DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn a spring morning in 1914, in the stark foothills of southern Colorado, members of the United Mine Workers of America clashed with guards employed by the Rockefeller family, and a state militia beholden to Colorado’s industrial barons. When the dust settled, nineteen men, women, and children among the miners’ families lay dead. The strikers had killed at least thirty men, destroyed six mines, and laid waste to two company towns. Killing for Coal offers a bold and original perspective on the 1914 Ludlow Massacre and the “Great Coalfield War.” In a sweeping story of transformation that begins in the coal beds and culminates with the deadliest strike in American history, Thomas Andrews illuminates the causes and consequences of the militancy that erupted in colliers’ strikes over the course of nearly half a century. He reveals a complex world shaped by the connected forces of land, labor, corporate industrialization, and workers’ resistance. Brilliantly conceived and written, this book takes the organic world as its starting point. The resulting elucidation of the coalfield wars goes far beyond traditional labor history. Considering issues of social and environmental justice in the context of an economy dependent on fossil fuel, Andrews makes a powerful case for rethinking the relationships that unite and divide workers, consumers, capitalists, and the natural world.

Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ...same general inclination of the seam on the side of the saddle to be mined, and when it reaches the seam, to continue it in the seam to the desired depth.. '-'hen the seam does not outcrop on the surface, and it can be opened by a shaft that will, in the case of an inclined seam, reach the coal at its lowest level and about in the center of the strike of the seam, or when the seam is fiat a shaft will cut it nearly in the center of the coal bed, such an opening is the only kind practicable. Drifts.--The height of a drift depends largely on the thickness and inclination of the seam. When possible, the height should be from 6 ft. to 7 ft. in the clear. To obtain such a height in a flat thin seam or a thin seam 0'1 light pitch requires the brushing down of top or blowing up of bottom. This adds considerable to the cost of driving the drift, and the extent to which it should be done must be determined by conditions at the mine. In a thick seam or one having a heavy pitch a height of about 7 ft. in the clear is best. The width of a drift depends on the width of the mine cars used, the thickness and inclination of the coal seam, the character of the top and bottom, and whether the drift is to be single or double tracked. It must have suilicient width to provide clearance for the mine car, with enough room on one side to provide for a drainage ditch and enough additional space for men to pass mine cars without danger of being crushed against the rib. If the seam is a comparatively thin one lying at considerable inclination it will be necessary to do some rock work to provide the required width. If the seam is a thick one, or is of such light pitch that the desired width can be secured in coal, the character of the top and bottom.will...
