Lattimer Massacre
• Immigrant workers had been agitated for some time for a variety of reasons. For one, coal companies often adopted paternalistic attitudes toward immigrants-some operators believed that the company's wealth and power gave it the right to use and treat workers as they wished.
![Page 63: State Government Pennsylvania. Penn’s Woods About PA Video Segment.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e525503460f94b47e97/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Lattimer Cont’d
When the demonstrators reached Lattimer, they were met again by the Sheriff and a semi-circle of about sixty armed
deputies. The sheriff again ordered the crowd to disperse, but this only served to raise the tension to a boiling point. The
halted march had resulted in confusion, compounded by the fact that many of the marchers spoke different languages.An unknown person yelled "Fire!" and "Give two or three
shots!" The sheriff was later accused of this, but the accusations could not be confirmed by any evidence. The posse opened fire. Fourteen Poles, four Slovaks, and one Lithuanian were killed on the spot. About forty more were wounded, at least six of whom later died of their wounds.

Jack Kehoe
• in the days before Kehoe was to hang, his wife, Maryanne, walked roughly 65 miles from her home in Girardville to the state capitol at Harrisburg to plead with Governor John F. Hartranft to spare Black Jack Kehoe's life. This was the same man who only a few years earlier had claimed victory in the election, thanks in small part, perhaps, to the efforts of Black Jack Kehoe.

Vince Fumo• PHILADELPHIA (AP) - February 7, 2007 -- Powerful state Sen.
Vincent J. Fumo used state workers and a nonprofit group to carry out his personal and political agendas, defrauding taxpayers and others of more than $2 million, a federal indictment charged Tuesday.
• Fumo, 63, regularly deployed state workers to perform a litany of personal chores, from overseeing construction at his 33-room Philadelphia mansion to spying on his ex-wife to working his 100-acre farm near Harrisburg, prosecutors charged.
• Fumo, one of the most powerful figures in Pennsylvania politics, misused $1 million in state resources and another $1 million from the nonprofit neighborhood group he controlled, U.S. Attorney Patrick Meehan said.
• "Because he was delivering large amounts of money to his Philadelphia constituents on one hand, Vincent Fumo felt entitled to reach into the pockets of Pennsylvania taxpayers with the other," Meehan said at a news conference.

The Pennsylvania State Police
• The Pennsylvania State Police was created as an executive department of state government by legislation, Senate Bill 278, signed into law by Governor Samuel W. Pennypacker on May 2, 1905.
• The department became the first uniformed police organization of its kind in the United States and a model for other state police agencies throughout the nation.
• Opposition to the department's creation was strong and persistent. Because of the fear, mostly by organized labor, that the State Police would be used as a private army, the original complement was limited by law to only 228 men. They were to patrol Pennsylvania's entire 45,000 square miles. The force was divided into four Troops:
