Description

During Unionization of Coal Company workers, miners' families were evicted from Company owned houses. The Union supplied building material and land and the miners plus others constructed temporary barracks until the labor trouble was settled. Beside the barracks, there was room for small garden plots and here they are shown working in them. See New York Times Sunday Sept. 5th Picture Section.
