An Illinois Coal-Digger
Coleman, McAlister | March 25, 1925 issue

add to cart   close window

The author presents an account of a meeting with Albert Schott, one of the bravest mine worker from Illinois who fought for the rights of other laborers, and who died of tuberculosis. The discussion between them was mostly based on the labor movement in the U.S., the nationalization of the mines, the details of the ilerrin trials, the prospects for the miners swinging in behind the third-party movement. In all that he wrote, whether in personal correspondence or in his lively letters to the "Illinois Miner," Saint Louis Labor, or other labor papers, Sehott never once shed a tear of self-pity.
