## Transcript

[ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ SOUND ] Mine owner embark on a vigorous campaign to import strike breakers, from New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cleveland, Saint Louis, and the deep south. Transportation men, as they were called Poured into the area on armed trains often under the protection of National Guardsmen. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] Strikers and their wives were often waiting to confront the transportation men when they disembarked at depots near Paint Creek and Cabin Creek. My aunt Nellie stomped a strikebreaker in the face with her high heels and tore his ears loose and knocked his teeth out and just about killed him, one woman remembered.

She was just a little thing and pregnant, but she could fight and cuss good enough to be a man. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] The women involved in labor strike, they have everything at stake. The survival of their families is at stake. They're going to be the ones who provide much of the support network to keep the strike going. Oftentimes, standing up to company guards. My grandmother and my mother, they would say there's nothing more vicious than a woman on the strike line. [ MUSIC ] Usually the women would gather outside the mine, en masse. And try to keep the scabs from going in. Armed not with guns, but with household utensils.

[ MUSIC ] African Americans are fully engaged in the strike. They meet the trains carrying strike breakers. Dan Chain, alias Few Clothes Johnson, was a very effective organizer and fearless. He was very good with a gun and a fist. It didn't matter if they were black or white strike breakers, they are strike breakers. This is not a race matter, this is a class matter. I don't mean that this is some kind of utopian place, a egalitarian paradise or something, it's not. [ MUSIC ] But it ´ s just that there are more pressing matters right now. The coal operators, they felt that there was no chance those groups would cooperate.

But no matter segregated it is you can ´ t live in a coal camp without getting to know people. Everybody shops at the company store The men all socialized underground. Nobody can see anybody's ethnicity cuz everybody's covered in coal dust. And so after a period of time, you get to know each other. [ MUSIC ] You see a huge ethnic diversity coming together in those conflicts.
