thanks to sit down next we sit down with author thomas andrews whose book telling for coal and america'siest labor war takes a look at the 1914 massacre during which members of the united mine workers employed by the rockefeller family engaged in a battle that left 19 dead. >> for me what is important to massacre isn't an opportunity to think about just how important the labor movement has been in eric in history, and to think about the sacrifices that the previous generations of american workers have made. the massacre was a violent conflict between striking the coal miners under the united mine workers of america and the state militia. happened in april 1914, and about 20 people were killed on that day. 18 of them were strikers and there was one bystander and one militiamen killed that day. by the early 19 hundreds was dominated by three companies but the biggest was the fuel iron that started as a colorado company that the rockefeller family became the majority shareholder and that was during the course of an earlier violence nasty streak that lasted from 1993 to 1994. so it was one o

coming up next, we sit down with thomas andrews whose book takes a look at a mask of a massacre thatd. >> for me what is so important about the centennial's massacre is that this is an opportunity for how important the labor movement has been in think about the sacrifices that previous generations have made. the ludlow massacre was something that happened in april april 1914. about 20 people were killed on that day, 18 of them were strikers and there was one bystander was killed that day. in the 19 hundreds was dominated by three companies. they started off as a colorado company but in 1903 the rockefeller family became the majority shareholder and that was actually during the worst of an earlier strike that lasted from 1903 21904. by that time they controlled one of the 20 largest industrial worms in the united states. this massive company had dozens of coal mines and ironed all minds. and that was an enormous company. as it was known it was really intent on controlling its workers. one of the main ways that it tried to do that, you know, it was an effective way to suppress labor mi

thomas jefferson. however, there were special circumstances there. he was clearly the victim of ehrenberg. in john quincy adams' case, obtained the majority of votes in the house of representatives, andrew jackson had obtained more popular votes and more electoral college votes. thehat circumstance, jackson people were furious. they were particularly furious at henry clay as well as at hads, because henry clay turned over his house of representatives affiliates, if you will, three states that would do whatever henry clay wanted. henry clay hated jackson. jefferson waske on the record on this, all three andrewe men thought jackson was totally unqualified to be president of the united states by temperament and by experience. so, [indiscernible] thereafter the jackson forces decided they would do everything possible to make sure the john quincy adams accomplished nothing as president. that can happen. [laughter] however, there were some accomplishments. but there are a lot of interesting things that happened too. things is john as president, appointing a delegation to a south american-central american conference to be held in panama, at which the black republic of haiti was to be represent

thomas eric duncan at the texas health presbyterian hospital. duncan later died. the latest health care worker reported a fever yesterday and was immediately isolated at the hospital. we don't know, andrewat he did, what part of the support or -- >> we don't know any of these. >> we don't know where it comes from. whether he cleaned up, whether he was a caregiver. we don't know. >> and one of the things that people keep raise questions on, we talked about yesterday, a second health worker. but we don't have anybody who was in the home with him. remember, there were family members who were in his home with him. >> well, are you positive, they have not been. >> obviously, he was symptomatic when he went to the hospital. so definitely contagious at that point. who knows in the home when he became -- >> right. >> and i think as the virus multiplies, you probably become probably more contagious. >> and symptomatic. >> and the only good news is when you find the early stages, it is easier to treat, supposedly. and we hope that there would be no more. >>> becky has the newsmaker of the morning. >> andrew, thank you very much. our special guest today is larry fink of plaqblackrock. the numbers

thomas duncan's family may sue the dallas hospital where he was treated. 26y nurse nina m. infected when treating duncan, does she have a right to sue the hospital, her employer? judge andrew napolitano will sort out the lawsuits for us. can she sue the hospital? judge napolitano: no. you cannot sue your employer for a work-related injury less the employer intentionally harmed you because the legislature has coopted that by workers' comp. stuart: she says i didn't get proper training with hazmat since then you didn't train me right and now i have the ball. judge napolitano: the keys will be dismissed. in workers' comp she will be compensated theoretically, i don't approve of this but it is the law, she will be compensated for any permanent injury and loss of work unless she can show that her employer intentionally harmed her probably inconceivable here. could duncan sues the hospital? yes. obviously duncan's the state. this hospital acknowledged it was unprepared to treat ebola. it should have not turned him away but sent into a place where they were prepared to treat him so they may well have a case that there damages are limited to their economic loss, not their pain and

president thomas jefferson began a tradition of allowing public access to the presidential mansion during the inauguration. that tradition was most famously celebrated after the swearing in of president andrewrowd of more than 20,000 members of the public invaded the white house. in fact, the secret service didn't even come into existence until nine presidents later. on april 14th, 1865, president abraham lincoln established the agency not to protect the american president but to defend american currency against rampant financial fraud. now if that date seems a little familiar to you, it's because ironically president lincoln was assassinated later that same day. it would take congress another 36 years and the assassination of two more presidents to decide creating a protective fence around the president might be a good idea. teddy roosevelt became the first president to have the full protection. secret service and the first but not the last president guarded by the agency to view the gleaming white columns on the white house more like the bars of a prison cell. roosevelt's dislike of the constant surveillance that came along with the presidency would be echoed. president truman famously ca
