LECTURES DR. ELLIS W. ROBERTS will deliver remarks on his recent book, The Breaker Whistle Blows, Sunday, February 10, 1985, begin- ning at 3 p.m. at Temple B’nai B’rith, 408 Wyoming Avenue, Kings- ton. This presentation is being spon- sored by the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society. The Breaker Whistle Blows recounts selected highlights of the anthracite coal period between the Avondale Fire in 1869 and the Knox Disaster of 1959. Dr. Roberts’s research of these and intervening disasters has revealed that a power- ful labor champion emerged follow- ing each major disaster. The Avondale Disaster in 1869 claimed the lives of 110 predoni- nantly Welsh men and boys. Ter- ence V. Powderly, a president of the Knights of labor, rose to power after the disaster. Twenty-seven years later the Pittston Twin Shaft cave-in suffocated fifty-eight men and led, in part, to John L. Mitchell’s ascendancy. His successor, John L. Lewis, emerged on the labor scene after the 1919 Baltimore Tunnel Dr. Roberts, the son of an immi- grant miner, is an educator with degrees from the University of Ala- bama and New York University. His research for this book led him to numerous sources throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. It is this trail of research, along with insights gained from writing the. book, about which Dr. roberts will speak. ® For reservations and additional information, please phone the Wyo- _. ming Historical and Geological Society in Wilkes Barre at 823-6244.
