That site took the article right off of the Macoupin County ILGenWeb site. I DO HAVE written permission to use it. They didn't even ask if they could use it!!! Think I will go shake some trees. http://www.macoupinctygenealogy.org/mines/m_vhmin2.html Gloria At 07:10 PM 7/30/2009, you wrote: >Wayne, > >Victor Hicken has written a lot about the mine workers and Pearcy is >mentioned in one of his articles. > >http://www.kentlaw.edu/ilhs/hicken01.htm > >A simple google search turned up the above.

Gloria Don't ruffle the feathers yet.  Here's what I see on the situation of the article - There is a clause at the bottom of the Illinois Labor History Society's page as - NOTICE: This material may be freely used by non-commercial entities for educational and/or research purposes as long as this message remains on all copied material. These electronic pages cannot be reproduced in any format for profit or other presentation without the permission of The Macoupin County ILGenWeb Project. Since the Society is an educational entity it can reproduce the article and as the clause states has included the clause on the same page.  Per copyright guidelines this is all permissible. If the Society's webmaster would have changed the format or if the Society would have reprinted the article and sold it or used it at meetings then your permission as coordinator would have been required. Thus, the Illinois Labor History Society has done no wrong although it would have been considerate on their part had they consulted you first before including it on their website or just have made reference to it in a link which would have taken the site visitor to IL Gen Web's Macoupin Co site.
