Awesome article. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 18:37, 7 April 2008 (CDT):''But''... do you mind if I de-Anglicize the word "organise"? :) --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 10:13, 8 April 2008 (CDT)::Yeah, sorry, I tried to go back and anglicise (ize) things. Force of habit. '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 08:42, 9 April 2008 (CDT) ==Notes=====Dramatis personæ===*[[G. C. McCain]] - President of the local branch of the AASEREA.*[[Alexander Sarra]] - secretary of the local branch of the AASEREA. If a worker was suspended by the company (without pay) that worker had to report to the company 3 times a day. Sarra says: "We [the striking workers] claim the rights of free men to earn what we can during such time , or , if our circumstances permit , to remain in our homes." Pensacola Journal, 7 April 1908[http://historyandhistorians.blogspot.com/]*[[John W. Leadley]] - manager, Pensacola Electric Company*[[W. A. Blount, Sr.]] - counsel for Pensacola Electric Company ==Categories==We probably need to create a category for this. Something fairly broad -- I don't know if we've had enough strikes to justify a [[:Category:Worker strikes|Worker strikes]] category. (Though I'll need to look through [http://www.angelfire.com/fl5/pensacolahistory/ this] again to be sure.) What about [[:Category:Events|Events]] > [[:Category:Demonstrations & unrest|Demonstrations & unrest]]? Then it could be grouped with the [[Escambia High School riots]]. Thoughts/suggestions? --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 08:05, 7 March 2008 (CST):Works for me. '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 08:34, 7 March 2008 (CST) ==April 6 story==Joe, I've just transcribed a story about the first day of the strike (April 6, 1908). Thought you'd get a kick out of it. My favourite line is "There was a good deal of anger displayed at this juncture, and more than one pair of brass knuckles was surreptitiously handled." I've uploaded the file as a .doc here: [http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=4982740169&realattid=f_fdj7k71e0&attid=0.1&disp=attd&view=att&th=1188af5c741ca861] '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 14:38, 7 March 2008 (CST):I wasn't able to download the document, but I do enjoy old-timey newspaper talk. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 16:14, 7 March 2008 (CST)::Eh I thought that might not work. If you like I'll email it to you as an attachment. I'd post it here, but it's a long article (1100+ words) and I don't really think it has a place.
