Description:
A family talks about the discrimination of foreign workers and dangers coal miners faced (explosions and accidents), often from the bosses lack of due diligence. Mr. Bazanele gives examples of mining work and what life was like, including the happy times. Under tears, however, he tells all his memories of the Ludlow Massacre and emphasizes that many more people would have died if the train master had not warned the miners to evacuate the camp. He did not fight at that incident, but later joined clashes at other mines and tracked down General Chase in Trinidad with other armed men. He admits that there are many stories about these violent days and the truth is hard to determine. Then he gives details about mining machinery and processes. Finally, the family talks about present-day mining with eight-hour work days, increased safety concerns, and women miners.
