520    On an August morning in 1877, a dispute over wages 
       exploded between miners and coal company owners. A furious
       mob rushed down Lackawanna Avenue only to be met by a 
       deadly hail of bullets. With its vast coal fields, mills 
       and rail lines, Scranton became a hotbed for labor 
       activity. Many were discontented by working endless and 
       dangerous hours for minimal pay. The disputes mostly ended
       in losses for labor, but after a strike that lasted more 
       than one hundred days, John Mitchell helped win higher 
       wages, a shorter workday and better working conditions for
       coal miners. The legendary 1902 Anthracite Coal Strike 
       Commission hearings began in Scranton, where famed lawyer 
       Clarence Darrow championed workers' rights. Local authors 
       Margo and Marnie Azzarelli present this dramatic history 
       and its lasting legacy.
