Lloyd, Henry Demarest
Mr. Lloyd was an investigative reporter and political activist - championed the powerless and envisioned a new order based upon social justice, the general welfare and principles of Christianity. He lived for weeks and months among the Miners, chronicling their desperation and deprivation, and then travelled to Washington and elsewhere to advocate for their cause. He addressed this letter to the public:
YOU FOR WHOM THE COAL IS DUG . . . far away from the toil and trouble of the miner. The coal diggers spend ten hours a day in their caverns ---pitch dark---except for the flicker and glimmer of the little lamp each carries in the front of his cap - - - They have to work upon their knees, or lying on their side, or stooping low, and sometimes are obliged to lie flat on their backs while digging at the ceiling. THIS hard work in a room three feet or three feet six inches high, hundreds of feet below the surface, in the gloom of perpetual night, with air to breathe got only by artificial and imperfect ventilation, IS THE HUMAN PRICE THAT HAS TO BE PAID FOR ALL OUR COAL. You know this coal only as light, heat, power, comfort, a means of longer life or greater wealth. To the miner it is a black and obdurate enemy, a jailer that imprisons him, shutting out his sunlight . . . ; threatening him daily with death or mutilation in strange and terrible forms, and rewarding his . . . toil with less than the cost of subsistence . . .
