Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Immigrant and Coal Mining Communities of Illinois The shortage Of supply and the high prices have brought discon tent on the part of the public and the demand is general that mine operators and miners should consider the interest Of the public in any policy adopted. This con ict of feeling has developed in Illinois as well as in other states and other nations. Radical solutions have been suggested from various quarters. The alien character of the population, while probably in no case the cause, is in many of these towns an added complication in the discussions. It was therefore believed that the basic facts about the population, housing, educa tional Opportunities, and general social conditions of the immigrant population in these mining towns of Illinois should be known.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 5, 1918, as American troops fought German forces on the Western Front, German American coal miner Robert Prager was hanged from a tree outside Collinsville, Illinois, having been accused of disloyal utterances about the United States and chased out of town by a mob. In Labor, Loyalty, and Rebellion: Southwestern Illinois Coal Miners and World War I, Carl R. Weinberg offers a new perspective on the Prager lynching and confronts the widely accepted belief among labor historians that workers benefited from demonstrating loyalty to the nation. The first published study of wartime strikes in southwestern Illinois is a powerful look at a group of people whose labor was essential to the war economy but whose instincts for class solidarity spawned a rebellion against mine owners both during and after the war. At the same time, their patriotism wreaked violent working-class disunity that crested in the brutal murder of an immigrant worker. Weinberg argues that the heightened patriotism of the Prager lynching masked deep class tensions within the mining communities of southwestern Illinois that exploded after the Great War ended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thirty-Fifth Annual Coal Report of Illinois: State Mining Board, 1916 The year ended June 30, 1916, broke all records of the coal mining industry of Illinois. The total output in Short tons is a gain of tons over 1914, which, up to the present year, had the greatest production in the history of the industry in this State. The increased production over last year is tons, or more than per cent. This increase is due to the fact that there were 24 more mines in Operation, 312 more men employed and that the working time was increased from 158 to 163 days. The average daily earnings of miners, where hand mining was done exclusively, is while last, year this class Of employees earned a daily wage of An increase of five cents a day for the machine men and loaders in exclusive machine mines will be seen. The average earnings for the year of miners in hand mines is a gain over last year Of Machine men and loaders in exclusive machine mines, earned an average of more than last year. During the year 165 men lost their lives and were injured, so as to lose 30 or more days time, while attending to their duties in and about the mines. It is very gratifying to be able to state that the mining industry is being placed on a higher plane, the; mines are undergoing improvements along modern and scientific lines, wash-houses for the men erected, train ing in rescue and first aid work maintained and accelerated, and the work of the State Inspectors is more efficient and scientific.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Grapple: A Story of the Illinois Coal Region There are two courses open to the writer of today who loves to chronicle a good, rousing fight: he may take to the pages of history and the swashbuckling romance, or he may study the economic warfare of our own day, which has its equivalent for every detail of that earlier strife. The author of "The Grapple" has tried her hand at the writing of historical fiction. In discussing some literary material with a young friend who wished to have her opinion upon it, the story which follows made itself. Mr. Vond Reed, who has been with the army in Porto Rico, and writes military stories, had also served three years with a wing of the big industrial army which fights its war in the coal district of a Middle Western State. Employed in the clerical department, his attention was continually attracted by the humourous, pathetic, and tragic aspects of existence among the men who delve in the dark and cold that others may sit warm in the light.
