Oral history interview with Feeney Busarello, 1975 April 7.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31484744

In this second interview, Feeney Busarello relates in greater depth his experiences as a United Mine Workers organizer in Wyoming and in the captive mine situation in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in the 1920s. With the formation of the CIO, Mr. Busarello was sent into the Steelworkers Organizing Committee by the Mine Workers Union. He organized in Aliquippa, the Beaver Valley, and Homestead, Pennsylvania. He instituted the dues inspection line in Aliquippa, Homestead, and Rankin. When the split came between John L. Lewis and Philip Murray, Mr. Busarello stayed with Murray in the Steelworkers Union. He left Homestead in 1940 and returned to the Beaver Valley. He then went on to York, Pennsylvania, where the large steel local was breaking away from the United Steelworkers Union and leaning toward the American Federation of Labor.
