chronology:

Two company men were killed at the Frisco mine.

One company (non-union) man was killed at the Gem mine, while crossing a footbridge.

Three men were reported as a total of union men killed.

Three union men and two company men were buried.

These numbers don't add up, unless the man crossing the footbridge, alleged to have been killed by union gunfire, was actually one of the three union men. (Was he then, perhaps, killed by company gunfire?)

Peter Carlson states in Roughneck that no one was killed when the Frisco mine was blown up. He states that at the end of the day, there were a total of two dead.

Further exploration required, i think. Richard Myers 14:03, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Evolution of this article

This article was originally about two separate, but related incidents. Linking was becoming awkward.

I have split the two incidents into two additional articles. In my view, these two separate articles should eventually be the link destinations from most other articles. There are nearly forty links that need to be re-assigned, and i'll start on that soon.

With an appropriately-timed change of name, this article could eventually evolve into a general article about the history of labor, and labor struggles, in the Coeur d'Alene area. Richard Myers (talk) 22:39, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aftermath section divided, apportioned to incident articles and to Western Federation of Miners and Labor spies. Richard Myers (talk) 00:21, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Coeur d'Alene miners' dispute/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

This article seems to have enough information to be worthy of at least a B rating, but since it does not have any pictures I have given it a C. I have also added a photo request to the talk page. I rated it as low importance for WikiProject Idaho, but I did not give it an importance rating for WikiProject Disaster management or WikiProject Mining as I am not familiar with those projects. It was already given an importance rating of "mid" for WikiProject Organized Labour. --Andrew Kelly (talk) 04:33, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
