Children 14, 15, and 16 were / "too old" to work after they had been in the mines since / their tenth birthday. strike breakers were brought in by the hundreds when miners attempted to win justice ffrom the / owners. The "Molly Maguires" were broken and ten were / hanged after a Pinkerton detective posed as a fugitive to / win their confidence. Evidence produced in the trial in 1875 / was proven false 75 years later.".
