Friday, June 29nd, 2012/Weekend Calendar

THIS HISTORY OF JUNE 29th. Today in 1936: Jesús Pallares, the founder of the 8,000-member coal miner’s union, Liga Obrera de Habla Esaola, is deported as a so-called "undesirable alien."

One hundred miners were arrested during the 1934 strike against the Gallup American Company in New Mexico. La Liga, whose influence spread across northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, was able to force the authorities to abandon legal proceedings against those arrested but was unable to prevent Pallares' deportation.
