Description:
|
Retired coal miners discuss early 20th-century coal mining in Las Animas County: the transition from mules to mechanized equipment; the boom-and-bust when natural gas displaced coal; the 1913-1914 strike, the IWW, U.M.W.A, and unionization. Women and children marched to liberate Mother Jones from the hospital. Strip mines may take over coal production in the area, and members worry about population growth and land restoration. The black lung may have worsened after mechanization increased the amount of coal dust. This group of Yugoslavs and Italians describes positive relations with other Hispanic and Anglo co-workers. Mrs. Dunning describes early 20th-century coal towns, which endured hard times, but where many families managed to enjoy good lives despite poverty. Neighbors cooperated, and people raised livestock & hunted for food. The interviewees describe company towns and the uniformity of miners' houses.
