"The coal is hard, and accidents to the hands, such as cut, broken, or crushed fingers, are common among the boys. Sometimes
there is a worse accident: a terrified shriek is heard, and a boy is mangled and torn in the machinery, or disappears in the
chute to be picked out later smothered and dead. Clouds of dust fill the breakers and are inhaled by the boys, laying the
foundations for asthma and miners' consumption.

Wasn't isn't then. Thank God for Mr. Spargo to write it down.

richard milhous nixon (january 9, 1913 – april 22, 1994) was the 37th president of the united states, serving from 1969 to 1974, when he became the only president to resign (quit). he is also known for corruption and the watergate scandal which resulted in the public losing trust in him and his resignation.

during the 20th century, the role of the vice president has evolved into more of an executive branch position. now, the vice president is usually seen as an integral part of a president's administration and presides over the senate only on ceremonial occasions or when a tie-breaking vote may be needed.
