In 1903, Lawson and four other union organizers had their homes dynamited a week before Christmas. He would later be a vice-president and director of the Rocky Mountain Fuel Co, the second largest coal producer in Colorado. In case you are wondering, he didn't sell out. Rocky Mountain Fuel Co was owned by a Josephine Roche, who inherited the company from her father. She was pro-union and invited the UMW to staff the mine, making her a pariah among mine owners who had successfully busted the unions in 1914. Her miners were the most productive in the land.seedyjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10353797905167318100noreply@blogger.com
