Today in Labor History July 6, 1889: Striking construction workers in Duluth were shot down by the police. The workers, mostly immigrants, went on strike when contractors reneged on an agreement to pay them $1.75 a day. Mayor John Sutphin ordered police to keep strikers away from scabs, leading to fighting between strikers and police. There was an hour-long gun fight on the corner of 20th Avenue West and Michigan Street that killed two strikers and one bystander and wounded an estimated 30 strikers. The police eventually suppressed the strike through violence.

Movers arrive today. For as much as I’ve moved this is probably the biggest and most stressful one of all. I think it’s because it’s the first time we’re actually selling the house versus renting and moving into something that’s the same size. We are definitely downsizing and trying to get all of that figured out while working and getting prepared for the movers has been a lot. But today is the day! We are getting packed today and the truck is getting loaded on Monday and then we will hit the road on our way to #duluth #minnesota And honestly, I am so excited! #moving

I do not miss this one bit. Said #Minnesota native.
