Today in labor history September 06 killing 110 miners - 1869

September 06

One of the worst disasters in the history of U.S. anthracite mining occurred at the Avondale Mine, near Scranton, Pa., when a fire, originating from a furnace at the bottom of a 237 foot shaft, roared up the shaft, killing 110 miners - 1869
