[#242] THE GHOST OF MOLLY MAGUIRE, Part Two: Labor, Capital, and Blood on the Tracks
🕑 Added 2025-03-27 23:30:00 +0000 UTCDimitri and Khalid dive into the heart of the Molly Maguire story in 1870s Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, including: the simultaneous rise of the first successful labor union for miners (Irish-Catholic John Siney's Workingmen's Benevolent Association) and the charismatic Irish-American (Protestant) industrialist wunderkind Franklin B. Gowen, Gowen's sinister HOTGAF plans for the Reading Railroad (crushing the independent owner-operators, bribing the State Senate, price-gouging everyone, implying the WBA is controlled by a murderous global Irish-Catholic cabal), the brutal Long Strike of 1875, bloody clashes between Irish workers and Nativist "vigilance committee" death squads, the two-year infiltration of Irish Pinkerton detective James McParlan into the innermost circles of the Molly Maguires, and more.
