Description
Gus Jaderlund talks about migrating from New Mexico to Roslyn, Washington, circa 1902. He explains how he began working in the mines at 17 years of age, circa 1916. He describes a typical work day in the coal mines, health hazards, system of payment, mining technology and practices. He talks about the Western Miners strike, circa 1933, actions by women on the picket line, and the closing of the mines in 1963.
