191536550Colorado 1915. 5-1/2" x 8-3/4". Printed form on pink paper completed in ink manuscript two holes punched at top. Very Good. <br /> <br /> Ernest George Ahl age 19 born in Sweden and residing at 214 No. 4 St. Victor lists his occupation as trammer and claims eleven months' experience at Stratton's Independence Mine. He recites that he has never been a member of the Western Federation of Miners or a member of any labor organization. He states that he is "in sympathy with the objects and purposes of the Miners' Protective Association. . . and will abide by and observe the Constitution and By-Laws as may be prescribed by its Executive Committee." He signs the document. On the verso are additional notes regarding his application. <br /> The Stratton Independence Mine & Mill was located in the Cripple Creek Mining District in Victor Colorado on the south slope of Battle Mountain. Named after Winfield Scott Stratton who discovered the mine on July 4 1891 it was site of the first major strike in the Cripple Creek/Victor area. The disputes led to the formation of the Western Federation of Miners in 1893. Tensions between management and workers escalated into the Colorado Labor Wars of 1903. The Miners' Protective Association formed in Virginia City in May 1863 opposed pending wage cuts and created a benefit fund for sick and injured miners and their families. By 1912 it had established an office in Cripple Creek which was made up of both employers and employees.

19163385Cripple Creek and Denver Co 1916. Very good. Eight partially-printed forms completed in manuscript. Minor wear and soiling. A collection of seven applications for membership in the Miners' Protective Association and one application for the Western Federation of Miners all filled out by prospective members in the early 20th century. The applicants range in age from 23 to 59 and were born in a wide variety of locations including several midwestern states Canada and England. They report varying levels of mining experience from four to forty years with one applicant reporting no experience having worked previously as a rancher. None of the men were members of any other labor organization at the time of their applications. Interestingly the Miners' Protective Association and the Western Federation of Miners worked at cross purposes from each other. The former was a cooperative association formed by mining companies in order to discourage the unionizing of workers; the Western Federation of Miners was a notable labor union that had previously participated in widely-reported and violent strikes in Cripple Creek in 1894 and 1903.<br /> <br /> The forms themselves echo the competing motivations of the two groups. The application for the MPA asks applicants if they are or ever have been members of the Western Federation of Miners or any other labor organization. The Western Federation of Miners' application asks applicants if they have ever taken the place of strikers been a scab or assisted law enforcement or the Pinkerton Agency with opposing organized labor. An additional point of interest on the Western Federation of Miners application is the implication that the applicant is African American. The applicant William Judson reports his complexion as "Dark." People of color working as miners was rare in the west though certainly not unheard of. unknown
