Example text
I a lso read the works of H . Rider Haggard, especially King Solom o n 's Mines and She. I read the Life of Lincoln by Colonel Morgan, and books about the Civil War by various authors whose names I do not now recall. When I tired of reading, I would trap the many rats that infest coal mines. After about two years as a trapper-boy, I went to work as a miner's helper with my father. I now spent the long days digging and loading coal onto a car that held two tons of coal. I was no longer paid an hourly rate, instead I earned my wage on a tonnage basis.
My father was an ardent union man, a trait he brought with him from Wales, and he soon became active in the Knights of Labor. Coal mining in America was no different from what it had been in Wales. Twelve- and even fourteen-hour working days were standard. In fact my father began to wonder if he hadn't made a mistake in coming to America. He told rpe years afterward that the American coal operators were just as greedy and indifferent to human welfare as the Welsh mine owners had been. My father died in April, 1919, at Lorain, Ohio.
They said their wagon was breaking down and they were afraid they could not make i t back down the mountain, and asked if they could leave t h e piano i n o u r parlor for a f e w days until they could get a heavier wagon and better horses. My mother, of course, let them do it and they hauled the beautiful big Chickering piano into our parlor. At that time we had an old-fashioned foot-pump organ that reached to the ceiling with shelves and bric-a-brac. That evening Mother kept the parlor all dark when we came home.
