Stonecoal miners dread wintry commutes to mines
Winter days bring snow and biting cold to Coal City miners who ride long distances to work.

Elmer Farley, William Martin, and Claire Dehart ride 8 to 15 miles one way, five days weekly. Lillybrook workers use company transport. M G Moore drives a bus from Sullivan. Workers at East Gulf Mead Resa co Killarney Lillybrook and Winding Gulf toil nearby.
