Description:
|
A retired coal miner talks about his mining days, which began when he was 15 years old. He worked at numerous mines, wherever there was work, mostly as a mule team driver. He expounds on work hours, his pay, lunch pails, and meeting Mr. Rockefeller. Winters were spent in tents with wooden floors and a stove and miners miners worked ten hours per day. In the summer there was little mining work. Miners took on other jobs and families went into debt. He explains digging and loading procedures and talks about the dangers of mining the gassy plain mines of central Colorado. He recalls explosions in Monarch, Hastings, and Berwind mines. He gives a brief description of the events surrounding the Ludlow Massacre, at which he was shot. Convinced that only with a union would miners improve their situation, he did some organizing in Wyoming and was blacklisted for 2 years.
