In Charleston West Virginia coal miner Diz Kirk, a seven year veteran, recovers from a slate fall and says coal work pays well. The piece notes 140000 U.S. miners, about 100000 in UMW, with many earning 34 to 37 dollars daily and a push for 50 dollars amid contract talks. It contrasts rugged image with middle class reality and outlines mechanization, wage trends, and regional poverty in Appalachia.
