I thought it was Farmers Using Calculated Knowledge

 

Good morning to all recent arrivals...


Stan, as far as I'm concerned those old boys earn every damn dollar they get.


After being evicted from "company housing", many of the miners had no place else to go and camped in tents where they would dig pits below ground level inside so the snipers couldn't shoot them while they and their family slept at night

 

that too

 

HaHa Larry - Thought maybe I would tone it down by one letter....... :-))

 

The miners not got any respect ... They're were treated as a means to an end, further lining the pockets of the boys who played them for all they were worth. Company stores! Yep, whose prices were designed to "enslave" the miners forever.

 

 

 

Kinda interesting - from WIKI....
The Battle of Blair Mountain was the largest labor uprising in United States history and one of the largest, organized, and well-armed uprisings since the American Civil War.[1] For five days in late August and early September 1921, in Logan County, West Virginia, some 10,000 armed coal miners confronted 3,000 lawmen and strikebreakers, called the Logan Defenders,[2] who were backed by coal mine operators during an attempt by the miners to unionize the southwestern West Virginia coalfields. The battle ended after approximately one million rounds were fired,[3] and the United States Army intervened by presidential order.[4]

 

Only on TOAK does one receive this type of backgrounding in American History !
