Buttons - Unions - 1970s
We're in Here For You, You're Out There For Us
Back in the early 1970s I interviewed several people who were participants or eyewitnesses to the Nov. 11, 1919 Centralia Massacre as well the subsequent 1920 trial in Montesano (a great uncle of mine testified). The fact I was related to people on both sides of this tragic incident, plus those willing to talk to me were looking at the end of their lives and were feeling confessional, gave me a unique and not very admirable view of this blot on Washington State history.
In the course of these interviews, someone gave me this IWW re-issue button.

A diner in Montesano, Washington called the Beehive which has been around since the 1930s and still has an Art Deco look has lots of interesting things on the walls, including this framed decal of Rat Fink by Big Daddy Roth.
Roth and I have a history, as portrayed in my minicomic, Musical Chairs.
By the way, I cannot praise the Beehive enough. A great place to stop for you Puget Sound folks on the way to the coast. Monty, our county seat, is a nice town and worth exploring a bit.
