message: In the lead sentence, Matewan is described as a "company town", meaning that the town was created by a mining company. Are there any source to support this claim? If not, then "company" should be struck from the description of the town. —Farix (t | c) 03:10, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

message: So I looked at the resulted in descriptor:  
| result      = A setback of Miners' rights until the early 1930s when the Government finally recognized American labor unions that eventually led to the passage of the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) of 1933
NIRA had no details on how to handle Labor strife and conflicts. THAT was handled in 1935 with a labor relations act. However, within the next decade we had another world war and being on a union for an industry that helped make steel was the equivalent of being a porcupine in a nudist colony. This article still needs massive reworkingCoal town guy (talk) 13:18, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

message: Hello, I noticed an issue with the spelling of Cabell Testerman. On one of my sources, it is spelled Cable instead of Cabell. Which is the correct spelling? Here's the source where I found the other spelling. http://www.wvculture.org/history/labor/matewan03.html Scarysnake (talk) 19:53, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

message: I'm never heard this talked of as a success for Baldwin-Felts, the victory was pyrrhic at best. They lost 7 a total of seven compared to the town's 3. I think there's got to be a better way to word this. 2601:545:C080:D380:A920:B057:64A4:D02C (talk) 16:58, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
