Why would there be KKK, IWW, pro-Henry Ford, and anti-Harding graffiti all alongside each other in a 1920's mine?

I was watching a video of a guy that explores old mines. One video, in the Tecopa Mines in California, has some pretty incongruous graffiti dated to the 1920's all on a single wooden structure:

  1. "Pres. Harding no good"
  2. "KKK" written vertically on a post.
  3. "Ford for president" which is noted from when Henry Ford was considering running for president in 1924.
  4. "IWW" written vertically on a post.

My question I guess is that these just seem pretty wide ranging political beliefs. Ford was notoriously anti-Union for example, and the KKK and IWW got into violent altercations on occasion and had vastly different ideologies. I supposed in my mind in this era miners would've largely been union supporters.

Would the Ford and KKK graffiti indicate managers or something, while IWW workers? Or were there KKK-supporting Wobblies in the Tecopa Mines who wanted union-busting Henry Ford as president? Or were regular mine workers that divided in ideology?

Kyiv city has been hell for a few hours now. 13 cruise missiles have struck the city, several Geran-3/4/5, several ballistic missiles. The lack of air defense is real sadly. Attack is not over.
