Description:
Barron Beshoar interviews a former miner, who reminisces about his life. At 15 he worked 9-10 hours in the mine for $1.50 per day. He describes his job, working conditions, and accidents he witnessed. He visited other mining camps and notes that ethnic groups got along fine and stuck together. When asked about the time around the Ludlow Massacre, he recalls Mother Jones speaking in a packed union hall and later seeing the blazing fire of the Ludlow camp. Survivors of the massacre came to Aguilar, where a soup kitchen was set up. They got free groceries and stayed with other mining families. He talks about the ensuing violence. His family fled to a friend's goat farm because the militia continued burning mine camps.
