Not Appalachia, but there’s a fair amount of research on the Ludlow Massacre in Colorado. Similar dynamics, I’d imagine, in a lot of ways.
Little known fact, it was the first use (I think) of an armored car, and the creation of Rockefeller Plaza was part of the Rockefeller family damage control.
You’d think I’d know more about Appalachia, though, my great great grandfather started in America as a coal miner in SE PA. Ended up getting transferred to clerk in the company store after he developed sudden-onset claustrophobia after getting caught in a mine collapse.
