Description:
|
The video starts with a parade in Aguilar and then shows scenes of an outdoor festival with people mingling, talking, and eating. Alex Bisulco talks about an explosion at Southwestern Mine caused by carbide lamps setting off accumulated gas. Fourteen miners were killed. He worked with punching machines for the lignite coal of the northern fields, while in the south they use electric cutter bars. They talk about the time after the Ludlow Massacre, the ignorance of the foreign scab workers, and how things calmed down once federal troops arrived. He has no answer to why no CF&I camps were burned down in 1913. Mr. Pastorelli joins the interview and they discuss the exasperating process for getting Black Lung compensation. Bisulco explains that after big mines shut down in the area, small wagon mines continued. Now there are mostly strip mines.
