It\u2019s interesting, and occasionally soothing. As bad as today\u2019s headlines are, we have been through bad times before.\r\n<p>Anyway, one hundred years ago today, the big headline across the country was the coal miner\u2019s strike: something close to 400,000 miners downed tools. It\u2019s the banner headline across the country. The story turns out to be important in the history of, oh, the Palmer Raids, the AFL, Bolshevism, race-relations\u2026 anyway, it\u2019s a big story nationwide.\r\n<p>As I browsed through the front pages for the day, I was really intrigued by the headlines in the non-English dailies, of which there were many. And I made this collage:\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/11\/Nov1919coalstrike.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/11\/Nov1919coalstrike.jpg\" alt=\"Headlines from non-English US Newspapers about the coal strike, 1 November 1919\" width=\"860\" height=\"840\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-20140\" \/><\/a>\r\n<p>The headlines are all from 1 November 1919, of course, from the following newspapers:\r\n<p>La prensa. [The Press] (San Antonio, Tex.)<br>Sve\u030ct [World] (Cleveland, Ohio) <br>Lietuva. [Lithuania] (Chicago, Ill.) <br>L'Italia. [The Italian Daily News] (San Francisco, Calif.) <br>El Tucsonense. [The Tusconian] (Tucson, Ariz.) <br>Dziennik Chicagoski. [Chicago Diary] (Chicago [Ill.] <br>Draugas. [Lithuanian Daily Friend] (Chicago, Ill.)\r\n<p>I\u2019m not making any particular point. I just think it\u2019s an interesting world we live in, is all.\r\n<p><I>Tolerabimus quod tolerare debemus,<\/I><br>-Vardibidian.\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Which Your Humble Blogger knows there are plenty of non-English news organizations in the US doing fine journalism today, but I don't see 'em.","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[202],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-item"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20139"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20139\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20141,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20139\/revisions\/20141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
