Biwabik, Minnesota – Strikers and Striker’s Wife Arrested
From the July 1st edition of The Duluth News Tribune:
From News Tribune of July 4, 1916:
The confrontation took place at the home of striking iron miner, Philip Marsonovich [also known as Nick Masonovich], who was arrested along with strikers Joe Orlandich, Joe Cernogor and Joe Meekech. The men are being held in the Virginia city jail, except for Meekech who is hospitalized for gunshots in the thigh. Mrs. Marsonovich was also arrested and will be charged with murder.
That same edition of the News Tribune further reported:
Carlo Tresca and Joseph Gilday, two of the ring leaders of the I. W. W. gang, who have been engineering a large part of the deviltry of the range, which has developed death and woe, widowed wives and orphaned children, were arrested shortly before 3 o’clock this morning in a hotel at Virginia.
