Description:
|
Interviewers are casually talking to residents they meet in Cokedale. Then they sit down with a miner who recounts his emigration from Italy and working in a copper mine at age 15. He talks about looking for mining jobs, fatal mine accidents, and how the Ku Klux Klan was active. He also describes his timbering work in the mines. In 1933, with the election of Roosevelt, the UMW union was finally allowed to organize. He served as vice president of the union local. Cokedale was the nicest kept camp in the area and he liked living there. He shares what he experienced in France in WWII and tells of the violent attacks on union members.
