From Donna Sattley,
"My grandfather, Charles Hauser, is far left with the "dunce look" hat on. My grandfather lived in Litchfield. My cousin and I were trying to figure out why he would have been with the two labor leaders. He never worked in the mine but was in the Rotary and Elks Clubs. In his early days he was a farmer and in later years he was the president of the Milnot Company so we're trying to figure out the connection. The only thing I can think of would be maybe if he attended a speaker's seminar at Chautauqua? In later years he donated money to the fund for miners with Black Lung Disease. So I'm not sure where the photo would have been taken but I'm almost 99% sure that's Mother Jones and Terence Powderly. Is there another picture like this around? I have never seen Mother Jones this young so am unsure it is her."
