...refer to the Molly McGuires as "a band of Pennsylvania miners who assassinated fellow workers and bosses alike." I wish to advise that as a student of their history and direct descendant of the county delegate of Schuylkill County, at no time did I ever come across any incident of violence attributable to the Molly McGuires where they were known to have assassinated a fellow worker or boss to gain better pay and working conditions per se.
