Description:
A retired miner talks about his life, from the 1929 strike lock-down of Sunnyside, Utah, to running his livestock business, to being stationed in Japan. After the war, he worked in Sunnyside as a coke oven operator and mechanic. In 1968 he moved to Dawson and was an elected official in the U.M.W.A for about ten years. They come to the memorial for miners killed in the two mine explosions, 1913 and 1921. They see Italian and Greek names on the markers, and he expresses his pride in America with its multi-ethnic population and opportunities. They talk about wages and he explains that young miners are easily hired now that work conditions have improved. He is convinced that coal mining will be revived.
