Description:
|
A family talks about their coal mining days when violence and corruption was rampant and the United Mine Workers Union struggled to improve their quality of life. Looking through photographs, they recall the Ludlow Massacre, other mines and tent camps, armed rallies with Mother Jones and John Lawson, murdered miners, and corrupt bosses and union people. The Ku Klux Klan, whose members included the Governor of Colorado, was openly attacking immigrant miners, who were already discriminated at work for not knowing the English language. Mention is made of the company store, federal soldiers, and the FBI investigating the strike of 1927. The role of mules in hauling coal is described. After 1954 things got better because the unions gained more power but before that, the lives of coal miners meant hard work and having to submit to "cruel" treatment.
