I would recommend tracking down the book "Lockout : The Story of the Homestead Strike of 1892" by Leon Wolff.

That was WAAAAAAY later. That was after the '04 lockout they went to OLN/VS.

Yep. my second grader brought them home. Got them on everything under the kitchen sink.

Bread of my childhood, right here. Protect this bag at all costs. Frame it. Donate it to the history museum so that future generations can appreciate the Yinzer bread days of yore.

Usually the next of kin of a deceased relative. Sometimes folks lose their jobs and can’t keep up their properties. in most small boroughs it is not going to be a speculator, although, in very rare cases, it might be a large conglomerate out of state that has bought a bunch of houses and can’t move them, but that usually happens in neighborhoods that are “up-and-coming”. sometimes they are bank owned if a homeowner abdicates, and the house is worth less than the mortgage.
