The Tri-State District Strike Of 1935: How The Pressures Of The Great Depression And Ignorance Of The Wagner Act Led To Violence, Monnie Brewster
The Tri-State District Strike Of 1935: How The Pressures Of The Great Depression And Ignorance Of The Wagner Act Led To Violence, Monnie Brewster
Theory and Practice: HIST430
The Tri-State Miner's Strike of 1935 was a result of attempts to unionize the miners in the area. Because of the strike, Eagle Picher Mining Company formed an illegal company union to begin a back to work movement. The pressures of the Great Depression and the threat of communism caused these remarkable events. Silicosis and social conditions also influenced both labor and management of the Tri-State area. The Great Depression led to national Labor Reform Legislation the Tri-State min operators resisted. Tri-State miners, who had previously resisted union organization, now considered the benefits the union offered. The efforts of union …
Walking The Tightrope: The United States’ Policy In Vietnam, 1952-1954, Erin Flynn
Walking The Tightrope: The United States’ Policy In Vietnam, 1952-1954, Erin Flynn
History & Classics Undergraduate Theses
This thesis demonstrates how the Truman and Eisenhower administrations sought to avoid direct intervention in Indochina and halt the spread of communism at the same time. This purpose is achieved through careful analysis of primary and secondary sources, with a particular focus on the primary documentation found in Foreign Relations of the United States: 1952-1954. Through examination of these day-by-day recordings and memos, the futility of pursuing the two conflicting aims becomes clear.
Labor And Health In The Tri-State Mining Area At The Turn Of The 20th Century, Kara Pittman
Labor And Health In The Tri-State Mining Area At The Turn Of The 20th Century, Kara Pittman
Theory and Practice: HIST430
From the late 1800's continuing through the middle of the 20th century, the tri-state area was a hotbed for the mining industries of materials such as led, zinc, and quarts. Mining camps and boomstowns seemed to pop us over night, and the rust to strike it big seemed to spread faster than wildfire. Through all of this it seemed one of the concerns that least weighed on anyone's minds was concern over the health and general well being of the miners themselves. Diseases such as silicosis and tuberculosis were seen frequently in the miners and often spread to their families. …

Silicosis: Discovery, Treatment, And Prevention Of The Disease In The Tri-State Mining District From 1900-1950, Aubrey Papen
Theory and Practice: HIST430
The mining operation at Picher, Oklahoma was the last successful strike in the Tri-State Area. The Picher Lead Company of Joplin was drilling prospect holes in an isolated farming area somewhere northeast of Commerce, Oklahoma in 1914 and made a rich strike in the area that became known as Picher. The town grew almost overnight as miners and their families flooded into the area to be a part of one of the most successful mines in the area. One Daily Oklahoman correspondent called Picher the "last bonanza" of the Tri-State District and said it was fitting that the district's colorful …
Slave Labor: The Taft-Hartley Act And The Tri-State Mining District, Sally Miller-Downing
Slave Labor: The Taft-Hartley Act And The Tri-State Mining District, Sally Miller-Downing
Theory and Practice: HIST430
Before World War II, there was an unstable atmosphere to the industrial sector of the United States economy. As World War II began the industries settled down, and the production of means for the war boomed, as the employees joined together against the Axis powers. After the war, the sense of duty that many union members felt disappeared and the mining industries began to reveal extensive problems with labor relations. Because of these two factors, the Taft-Hartley act was compiled through a joint committee in June 1947. In the act, there were many provisions made to protect both the employer …

Theory and Practice: HIST430
The purpose of the railroad is to connect-people to places, commodity to consumer, all the while building a network of relationships. In the Tri-State Mining District, the area railroads served the local mining industry by hauling the ore concentrate to the purchasing smelter. Both industries worked to support the Tri-State area, despite governmental intervention and economic downturns Throughout the early to min-1900s, Tri-State District railroads connected to the mining industry, endured the government, and steamed into the future.
Doctor For Me? No Sir-E! Common Diseases That Miners Faced During The Early 1900s, Alicia Hansen
Doctor For Me? No Sir-E! Common Diseases That Miners Faced During The Early 1900s, Alicia Hansen
Theory and Practice: HIST430
Today, going to the doctor is about as eventful as going to the bank. We get check-ups once a year and make a visit every time we get a sniffle, but during the late part of the nineteenth century and early part of the twentieth century people were more reluctant to step foot in the doctor's office in fear of what the diagnosis might be. During the time where you could find an ad for cigarettes in medical journals or buy Adrenalin shots out of a catalog, people did not put their health as their number one priority whether it …
"Looking As Wise As A Tree Full Of Owls": The Tri-State Mining District's Criminal Ring Disrupts Growth, Efficiency, And Stability Of Society In 1918, Sylvia Rusk
Theory and Practice: HIST430
During the year 1918, the criminal ring of the Tri-State mining district was at an all time high. Criminals like Dan Isley, Cedar Red, Harold Pickett, Jimmie Gardner, and the corrupt deputy Sheriff George Gibson terrorized the citizens of Picher, Oklahoma and the surrounding mining towns. These men were solely responsible for bringing and allowing a drug peddling circuit, prostitution, and bootlegging of illegal whiskey and liquor. During the criminal trusts height, the local newspapers of J.J. Shepherd displayed the truths of the illegal actions. These local publications gave the other side of the stories that the corrupt sheriff and …

Defeating Silicosis: Aluminum Therapy's Impact On Industry, Travis Irion
Defeating Silicosis: Aluminum Therapy's Impact On Industry, Travis Irion
Theory and Practice: HIST430
At its peak, Silicosis was defined as the most important industrial disease of the twentieth century. This disease was extremely widespread and affected almost every major industry involved with processing hard rock. Several factors led to the dissemination of this disease among the laborers of the world, especially, the lack of knowledge and understanding of the causes of silicosis and means of its prevention. As industry developed and technology progressed, industry and science made significant advances towards understanding and eliminating silicosis from the factories and mines of the world. This disease's eradication, however, required the cooperation of all affected. Proper …
